What are you guys talking about? This game rocks. When I was six it was all about Mario Bros. 2 + 3, Friday the 13th game, and Ghostbusters game. Now Jaws, that game was shit.

If you weren't a moderator, I would so fucking ban you for saying anything positive about the Friday the 13th game.

 

10 Reasons why Friday the 13th for NES rocks!

1. The cartridge has a kickass top shot of Jason Voorhees.

2. The game takes place at a camp. Kickass! You want to know what other kickass game took place at a camp? Bart Simpson's Escape From Camp Deadly on Gameboy.

3. It's a difficult game, but not in a "this game is broken" sort of way. It's just challenging trying to beat Jason.

4. It looks fantastic for an NES game. Definitely one of the shining examples of stellar 8-bit graphics.

5. Both of the songs, the camp grounds song and cabin song are amazing. Such memorable music. I put it up there among the best of that era, like Mario and Mega Man.

6. You get to fight the floating head of Jason's mother and her attack is ramming herself into you. Genius!

7. You fight zombies the majority of the time, and wolves the rest of the time. How can you go wrong with that?

8. Your weapons are rocks and throwing knives. Wicked cool that is.

9. It's the first game ever with a real alternating day and night system.

10. Not only do you have three studly camp counselor guys to pick from as playable characters, but you also have three sexy camp counselor ladies to pick from. Meeoooww!

How's your itchy banning finger now rocketpig?

 

1. Yes, I agree. That pic is still one of the best cartridge tops ever.

2. The game didn't take place in a camp. It took place in a four-walled box followed by long side-scrolling fighting... uh... zombies? WTF?

3. The game isn't broken, it's just damned-near impossible. And not in a "fun" way. It just sucks. Meet Jason early in the game, die. Restart game, hope you don't meet that creep again until you figure out the obscure fucking controls. Wonderful.

4. No. I think Ice Climber had better graphics.

5. Okay, the music kinda kicked ass. But you're still wrong.

6. You have a mommy complex.

7. Yeah, obviously the Oblivion development team felt the same way.

8. Rocks? The dude is coming at you from an apparently available toolshed full of chainsaws, axes, knives, machetes, etc... Why can't your dumbass stumble across at least one of those?

9. Very cool... But I think that originated the horror game as in "Oh fuck, it's night and I'm screwed" type of play. In fact, I don't think anything other than Silent Hill has duplicated that kind of feel, though for very, very different reasons.

10. I agree.
