Friday the 13th video games discussion

[James M]

In this thread, we can discuss the infamous Friday the 13th game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988, as well as the 1985 Commodore 64 game.

I haven't had much experience with the C64 game, but the NES game is difficult, yet fun. You just gotta give it a chance and learn. I finally beat it for the first time tonight (on the actual NES, not an emulator) when I figured out the best way to dodge Jason's attacks when he's in his super fast mode. Just dodge the first hit like a second before he goes for it, and take the second dodge right after. He should miss both hits, and if you're quick, you should be able to get a hit in as he backs up.

Here's an FAQ (not made by me) for the NES game that gives all the tips you need to have a better chance of surviving and kicking Jason's maggoty ass. http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/563418/23657

[Darth Sinister]

Actually, here's a better method.

-Start the game with Mark or Crissy.
-Get a lighter, a dagger and a key.
-Light the two fireplaces at the lake, one by the cave and the one by the east side enterence to the lake.
-You'll get the torch when you got to the northwestern fireplace cabin.
-In round three, sacrifice all the councilers.
-Jason will find you on the road and fight him. He'll die before you, so long as you have a full health and the sweater obtained in round two.

[James M]

What I generally do is start with Mark and use the quick torch method (read the FAQ to see how that works), and then I do the same with Crissy. Then, I have the other characters jump around a bit and kill a few zombies to at least get knives, and have one of them (whichever is closest to the cave, but preferably Laura) kill Mrs. Voorhees for the machete. Sometimes I'm able to get axes or machetes in the cabin in the woods while going through the quick torch method, in which case I pass those off to weaker characters before getting the torch. By Day 2, I generally have all the fire power I'll need, along with plenty of medicine (though I do try to get more...it's more plentiful in the woods and cave). I usually have one of the torch holding characters defeat Mrs. Voorhees on Day 2 for the sweater, while the other hangs around the lake to protect the children. On Day 3, I actually usually have one of the weaker characters kill Mrs. Voorhees for the pitchfork, and then I trade that off to Mark or Crissy (whichever has the sweater, assuming they have lots of health left) for their torch. At this point, it's more or less Jason hunting time, waiting for him to attack a cabin, then leaving right out of it after fighting him so that he hopefully attacks on the trail, then hardly even dodging him...just getting right up next to him and firing like hell. Even if they die, there's still at least two more torch holding characters, so it doesn't take much more to kill Jason.

For whenever you have to fight Jason in the cabins and he's in turbo mode, hit the first dodge right when he touches the wall before he bounces back towards you, and hit the second dodge right as your character comes back from the first dodge. If timed right, Jason should miss every time and you should be able to get a shot in as he backs up.

[Deathscythe]

Has anybody seen the Angry Nintendo Nerds review of this game? Its hilarious.

[CampNewBlood]

We need a NEW game made and released with awesome graphics....creepy forests scenes, cabins, lake, etc.

[The Tall Man]

Guys... I seriously find the NES Friday to be more terrifying than any of the movies.

Goddamned stings.

T.M.

[D-Lo]

Has anybody seen the Angry Nintendo Nerds review of this game? Its hilarious.

I remember in the old forum someone mentioned him. The thing he says about the map I agree with 100%. I never know where the hell I am going. One of the positives is that some of the music is really cool in that game.

I'd give anything to feel that excitement from when I was 10 and Jason would come onto the screen. Your blood turns to ice water.

[zach82]

Yeah, although the game had some serious issues it did have a good thrill factor going for it.

I doubt we'll see any official F13 or "Jason" series games come out anytime soon though. You figure Freddy vs Jason would have been the perfect time for that and we didn't see one then, so seeing one now is about as likely as seeing a snowman in Jamaica imho.

[D-Lo]

Yeah, I'm definatley not counting a Jason game being made. I'm thinking about nerding it up and re-skinning Manhunt for the pc, and changing the directors lines to be some of Pamela Voorhee's from part 1. I see potential for turning the zoo level into crystal lake.

[Jenosis]

Does anyone still have Friday the 13th Gold Edition NES? It was fan made mod of the original NES game, but with better graphics... If so post it.

[Speck]

Friday the 13th was the sorriest game I've ever played on the NES. I wish they had put more thought into it when they created that game. It seems all games made by LJN were of poor quality.

[Rich]

You know, reguarding the awesome Nintendo game, I got the sweater once and Jason still killed me.

[Darth Sinister]

Of course he's still going to kill you. The only difference is that the sweater will take off less damage per attack. So instead of losing four bars on your life meter, you lose two.

[Rich]

I was under the impression, after reading the instruction manual to the game, that if you have the sweater, Jason will not even attack you.

[Darth Sinister]

I don't have my manual anymore, so I cannot confirm what it said. But no, Jason will still attack you. He's just not taking off as much damage as before. Same with the zombies, wolves, crows, bats and of course good ol' Pamela herself. Cool tip for those who don't know, stand just to the right of the N in Jason's name in the cabin fights. It takes off more of his life meter.

[Just Jeans]

Goddamned stings.

Every time Jason bounds through on screen, I jump. And I generally know when he's coming, because he forms a crazy pattern. :duh:

The game whips my ass, though. I've only ever made it through round 1, I guess. The game doesn't have a save feature, so after I defeated Jason the first time, I quit. I thought it just endlessly looped.

It does the same thing over for the 3 days in the game. It's fun but, very very hard, and also repetative.

[Shoesalesman]

Glad I found this thread. :D

Just picked up the old Nintendo F13 game from ebay late last year. Having a ball reliving this old game.

[Spade]

I still play this game on occasion.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I bought this off of a friend a LONG time ago.....in the 4th or 5th grade I believe. I always had a blast playing it. I should pop it in sometime. :)

[James M]

Has anyone used my tips on fighting Jason to success?

Here's a video someone put on YouTube of the ending, including the defeat of Jason. Watching this might help show how you should dodge him when he's in turbo mode.

[nottidelterrore]

As much as I love pretty much everything Friday the 13th, I thought the game was absolutely terrible.

Throwing rocks at Jason?

[James M]

You can get lots of other better weapons as you play.

[nottidelterrore]

You can get lots of other better weapons as you play.

I know. It doesn't make the game suck any less though.

It's fun to play once in awhile if you want to kill some time but it's really just another LJN movie-based video game that blows.

[Antonynz]

Who has played HItman?
I was playing Hitman Blood Money the other day, in 1st person view. I was sneaking up to poeple and killing them.
It felt just like Friday the 13th!
The makers of Hitman need to make a Friday The 13th game.

[Darth Sinister]

I know. It doesn't make the game suck any less though.

Each to his own. I can still play this game and enjoy the hell out of it. I can remember playing it for weeks on end in the early 90's.

[nottidelterrore]

Each to his own. I can still play this game and enjoy the hell out of it. I can remember playing it for weeks on end in the early 90's.

I honestly tried to enjoy it because the fact that a Friday the 13th game exists for NES that has you battling Jason is a cool concept & all but LJN just made a subpar game at most.

I actually enjoyed LJN's A Nightmare on Elm Street videogame opposed to the Friday the 13th one. It was ridiculous but kinda fun.

[Darth Sinister]

Sure, the graphics and music aren't that great. But it's not entirely bad. Prior to finding out the trick for beating the game in about a half hour, it was damned near impossible to beat. Replay value, that's what it has.

[The Tall Man]

Darth, for me what's so awful about the Friday videogame is the heart-attack enducing stings.

T.M.

[Darth Sinister]

Well, at least they had those in the game. I think it made the game effective, unless you knew he was coming on the road.

[The Tall Man]

Tell me that again when you have a little heart misadventure. ;)

T.M.

[Joe Strummer]

F13 is the first videogame that ever made me jump. The game itself was not that great, but the part where you had to row your boat and Jason swims by like frigging jaws made me hit the ceiling. I did not expect that at all and I was probably like 10 years old when I played it. christ I'm old.

[Darth Sinister]

I never said that I didn't jump in the early days of playing. But once I knew what to look for, I haven't jumped.

[nottidelterrore]

I'll give the game credit for the random Jason appearances. Those used to make me jump like a mofo when I was a kid. They'd probably make me flinch or something now if I still played the game.

[The One and Only]

Whenever I saw a game with the LJN emblem, I avoided the bugger like the plague. Those games were always the low man on the video game totem pole. Although, I did like the idea you got to fight the disembodied head of Mrs. Voorhees. Also with the zombies involved in the game always gave me the idea that there was something about those woods that was a little larger than than just our favorite machete wielding Mama's boy.

[D-Lo]

Here is a vid that fans of the game might appreciate.

That's awesome. I love a lot of video game music from the 8 and 16-bit eras and hearing them played like that is awesome. Thanks for the link.

No prob. And thanks, that was my friend and I that did the vid.

[Jigsaw]

That was pretty cool to see as well, the little F13 segment with Jason chasing the guy around (who played who?).

[D-Lo]

My friend (Tom) played Jason since he is almost 6'4", he is a much better fit for the part than I am. I played as myself, which makes more sense anyway, since I was playing the guitar track.

The music is the most memorable thing about that game, or at least to me it is.

[Jigsaw]

Tom makes a pretty good Jason, from the look, mannerisms and body type.

I agree that the F13 NES game has some great and eerie music in it. I like the game, too, it's hard but fun.

F13 NES Game Shrine And Guide (http://www.nestimes.silius.net/shrines/f13/)


Even though this game is hard as Hell and can be frustrating, I still love it. I beat it a few years back after trying for many years (I also beat the NOES NES game as well). This game is genuinely scary in parts (when you're searching through the cabins, and whenever Jason pops out of nowhere) and though it's tough, it's a lot of fun as well. It does a nice job of combining the old-school elements of the series. The new F13 movie looks to be combining a few aspects of the game as well, with the camp and woodsland setting.
ADDED:
Shit, I totally forgot about this thread :shyface: I actually searched in the F13 forum too, and nothing turned up. Sorry about that.

[The Dream Master]

It's cool. It happens sometimes.

As for the NES game, I have it around here somewhere. I need to dust it off and give it a play. It frustrated the hell out of me when I played it as a kid.

[Jigsaw]

It takes a lot of patience, concentration and effort to beat both the F13 and NOES NES games. I will say that the games do a damn good job of making the video game counterparts of Freddy and Jason almost as impossible to kill as their onscreen brethren.

[The Dream Master]

Shit yeah. The Nightmare NES game was difficult too, but not in the same way that F13 was. I can remember walking around aimlessly in F13 for a good amount of time.

[Jigsaw]

It's super easy to get lost in the forest and the caves. You could spend forever trying to find your way out of those.

[Brett H.]

I can never remember coming close to beating Jason without a Game Genie. I wonder if the strategy is to just not get hit and try not to attack unless you have machetes or what...

I remember I actually found Jason's mom by myself randomly because once I accidentally hit up and went somewhere in the caves and I kept fucking around with that. Before then my older cousin told me Jason's mom was in the caves, but I don't know if I ever believed him 100%, or perhaps I did but just figured I'd never find it and put it in the back of my mind. It was cool as fuck when I did. I can't remember the purpose of a lot of shit though, like the torches. Lighting the cabins... for what? I used to think maybe you could throw Jason in the fire when I was a kid.

[Jigsaw]

Lighting the fireplaces inside the cabins earns you a torch every time, which besides the uber-rare pitchfork is the most effective weapon against Jason.

[Brett H.]

How do you use a torch?!

[Jigsaw]

Fling it at Jason using the attack button.

[God of Thunder]

I never beat the NES game on my NES. Jason'd always whup my ass. I did play it online and beat with a Game Genie code.... shitty ending. Ah well.

[Brett H.]

Oh fuck I'm just watching a video on youtube... I don't think I ever knew you could dodge, no wonder I found the game so hard...

Needless to say, I can't wait to play this again now. I'll have to put the run on my Ipod so I can see where the axe and shit is.

[Jigsaw]

Anyone else think Jason in the NES game looks more than a little similar to Jason's appearance in JGTH?


http://www.nestimes.silius.net/shrines/f13/enemies/jasonwalking.gif http://www.filmsquish.com/guts/files/images/jgth_shot1l.jpg

[Brett H.]

What would Kane say if he saw NES Jason running?

[Jigsaw]

"Jason wouldn't do that?" :lol: That Jason sprite looks more like he's working out :lol:

[Brett H.]

It's as though Jason hopped into the Punch-Out cutscene.

[nottidelterrore]

I like the J-Man's purple suit. Very flashy!

[Jigsaw]

One has to wonder how much better the graphics might be on a Genesis or Super NES if a port for both was ever made.

[JVM]

I just don't get where Jason's mask went. lol j/k but seriously they made his skin blue and the mask blue.

[James M]

The Commodore 64 game has an interesting premise, but I'd rank it below the NES game. Here's a video review someone did of it. Just be prepared to hear "so basically" a lot. Also the guy never really fights Jason, I guess cause he didn't know which person was supposed to be him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_daQwz-6c

Gameplay issues aside, since when is Jason a normal looking guy with black hair?

Here's another gameplay video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnqKzEdZNN0

[The One and Only]

Looks like Jason is getting ready for some power walking this fine morning in his purple jump suit, and then it's off to the schuffleboard court with the rest of the retirees.

[Darth Sinister]

Shit, you don't need a Game Genie for it. It's so damn easy once you figure out the trick. Go back to what I said earlier in this thread and copy it. You'll find that the game is practically easy once you do it.

The game is surprisingly fun to play for those quick 15-20 minute spurts. It's just extremely easy though and you somewhat have to make it harder by choosing weaker weapons, no long distance throwing weapons, etc.

It's interesting in that you go to Camp Crystal Holiday Lake (yeah, I know, Holiday...) yet you find Jason's bloody mask on your bed according to the intro and that you instantly recognize it. Why in the hell are you there if you know about Jason to begin with? Anyway, it's at least a story reason why you don't see Jason with the mask on.

If you really wanted to, you could say Jason body hopped ala Jason Goes To Hell and that's why he's disguised as your friend. In all honesty though, even if they gave Jason the mask you wouldn't be able to tell. It's a C64 game so graphics are not it's strong point. :p

At least you get to weild a mail box....or maybe that's supposed to be an Ax.:shifty:

That was awesome!

[SpiderFace]

One of my favorite games and one of LJN's only enjoyable games besides Elm Street, Gotcha, T&C, Maximum Carnage and True Lies.

This was hard but a challenging game that i managed to beat.

[The Dude]

i thought it was a pretty awful game.

[Dead Cell]

It just makes me sad that no one ever made another F13 game after the NES one. I'd love to see what they could do on the next gen consoles.

[Ron]

I think I may go to my local comic and collectible shop and pick up an NES and Friday the 13th. I know I can play it online, but it's just not the same.

[CrystalLake]

I had an idea for a new Friday the 13th game, and I think it's really good.

Basically it's a first-person game based on stealth. You play as Jason throughout all movies (excluding the remake) and you have to use stealth and the environment to kill your victims. For the films that don't feature Jason such as Part 1 and Part 5, you play as the killer of that film. So, in the prologue you play as Jason's mom. Killing teens may sound easy, but it's really not because Jason has the life-span of a normal human being. Two or three hits with a melee weapon, and you're down.

When you become Undead Jason, the enemies are upgraded to suit your strengths, so you will have enemies such as SWAT teams, and the Space Marines. So you have to use stealth, and the environment, to make a sweet kill. There will also be innovative boss fights such as Tommy Jarvis, Tina, and even Freddy Krueger.

Sound good?

[Dead Cell]

If they ever made a new F13 game, I'd want it to be like this:

* Not based on any particular movie. New cast of teens.

* It'd be set at Crystal Lake. I'm thinking this would be a large environment, so there'd be all the homes around the lake, Camp Crystal Lake, Camp Packanack, Jason's cabin, some really thick woods, I'd want it to go all the way out to the highway- maybe even to the outskirts of Cunningham County. Basically, I'd want the player to be able to go most everywhere that the characters in the movies do... with exception to Manhattan, Springwood, or space.

* You'd start out playing as one of the teens. After beating the game once, you'd be able to play through as Jason.

* As a non-Jason character, there'd be all kinds of various minigames; busting out the dance moves, playing on the lake, checking out the archery range, beer pong, there'd have to be a sex minigame, blah blah blah. You know- all the stuff they do in the movies.

* The core gameplay would be centered around evading and defeating Jason. Environment interaction would have to be really high. You should be able to use just about anything,

* Multiple endings including one where you escape the camp entirely. I figure at least one of the cars has to work. :P

* The story would have to be really flexible. I'm thinking like Heavy Rain here where characters can live or die depending on how you play. You could go the traditional route and let all your friends get killed until it's just you and Jason, or you could do everything in your power to keep everyone alive (or just the people you like :D )

It could be fun.

[CrystalLake]

That actually does sound pretty fun. So when you unlock Jason, does the game change completely? or is he just a skin model?

[Dead Cell]

LoL! You know I've spent entire days at work just thinking about how Jason would play! :shy:

* Like the main players, you need to be able to interact with anything and everything. Jason's choice of weapon should feel nearly unlimited, going from using his bare hands to cranking out the tree trimmer. Like in Dead Rising, nothing is off limits. Tree branch, ice pick, ax, or just plain launching someone off the 2nd floor of a cabin. Whatever works!

* Playing as a main character, you should be able to barricade the doors and windows. Playing as Jason, you can do the same, but it's more likely you'll be doing so to keep a teen from escaping the house you're in (thinking part 3 when he locks the barn door). Also, as Jason you should have the strength to blow through any door that's not barricaded. Hehe. Oh! And you could launch dead bodies through the windows!

* I'm thinking the game would rip-off the 3/4 over-the-shoulder camera of Resident Evil 4, and allow you to go into a 1st person "Stalker" mode to emulate the early movies. Everyone likes 1st person, and even I can't see myself playing without it in games like RE4, so maybe the 1st person thing would be available for the regular teens too. But saving it for Jason kind of makes it more special. :P I don't know!

* A heavier focus on stealth gameplay. If you're spotted peeking in the windows or walking right out in the open, the campers will take off running, usually forming groups and arming themselves. Players should get a good feel for why Jason typically goes after victims one at a time.

* In both the regular and Jason games, the campers should be able to call the police. There might even be a section in the main game where you can play as a cop arriving on the scene. But yeah, in the Jason game you don't want this to happen. The more help the campers bring in, the harder it'll be.

* Jason's mini-games uh... I'm not sure. You have to include a gameplay element that allows you to string up dead bodies in the trees or wherever you think they'll cause the most panic. But I don't know as though that would constitute an entire mini-game. To me, that's more like Solid Snake stuffing a body in a locker. Any ideas? Setting snare traps, etc. Still doesn't feel like mini-game stuff to me. Maybe Jason doesn't need mini-games.

* Jason's game ends when you kill everyone in the area. Half the time the campers will be trying to escape altogether. If anyone makes it off the lake, then... game over? Not sure. What do you think? That might work towards motivating the need to be stealthy. If you scare everyone at once and they all run in different directions- good luck stopping all of them before they get away.

* For the main game, I'm thinking there should be the option of using a set cast of teens or having the option of creating your own. That could be cool. Replace as many of the default cast as you want. Mix it up some. Yeah.

* Oh! Okay, so I'm straying away from Jason gameplay, but I have to get this in here. The sex mini-game; Any time you decide to get frisky, there'd be like a time limit. You'd hear the "ki ki ki... ha ha ha... " music but it'd be real quiet at first. The longer you keep at it, the louder it gets- signalling that Jason's getting closer with every second. Something like that. Not sure how that would end- do you jump out of bed at the last second and have naked teens running around the cabin? *L* I can just see how that would go down with the ESRB!

[Germaniac]

I doubt we will ever get a good OFFICIAL F13 game.

No company would make a game in which you walk around and kill innocent people. The censors will eat it up!
On the other hand: Having the player be a "hero" character that has to run away/ fight Jason then there isn´t much to do. You have to add a lot of stuff in order to make the game exiting (e.g. the zombies in the NES game). And this totaly destroys the F13-athmo for me.

I am currently trying to create a game which let´s you replay the movies from the hero-perspective (you run away from Jason and fight back). I have a demo, in which you can play through parts 1 and 2 and get a glimpse of lPart 3. Controls: arrows for movement (up= jump, down= crawl-mode). Use space for attacking in fight-scenes.

I agree that I wouldn't want zombies and other crap shambling around the lake either. But in this age of cut-scenes and games with stories, you can find all kinds of other enemies to work into the game. There could be a character like Tommy Jarvis in part 6 that has to evade the cops. There could be pissed off bikers like in part 3. The action could switch from character to character depending on where the action is. Nothing says you have to play as one single character through the whole game. There's lots of ways to work around there being a limited amount of enemies for the game. Hell, car chase anyone? Cops vs. a red camaro. Hell yeah! There's a lot you could do. Just have to get creative with it and don't think of it as being exclusively like a Resident Evil game where you blast endless hordes.

Grand Theft Auto is about a guy who ripped cops out of their cars and kills them, steels their cars, and buys prostitutes.

If GTA can get away with all of that then I'm sure they can get away with making a Friday the 13th game where you play as Jason and your mission is to rid Camp Crystal Lake and the surrounding areas of tresspassers.

[Rick]

I agree, they could make a good Friday the 13th game if they wanted.
However, games Like GTA and Manhunt aren't just about murdering innocent people.
The main stories in GTA usually have you stealing from and killing other bad guys. Killing innocent people is a choice within the game, but it's not what drives the story.
A Friday the 13th video game played from Jason's perspective would be driven by murdering innocent people and I think that scares developers.

Not to mention GTA games have stories. What kind of story is it if you just play Jason? Hack & slash? That would be kinda boring. Beside, it's more fun trying to kill Jason than being himself. :jason:

[Rich]

The story line wouldn't have to be deep or anything, but maybe they can include the spirit of Pamela Voorhees and her head on the alter and the camp reopening and councelors exploring the woods and you have to protect Mrs. Voorhees' head and the territory and things like that.

GTA might have a good story line and all, but you still kill cops and pay for hookers in it whether it is the main thing to do in the game or not.

[royburns]

You can now play the emulated game online just type in "friday the 13th nes game"

[Rich]

People always say that the NES game was a bad game. I think it was a good game compaired to a lot of other games of it's era. That Elm Street game was absolutely terrible.

Anyone see this? And know what it is? Looked pretty cool, especially how you could select your Jason or his mama.

[PeterBaker]

Those links wont work on this computer (work computer). Its is the mortal kombat-looking horror game, where you fight other horror icons, that online demo was the shit!!

I still love the old NES game. It still makes me jump! I also wouldn't hold it pass any of the chicks in the movies to throw rocks at Jason, lol.

[Kat]

People always say that the NES game was a bad game. I think it was a good game compaired to a lot of other games of it's era. That Elm Street game was absolutely terrible.

I think it is a bad game, but it's no where near as shitty as the Elm Street game. What pissed me off about the Friday the 13th game was that screen with all the cabins.

Now you don't have to blow in the cartride/system 5 million times to get it to work.

My game hasn't improved much. Slightly, but Jason stills makes me his personal bitch. :D

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I never understood why Jason tries to box you in the game. :confused:

[The Tall Man]

He'd just seen "Rocky IV".

T.M., Esq.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

He'd just seen "Rocky IV".

T.M., Esq.

:lol:

They should've put Dolph Lundgren in the game. Whatever he hits.....HE DESTROYS!

[The Tall Man]

:lmao:

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

I never understood why Jason tries to box you in the game. :confused:

I never understood why Jason tkes an absolute BULLSHIT number of hit points from you.

I mean shit, it's possible to avoid taking ahit from him (in the cabins, outside is a different story) but damn, if you do it depltes like 5 ir 6 life bars... with his fists, more with a machete/axe.

I also never understood why you have to do things in order to get the weapons, like the axe in the woods cabin only showing up when it felt like it, why the forest is so hard to navigate, why Mrs. Voorhees doesn't have life bar (and why her hits absolutely CAN NOT be blocked if you aren't on the opposite side of the room), why George and Paul totally SUCK, why.... god damn, I like the game, but they had complete assholes programming it.

[SlasherFreak]

Haha...anyone ever notice how the black kid could run the fastest on the NES game?

[God of Thunder]

Haha...anyone ever notice how the black kid could run the fastest on the NES game?

WHAT??? You kiddin' me? Paul was slow as hell!

[SlasherFreak]

Hmmm...was that him? Possibly Im remembering it wrong.

[God of Thunder]

Hmmm...was that him? Possibly Im remembering it wrong.

Mark, Crissy, and one of the other girls were the fast runners in the game.... Debbie, George, and Paul (the black kid) went slow as hell, which makes the night parts particularly infuriating because zombies are CONSTANTLY popping out of the ground.
ADDED:
And mother FUCKER I hate that goddamned knife!!!! Ugh. I was just playing it, had the machete, then I jumped over a zombie and landed on a knife... fucking BULLSHIT!!!!

[The Tall Man]

Which begs the question... why the fuck are there zombies at Crystal Lake?

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

Definitely the only game tht insists you fight the forces of the undead with..... rocks.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

They should've called it Night of the Living Dead meets Rocky Balboa on Friday the 13th

[God of Thunder]

Crystal Lake REALLY went to shit in that game. Caves, dark, unnavigatable forests, zombies, vicious birds and wolves, evil floating severed heads, and a big, unstoppable motherfucker in a purple jumpsuit and a blue hockey mask.

[The Tall Man]

Have any of you seen the Friday mod on youtube where they gave the characters names from the movies and made Jason look like he does in part 7? It's pretty snifty.

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

As in, they used his face, which looked like a dead nun's decaying vagina? Cool.

And goddammit, I actually beat him the first night tonight (finally, 7 years people....) but failed on an epic level the next day. I gotta stop using multiple counselers.

[The Tall Man]

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

Exactly how that fuckin guy beat the gme in the time it takes to jerk off, I'll never realize. :D

I'm just gonna avoid Jason in the cabins until he gets to the kids. Fuck 2nd Day Cabin Jason!

[The Tall Man]

Thunder, get a game genie. ;)

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

I would certainly do that if I had an NES and the cartridge. I used to have the cartridge and played it a bit a while back, but I have no idea where it is now, it stayed with my aunt and uncle, who have divorced since.... no clue where the NES or my F13 cartridge are. I use an emulator now, the Java one on Vizzed. The NES Cafe one has a Game Genie option, but the game is slow!!!!! THe Java one is the best one I can think of.

Besides, I'd prefer to hand Jason;'s ass to him the proper way. I seem to ahve finally gotten a knack for putting his dick in the dirt the first day, but the second..... always gets me when he does that super serpentine turbo bullshit in the cabin. :D

[The Tall Man]

"The proper way"? It's 20 years later... I assure you nobody cares how you beat the game. ;)

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

Well, ya know I got muh pride n' all. :p

And update, I finally survived the second day. Was pretty much sodomized by Jason the next day. Lame.

[God of Thunder]

MOTHERFUCKER!!!! I just can not beat Jason on the third day! I am convinced that there is no possible way to hit his ass in the cabin, he turns into the fucking Flash or something! And I can't seem to catch him out in the open. Always get the pitchfork, but can never get him! Lame.


Mrs. Voorhees hits are a bit ridiculously hard to doge... hate when she traps me in a corner.

[The Tall Man]

Instead of aiming at where Jason is, aim at where he's going to be.

T.M., Esq.

[Rick]

After beating Jason the first couple times he becomes so fast he's hard to hit.
My strategy was to not move my character around and only dodge to the left and right when Jason attacked.
I'd never even attempt to hit Jason unless he was backing up right in front of me.
You can get a handle on his pattern, but the dodging is the most important part.

[God of Thunder]

I honestly don't have enough time to dodge the 2nd hit from him. I can dodge once, but by the time he pops another punch, my character's always gotten back up again. Ocvcasionally I can avoid by dodging, and stepping to the side, but that only works half of the time.

The 3rd day is such a cunt.

[Violent VictiM]

I remember when I was a kid I had no fucking clue what I was doing, or even that you could dodge! I'd die the first day and be like, "Wow, this game is pretty fuckin' whack". But it was Jason, so of course I played it. When I got older and started emulat.. borrowing consoles from my friends along with purchased copies of the game.. and I got the dodge down pat, game was a breeze.

It however has the worst ending to a video game next to 'The Karate Kid'.

[James M]

In response to the above post with that speed run, watch him beat it in 3 minutes, 28 seconds.

[Monkey]

I've never liked this game. It mainly boils down to the fact that I have no unearthly idea of what I'm supposed to do and I haven't spent enough time to figure out where everything is.

I know the characters have different strengths and weaknesses, some are much better to use than others. Maybe if they added a Contra-style spread gun, some hand grenades, and an ATV... I might have a chance.

I'm normally pretty good at video games, especially those during the 8 & 16-bit era. But this game practically owns me at every go.

I'm disappointed they haven't released a F13 game since. I'd love to play a survival-horror version of this game. Unfortunately, besides Jason, who or what could you put into this game as an enemy? Zombies, crows, and wolves... wtf?

[The One and Only]

Not from the Friday The 13th video game, but these two bosses from the end of the old SNK first person arcade shooter, BEAST BUSTERS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uOVdZITWwM&feature=related), where your mission is to make your way through scads of zombies. In order to find ,and eliminate the source of this zombie plague. Among the bosses you encounter are a punk zombie werewolf, and two hockey mask wearing creatures:jason::saw:. You end up having to fight everu Boss, including the one behind it all in the final level.

[Darth Sinister]

I honestly don't have enough time to dodge the 2nd hit from him. I can dodge once, but by the time he pops another punch, my character's always gotten back up again. Ocvcasionally I can avoid by dodging, and stepping to the side, but that only works half of the time.

The 3rd day is such a cunt.

On day three, you don't fight him in the cabin. You fight him on the roads. My method is to sacrifice the other counselors when he attacks at the lake cabins. Then wait for him to come at me with Mark who has the sweater and the torch, along with plenty of vitamins. Once that happens, I just unload on him until it's done.

He's not that bad in day two when fighting in the cabin. Just look for when he speeds up and just dodge. Once he starts to slow down, then you hit him.

[Mega Man]

Here's a far-out theory of mine:
http://nesplayer.com/board/index.php?topic=6381.0
Yes, they actually did use Roy's design in the manual.

[James M]

They also used the design of Roy's mask on the DVD covers for Fridays 6-8 (and the original DVD for 6 has a picture of Roy with recolored mask designs on the back cover). Does that make Roy the killer in those movies? Of course not. The cover and movie are different things, like the game manual and the game itself. Also, they say it is Jason, so it's Jason. Come on now, LJN did not make a Roy game just because the mask doesn't have an axe cut on it. It was poor graphical design. Why would they even consider such a thing when Jason = $ and Roy = something most fans hate? I understand creative interpretations, and you're free to imagine it's Roy in this game, but come on, LJN didn't really intend for the character to be Roy, and I'd wager anything on that.

Is that some kinda mod or something? Jason's sprite actually somewhat resembles the part 7 design instead of that fruity purple jumpsuit version I've seen in other videos of the game.

[The Tall Man]

Yes. It's modded to resemble the Friday films more.

T.M., Esq.

[God of Thunder]

Ha, the green skin is kinda funny. FrankenJason!!!! :D

[Dead Cell]

Another Friday the 13th weekend has come upon us, and another gaming website perpetuates the myth of this game's difficulty. So I wrote up a short little blog article about how to smoke this game!
