Friday the 13th

This game was very challenging, and as a 10 year old I didn't pick up on Jason's striking patterns. After figuring out how to remember where your counselors are and utilize them all to keep them alive and well equipped, you must defeat a series of beatings by Jason. The lake will wipe you out of life, and there is nothing you can do about it, which always made me mad. When the screen would stop scrolling, you know Jason is coming, but sometimes he would pop up and scare the crap out me. If it took you a while to master Metroid, this game is a great challenge. I never did beat it before growing into my adolescence and not caring about NES anymore, so I was not disappointed by the lame ending!
