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!

This is a great game, one of the hardest the NES had. It took me a long time to beat it and Jason's random pop-up's were cool and it had good music, good controls, and it was an overall challenging and fun game. But...the original concept of the game would have been 100 times cooler. Originally you would be able to play as either the counselors or Jason! I would have loved to go around hacking up peeps Jason Voorhees style, that would have ruled! The only complaint I had was this, those damn counselors sure did look happy to be at camp blood don't you think. The ending could have been better too, but oh well.

The concept behind this game was very good. The creators even made this 8-bit game fit the creepy mood they were supposed to but c'mon man! The ending stinks! You go through hell to finally kill Jason, then he comes back, then you kill him again, then he comes back again, then you kill him a 3rd and final time, and basically the ending is comprised of a few words and a "The End" title. Oh well, that's 8-bit games for ya.

So excited to play out Friday the 13th as a kid, we all got on our bikes and rushed to the video store when they FINALLY got it...

... only to be disappointed again by another horrible game based on a movie.

It was more playable that MOST of the other games based on movies... but it was still a jumbeled non horrific, boring and repetitive mess where Jason was far too easy to beat and everything else had no place in the Friday the 13th world.

it was a disappointment, but at least it was a disappoint that we could tolerate playing for a little while

I have played that game my self and to me Friday The 13th (VG) was to boring,and to stupid for me,there is no plot in that game except all you do is run around in the woods and go in cabins hoping to get jumped by Jason,him self the game is stupid because it is not scary and all Jason,all he ever does is move side to side.I don't even know why they made that game.Me I would give it a zer0,for being such a retarded game (YAWN)
