@Wally – Back in the early 80’s a company by the name of Wizard Video Games made both Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre Games for the Atari 2600. I never got to play them but I really wanted to. More information is available here:

You have to perfect the art of the “double-duck” after you kill him the first time. His second form is way quicker and he double attacks a lot. His third form always double attacks and fighting him inside any house is almost suicide if you don’t have the Sweater. Your best bet on beating him a third time is to have a character with The Sweater and a Torch and find him outside on a path. That is how I beat the game whenever I play it.

Yeah, but you can say the same for most horror-film franchises from the 1980’s. The NES saw a video game release for Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and JAWS. To my knowledge, only JAWS saw an updated release on a modern console with the PS2. The game was called Jaws Unleashed and the premise was cool since you actually got to play as the shark. Hell, I don’t even think anyone has ever made a video game for the Halloween franchise or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So I guess, in a way, we are lucky enough to have just one game even if it was made over 20 years ago.

I think its sad that we haven’t had ANOTHER Friday the 13th game since this one. I still can’t believe that…

I agree with most everyone here, its a game I love to hate. Yes it is a terrible game, but it brings back alot of memories. I had to save money to get it and was so excited to play it. When I was a kid I truly loved the game. Unfortunately it didnt hold up as I got older, and now its just terrible.

And yes a PS3 or XBox version is desperately needed.

I have beaten this game many times and it is not as bad or difficult as people say it is. You guys just need practice.
I got this game for Christmas in 1989 and it has always been one of my favorite games.
I want a current generation Friday the 13th game for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, DS and PSP. There is a lot of potential for a Friday the 13th game on those consoles. Imagine walking thru the woods in 3D trying to run away from Jason. I would love it.

I don’t know what genre would make for a good F13th game but one thing I do know is that this thing was pure ass. By now it’s expected because pretty much all movie to video games are horrible, but as a kid this thing was so disappointing.

In most side-scrollers you run from left to right and kill things as you move. You should’ve been able to play as Jason in this game because it makes perfect sense.

Instead, you can be any one of a series of counselors and you have to kill zombies with rocks and daggers. Lame. It would’ve been better if you just got to play as Jason and kill random counselors until you met the final “boss” enemy (Ginny, Tommy Jarvis, Tina, etc.)

Still have this game for my NES today. I loved it, and still do. It scared the hell out of me when I was little, but now it just brings back great memories when I Play it.This is one of those games that you need to know how to play it in order to like it, if you don’t know how to play it, chances are you won’t like it.
