    Friday The 13th (VG) what an idiotic game

    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)

    One of the worst NES games

    Rated T for Violence.

    I enjoy the Friday the 13th horror series.I actually liked the film Freddy Vs Jason.I have not seen all the Friday the 13th movies but I have seen some.Anyway I used to have an NES Emulator on my computer.One of the games I got for it was the Friday The 13th NES game.I played it and I was disappointed especially after having played the fairly good Nightmare On Elm Street game.Maybe for 1989 the game was pretty scary and you could walk on foot and drive boats but other than that the game has no redeeming values.The graphics are not very good even for the NES.The gameplay is sort of boring and pretty hard.All you do is see bad guys pop up and kill them with rocks.Definitely not worth your time.If you want a good horror game for the NES then play Nightmare on Elm Street.That game was actually pretty good.Don't bother with this one even if you're a big fan of Friday the 13th.

    3/10

    Fun until the disappointing ending.

    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.

    I would rather have been Jason.

    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.

    Just awful...

    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.
