Revision Plan:
- Utilization of stage completion flag for levels to prevent false triggering.
- Add pause-locks for full life stages.
- Demote: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2926 permanently , as it's got worse logic and is duplicate of:
https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2925
- Maintain the set in the future

Addendum: Demote https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2880 as it will become a duplicate of:

https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2877 , which is proper clear level.

For this: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2892 permanently demote, as you can't beat the game without beating the boss, which is supplemented here: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2896

Posting a revision plan for this as I always felt that it was a little lacking and that the titles were in desperate need of references. Ghostbusters is one of the most quotable movies of all time. lol

Revision Plan:
Add:

- Cheevos to capture all the ghosts on cases 1-4
- Cheevo to capture every ghost on the game in one playthru
- Damageless boss & miniboss cheevos
- Cheevos to complete the levels deathless and capture all ghosts
- 1 cheevo to buy all weapons and items in the shops
- 2 small reference cheevos for spending your last bit of cash to buy food and another to leave the level with only 1 HP left
- Cheevo to complete the game on normal or hard using only the normal shot

Modify:

 If Something's Gonna Happen, I Want it to Happen to Me First (10) to require the capture of the miniboss ghost along the way so that like the other deathless cheevos, the entire level has to be done in one run

Demote:

 Marshmallow Man (10) and  Marshmallow Man Down Hard (25) due to being the same objective as  Now There's Something You Don't See Every Day (5) and  Nobody Steps on a Church in My Town! (10)
