Ghostbusters: The Video Game[]
When the Ghostbusters returned from Shandor Island, found the Containment Unit was opened and spoke to Janine Melnitz, they watched a NY News 6 report. At the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Blinkers The Science Pup float was attacking bystanders. Instead, the Ghostbusters rushed off to Central Park to save the world.
Development[]
Blinkers was slated to be the boss of the Thanksgiving Day Parade Lost Level (realistic version). In a cut scene during the level, Walter Peck was to be doused in Black Slime by Blinkers as the Ghostbusters tried to alert Mayor Mulligan to the threat of another apocalypse event. [2] The level was cut for the final version of the game and Blinkers was reduced to a brief cameo in the cut scene before the last level.
