I remember playing this YEARS ago. I wonder why they won't put out a similar game for xbox or ps2....you know it would sell if they put a lil effort into it. Anyway, creepy game, used to scare the hell outta me; and definitely nostalgic playing it now.

Its okay but....

I thought Jason used a machete? not a throwing axe. O well you dont have munch time to think about it because your about to die!! You get killed fast.

YOu don't know challenging until you have palyed Friday the 13th. For one thing time is always against you and the weapons (are bad). IT really follows no movie story line but still can hold it's own and provide many hours of gameplay.
The music is basic NES style.
Graphics are the same thing but has one of the coolest NES entrences ever, I won't spoil it.
The controls are very smooth which is nice.
The difficulty on am scale from 1-10, would be an 11. I mean this one difficult game as a whole. YOu will not be able to win on teh first try guarentted. YOu also have to beat Jason (all his HP drained) 3x and eaxh time he gets a little faster and a little stronger.
However still buy this because it is fun. YOu won't regret it (your controller might though).

It's going to be a bloodbath!

At first I thought Friday the 13th was going to be boring
as my friends said but when I bought it, it was awesome!
But the hard part about the game is that you can't kill Jason
that easily! He's Freakin' Fast Yo!!
But I love the game!

Horror movie fan!!!!

Get this, my parents bought this game for me as an Easter present back in the day... I loved it.
They usually never bought video games for me because I never liked them (they kept my friends in the house during the summertime... how lame is that?? I had to resort to playing one-on-one with my shadow which, by the way, guarded me pretty well) but this was an exception since I love horror stuff.

This game, like other reviewers say, is VERY scary and it totally 'puts you in the movie.' Even with the untraditional Friday the 13th characters like zombies & what not, you still feel like you're in the movie. The game's setting is identical to the movie's and Jason looks very scary, as does his mom. The music is annoying but still a good selection for a scary video game.
You have a selection of counselors that you use throughout the game, each has a different talent (one is fast, one jumps really high, one is really strong but slow... etc). If you lose energy with a counselor, you can switch to one of the others but somewhere down the line you'll have to go back & use the weaker one again... it's a teamwork game.

The game is hard to beat but, in my opinion, it's harder to find all the weapons. I beat Jason before I found all the weapons.

This game was reviewed poorly back in the day but I loved it, as will any horror movie/game fan around (even with the outdated graphics).

I recommend getting this game along with a working NES for this and a couple other games if so inclined.

Ok, I can't figure out why I just reviewed this game... I'm as lame as the kids that stay in the house to play video/computer games during the summer... KIDS, GET OUTSIDE, THE PARKS ARE EMPTY... you'll have plenty of time to play video games when you're old has beens like me!!!

what were they thinking?

im doing this review with sarcasm. You play as a camp counsler. and isnt it fun to go around lighting fire places and throwing rocks at zombies. I just love it that the laws of left and right dont applie. The Jason alarm goes off sometimes and your map shows where you go so it looks like I go left so I walk that way and I look on my map and I was actilly going right.So when you get there a counsler sais thx and Im like thx for walking in the cabin umm your welcome. (Now im not using sarcasm) If you dont think the map is confusing wait till you go in the woods you dont know where you are and now I just want to get out. and the music is agnoining id turn the volume down but I have to hear the Jason alarm and its all a test of my self control

The Intro Is The ONLY Good Thing

I was like many other kids at the time when this game came out. Thought it'd be cool to play a Jason game. Well, like many kids did, I threw this game into the junk pile quickly after getting it, sad that I wasted money on such a piece of garbage.

-Graphics are what you'd expect from a NES game.
-Controls are stiff and thumb-numbing.
-Jason is stout and PURPLE!!
-After a while of running around you want to yank the game out because the sound effects of the alarm are so annoying!
-As many others have said, Jason is IMPOSSIBLE to beat!

You're better off playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Urban Champion, or Kung Fu. Unless you're looking to get this game to complete your collection of rotten games, DON'T GET IT!

Awsome game, creepy movie atmosphere!

This game is truly amazing for NES, even though it is very old and for NES it is still pretty cool. You can be one of many teenager (they look like kids though) to battle the great Jason and look for the missing children. Jaosn is very hard to kill, that the only reason I gave this a 4 instead of 5, he is creepy though, you find him in houses. Its a big level, with many houses, if you lucky you will go into the house with Jason and fight him , bu he allways comes back of course! I love the music, it is actually creepy, it sounds like something from a Friday the 13th movie,I love it! This is a game that will haunt you for hours!
