The normal enemies look like stock characters and could easily be placed in other games of the horror nature. The camp counselors have no facial features, and the backgrounds are standard woods, lake, cave and trails with nothing major standing out. The game has a special place in my gaming heart and will be one of those games I will always remember that I played and beat. The first person I sawВ beat it was Norman, who was shocked to see that he finally beat it! I would later go on to beat it as well, but Norman was still the first and the trail blazer to beat what was a hard game. Jason not only will fight you in the cabins Punch Out style, he will also surprise attack you during the side scrolling section and try his best to kill you! The game is a challenge for many reasons yes, one is being the bad controls, but also because itвЂ™s a race against time and survival of all the little campers and fellow staff members is in your hands and it can add some pressure as the Jason Alarm (a loud beep) goes off and you know that people are dying! This game is one that I used to play all the time with my brother Bryan and cousins Dino and Norman Dimitrouleas, and all of use would spend hours trying to beat it.

The side scrolling also doesnвЂ™tВ follow the rules, and when heading right you are really going left! But once you get used to this terrible control set up, the game starts to become really fun as you hurry from cabin to cabin lighting the fireplaces and running to the cabins Jason is attacking. The gameplay is a side scrolling action game that adds in a maze style when you enter the cabin, and the maze controls can be confusing and cause the player to get turned around. Your weapons are rocks, knives, an ax, pitchfork, torch and machete, and your goal is to light all the cabins fireplaces, kill JasonвЂ™s momвЂ™s head to get her sweater, save as many of the kids as you can, fight off Jason in and around the cabins, and live through three days of terror. He is not alone as zombies, wolves, birds, bats and his motherвЂ™s floating head all try to slow you down from the rescue. Six counselorsВ are in charge of the campers, but the hockey mask killer Jason Voorhees is back and is making chop steak of the kids. So letвЂ™s take a quick look at Friday The 13 th for the NES.Д¬amp Crystal Lake is back open for business. And before everyone gets worked up, this game is by far NOT the best horror theme game for the NES, but it is by far the most mistreated and underrated and seems to be the punching bag for cheap Angry Video Game Nerd rip-off reviewers the internet wide.

So I figured I would talk real quick about one of my favorites for the NES, based on the horror film series Friday The 13 th by LJN. Consoles!ДЄs you all know, I am a gamer and have been since the days of the NES, and horror themed games have always been my cup of tea. The year 1996 also marked the death of Atari and Panasonic being console makers as both the Jaguar (who even tried to stay alive with a CD game add on) and 3DO hit the electronics graveyard, while Sega and Nintendo held on with the Saturn and N64 it was the Playstation that became the king of the home fifth gen. Sega responded to these systems with an add-on for the Genesis called the 32X in 1994 and then again a year later with stand alone system the Sega Saturn, but the console wars was about to heat up when on September 9 th 1995 Sony released Playstation and Nintendo released the N64 in 1996 as well making an all out war for who would be the king of home consoles. But both failed to capture the market for many reasons, one being 3DOвЂ™s high price sticker on both the games and console and the Jaguar had terrible in-house games and very few third party releases. The year 1993 was the major kick off for what is called the fifth generation of gaming with such systems as the Panasonic 3DO and the Atari Jaguar hitting the market late in the year and both claiming to be as powerful as systems that came before them like The Sega CD, Phillips CD-I and the Super Nintendo. I remember the first time I ever laid eyes on the game that captured my imaginationВ and was one of the key deciding factors for me to buy a Sony Playstation over a Nintendo 64 and other game systems.
