It might have looked dated by the time you watched it but its effects where excellent for the time and it was pretty much shot before CGI became pratical since the first movie that featured a very realistic CGI character Young Sherlock Holmes didn't come out until a year later 1985.

I definitely see what you mean. I was just a late bloomer when it came to movie watching to be honest, and didn't really start till after the CGI revolution. It must have been amazing watching Ghostbusters in the cinema back then.

Same here even though I went to the theater once in a while as a kid I really didn't get into movie watching until the late 90s by then pretty much all movies used CGI instead of pratical effects.  Didn't catch Ghostbusters when it was in cinemas but I did catch E.T., Gremlins and The Never Ending Story during their original theatrical runs.
