Friday the 13th

[Tusken77]

It's Friday the 13th. Looking back, did anyone play the...

Spectrum/C64 Friday the 13th


or NES version of the game?



I never did. I did play Splatterhouse on the Mega Drive, though.

I recently played the Splatterhouse remake and ulocked the origional version and yes it was worse than I remembered. The 7th Guest on my CDi was one of my best horror game experiences followed closely by the original Darkness game and yes I watched the full film To Kill a Mockingbird with my virtual girlfriend before watching her get brutually killed

BTW The dumbed down Darkness 2 doesn't have a patch on the original and they even took out the stealthy snake arm which IMHO was the best bit. I completed the whole ship level with stealth kills and without my personage entering the ship ... good times

Oh yeah, I forgot that the original Splatterhouse can be unlocked in the remake! It hasn't aged well, has it. I love all the Friday the 13th films, a guilty pleasure of mine, but never played the (awful looking) games. Nor have I played The 7th Guest, The Darkness (lol@you watching the entire film ) or The Darkness 2.

I played hours of Friday the 13th on NES. I never did beat it, and believe that it may have been impossible. Stupid, stupid game...

I am partial to the Jason Vorhees movies but Michael Myers is closer to my heart in Halloween ... I even liked the Rob Zombie multilations

Ah, found one! Yeah, it did look pretty bad. No surprise that you never finished it!

As a HUGE John Carpenter fan, I too am a Michael Myers man. I even love the Myers-less Halloween III.

Now your talkin'.

John Carpenter is my favourite director of all time and in my eyes he can do no wrong ... I even love his supposedly "bad" movies

Carpenter really understands how to exploit widescreen, change emotion with a stripped down soundtrack and get the most out of his actors.

Roddy Piper in They Live is pure genius.

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum"

Recognise that one, lol

You sir, have immaculate taste! Carpenter is my favourite, too. Love all his films (although, I have to admit everything including and before They LIve were his golden years. Everything after They Live pales in comparison) and own several books on his work.









Master of widescreen and a soundtrack composing genius.

So, your top 3 Carpenter movies? Mine...

1) The Thing
2) Escape From New York
3) Halloween

I love Lou Carpenter too! He's a legend!
