Friday the 13th

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.

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)

Seriously one of the stupidest games I've played from this era. This makes Friday the 13th: The Game look like a masterpiece in comparison. It's bonkers to me that this trash-tier game has managed to cultivate a cult-following over the years.

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 game came out on the original Nintendo system and was supposed to be controversial or something, but it really just plays out like your typical game during the time except for the fact every now and then Jason comes out to kill you. Really though you are attacked by more than him as snakes and other critters come after you, like you needed the extra challenge. There are horrible boat scenes, you have to rescue the kiddies, and then you face off against Jason in a shed almost Punch Out style only you get to use machetes and such on him. If you do manage to take his health all the way down he only comes back like one of his bad sequels and you must face him all over again and he is even stronger than before. So in the end you have your typical Nintendo game that is incredibly hard and challenging. I would have rather been Jason hunting the teens and killing them as that would have just been more fun as it would have been different for the time.
