Friday the 13th (1989 Video Game)
10/10
Genuinely creepy video game. Not for children!
19 August 2006
A classic spooky video game for everyone! A game that has managed to scare many generations of video game players.

I can perfectly remember how shocking this game was when first released. Everyone was talking about it because it was "very scary!". The curious fact is that many avid players of the game didn't even know about the existence of the "Friday the 13th movies". As a die hard fan of the movies I immediately bought this dirty little gem.

The plot is a mix of the movies from part 1 to seven, completely ignoring "Jason Takes Manhattan". There are specially many scenes from the first three movies. Your principal objective is to save the Camp Crystal Lake kids from Jason. If you enter the cabins when he's about to attack them, you will face him and try to kill him. Not the Jason we know in the movies! but still scary enough.

The plot and graphics are surprisingly the less thing you should care about this video game. The real best thing about the game is the creepy/scary factor. No kidding. This game had creepy music, atmosphere, settings, plot, etc. Not to mention that Jason makes frightening surprise appearances! Then, when you face Jason's mother it's also very creepy.

Please, do yourself a favor and FIND this video game. It's probably scarier than many 2000's Horror movies. If you can beat this game, you are truly a Camp Blood survivor!
