Friday the 13th

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)

This game scared me to death as a child!! I played it when I was 7 years old and it changed in some way my taste in video games. Since I played "Friday the 13th" I haven't find any other video game that could scare me. I've played and beat Resident Evil, the scary Silent Hill, Clock Tower, Shadowman, etc. and none of them matches the fear factor of Friday the 13th.

I remember the tension when Jason would kill the children and your character was far to save them. Jason's mother's head is stuff for legend in a video game.

I recommend this game if you live the Friday the 13th experience like me, and other fans. Nevermind the fact that this game it's not based faithful to the movies.

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!

Obviously, the people who designed this game didn't take the time to study the films (or probably didn't watch them). But other than that this game is a great challenge. Adding Jason's Mother's head was a great touch and kept the first film remembered.

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.
