Friday the 13th for the Nintendo NES (1989) is an action game that places players in the role of a camp counselor at Camp Crystal Lake. The main objective is to survive and prevent the infamous Jason Voorhees from attacking the camp’s children. Players navigate through various locations such as cabins, the woods, and the lake to find and protect the kids scattered around the map.
The game's pace is methodical, requiring careful exploration and strategic planning to manage limited resources while tracking Jason's movements. A unique mechanic involves collecting weapons and items to defend against Jason, who grows stronger and more aggressive over time. Players must also rescue counselors who can assist in the defense, adding a layer of teamwork to the gameplay.
Friday the 13th stands out for its blend of survival and action elements within a horror-themed setting on the NES platform. Its unusual idea of combining resource management with a stalking killer creates a tense atmosphere. The game’s distinctive feature is the gradual escalation of threat, forcing players to balance exploration with defense in a confined environment.
