from ign.com:

A few months ago, millions of nerds suffered the ultimate blow -- Activision announced that it would not be publishing Ghostbusters, a title the company came to own after taking over Sierra. However, a ray of light has broken through the clouds this morning thanks to Ray Stantz.

Dan Aykroyd says Atari will be publishing
Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Apparently, Aykroyd lets the beans spill today during an appearance on
Live 105.3 KLLI, a Dallas-based radio station. Although Aykroyd's appearance on the station hasn't been posted on the channel's official Web site, reports of the conversation -- in which Aykroyd said the game is a year away -- are cropping up all over the Internet.

Terminal Reality, the developer behind the Ghostbusters game, offered IGN a no comment this afternoon, and a message with Atari was not immediately returned. When we have more information, this story will be updated, so be sure to check back.

i love how this article starts. maybe this will be the money maker atari needs. maybe....

Not sure Atari is hurting for funds right now.  Remember they fell under the Infogrames umbrella and are now side by side with Namco Bandai.

Good news indeed.  I had this pre-ordered and paid off when they announced that they were cancelling it like a week before it was scheduled to come out.

 

Ray Parker, Jr. in the rotation now...
