Halloween is considered one of the first survival horror games, but there's nothing really brilliant about this game.
There isn't much to say about Halloween, as it is such an old game, there wasn't really a story and there was no dialouge. You play as a babysitter who is minding numerous amounts of children at a very colourful house. Your objective is to guide the kids to either side of the house, where it is apparantly safe. Unfortunately, Michael comes along to make that trip a lot harder. Or so you would think. In the game Michael is smaller, thinner and slower than yourself, so unless your either terrible at playing games or just don't want to do it properly, you won't have any problem escaping his grasp. Every time you safely reach a side of the house with a child, you will earn points that weirdly don't mean anything. The only really amusing thing about this game is the deaths. Well, being honest there only is one possible death. And that death is actually pretty good! It's decapitation, and according to rumours, Halloween was the first game to use decaptitation.
There isn't anything exciting about Halloween. It's repetitive, boring and the music is plain terrible. I don't reccommend this and I think in a few ways it is a waste of money.
