  Loved it! This game is hard, but once you play it a while, it will grow on you.

  By Frenchhorn727 | Review Date: Jan 25, 2006 | NES

  This game is so much fun. Yes it is hard, but once you get the hang of it, it is possible to beat it. We begin at Camp Crystal Lake. The goal of the game is basically to finish off Jason once and for all and to stay a... Read Full Review

  Friday the 13th on Nintendo. At least it has some decent stuff.

  By johnthegamegeek | Review Date: Feb 29, 2012 | NES

  Intro: Cool 8-bit opening with the knife going through the eye hole of the Hockey Mask. Graphics: Colorful 8-bit graphics and characters but needs one thing eyes and face. Environment is alright and i like how it sw... Read Full Review

  The OG Survival Horror Game

  By BoogieL0ve20xx | Review Date: Oct 21, 2011 | NES

  Man, when I was a kid, this game was brutal. No one was spared from Jason's killing spree- not the camp counsolers nor the children they watched. I understand "Friday the 13th" has gotten a bad rap, but I have always t... Read Full Review

  This game isn't worth playing in my opinion.

  By DStudios12 | Review Date: Aug 19, 2011 | NES

  I did not enjoy Friday the 13th on the nes. It is another game on the nes that is based off of a film. When you first start it, it doesn't look like it would be too bad, but once you play it, you will probably find flaws... Read Full Review

  Friday The 13th- Not So Unlucky!

  By BoogieL0ve | Review Date: Jun 10, 2010 | NES

  This game freaked me out when I was two years old! Now, I'm 21, and I STILL play this game. "Friday The 13th" on the NES is a game that is either loved or hated. I, thankfully, love this game. I really don't care muc... Read Full Review

  Horror on the NES!

  By CheesecakeMania | Review Date: Jan 22, 2009 | NES

  Straight from the Friday the 13th movies comes the video game. Of course, it was the 80s and the NES was the latest thing, so you couldn't expect much in terms of gameplay. You start off roaming around the camp throwing... Read Full Review

  A classic movie to video game rendition.

  By bigboss2010 | Review Date: Mar 24, 2008 | NES

  This game pits you against the tyrant of horror movie killers, Jason Voorhees. You play through the game exploring Camp Crystal Lake and the whole time trying to avoid Jason. The game wasn't a tremendous leap for its tim... Read Full Review

  The reason Jason was so pissed off in "Jason Lives".

  By SPECETRE | Review Date: Mar 02, 2008 | NES

  Friday The 13th for the NES captures very few things about the great, long running, horror movie slasher series by the same name. Sure the killer's name is Jason Voorhees, the unstoppable hockey masked murderer, who enjo... Read Full Review

  Repetitive, yet often startling.

  By aryoshi | Review Date: Feb 19, 2008 | NES

  Graphics: I wouldn't say much about them. The trees and water and such are nicely done. However, the problem is nobody has a face except Jason and his mother's head. Makes you wonder who really is the creepy one. Soun... Read Full Review
