Friday the 13th (Nintendo, 1988)

Friday the 13th is the kind of game that people assume will be awesome because it's based on the awesome movie of the same name and admititly when I was a kid I did enjoy playing this but looking at it today I can't help but wonder why. You play as one of the camp counslers and your weapon is a rock that arcs over everything unless it's clear across the screen or right on top of you...getting the knife is a must it shoots straight out. Anyway you go around into cabins collecting potions, lighters, and more. The problem occurs when you hear the "JASON ALARM" which is a counter that tells you that Jason is in a cabin after the children and you have a short amount of time to get there and save them. That in itself isn't a bad thing but you'll soon notice that your map is backwards if you go to the map when the Alarm's going off you'll see yourself and one cabin blinking...that's where you need to go BUT if the cabin is left from where you are exit the map and go right. There is also a cave and a forest that you can get lost in because you won't see where you are on the map and the background all looks the same. This game is ok but in the long run they could have done much better. All in all I give this game a 5 out of 10

i love it it workes perfectly and it is a great game i give it an a++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I remember this game from when i was little, I bought it was suprised I remembered how to play it. Now I can't stop, totally fun.

Here's something that I really like about Friday the 13th on the NES: you're an idiot for reading past that colon. Nothing is even mildly fun about this game. All you do is just go around the camp, lighting fires in cabins. I don't think I even need to explain that. Come on, LJN, really? That is probably the worst idea ever for a game. It would've been more fun if you could play as Jason, but nope, you'll just have to settle for these crappy counselors who can't do diddly-dick.

Summary: Music = balls. Gameplay = Testicles. Fun = 0.5/10

I enjoy playing Friday the 13th and hope a company makes another one since the movgies are so popular.

This is a great game to have in your collection especially if you're a fan of the friday the 13th franchise it's a pretty simple game but it keeps you entertained beward of jason he's hiding somewhere in those cabins!!!! 5 thumbs up

GREAT PAST GAMING THE OLD SCHOOL IS ALWAYS BETTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT BEST OF BEST THANK YOU SO MUCH SELLER FOR HAVING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This is an awesome old school nintendo game,I remember this game from my childhood and how good it was, i just recieved the game and it is just as i remembered it, the game is in top condition,plays very smoothly,no glitches,no fuzzy screens or lines,awesome all around.

I bought it thinking it would be "something different"...it was..I was very dissappointed. Not on my top 20 list, as a matter of fact, it will be for sale on e-bay soon.

My son is 10 and he liked the game. He is at the age that he loves scary movies, and Friday the 13th IS ONE OF HIS FAVORITES. So far everything is excellent with the game.

I loved this game when I was a kid. It brings back thoes fun days after school when you and all your frends would hang out and yell at the tv....
