Apologies of the audio is a little off; my trusty headset died and I'm trying to get a more professional replacement working. At a family birthday. Will add a real preview image later.
If you're ever interested in getting your NES working well again (assuming it's not a problem with the hardware/motherboard itself), you should check out this modification for the NES called The Blinking Light Win. It's a replacement for the 72 pin connector that the game cartridge plugs into to work. There exist replacements for the standard connector but this modification replaces the original loading mechanism inside the console so that it's a straight load and thus more reliable. I've had one on my NES for the past 3 years and my games work first time every time. All you'd need to do is partially disassemble the NES to swap parts but it's not too hard and there's tutorials on TH-cam that show what to do as well. Again this is if you're interested in getting that NES working properly again, you can also just get a different one or just emulate the games through clone systems like the one in the video.
Is Jason hitting a body in a bag with another body in a bag supposed to be scary? Never bothered with these movies but that made me actually laugh Thanks for the review lad, it was quite refreshing
As the person who created The Complete Friday the 13th NES Information and Strategy Guide (link in a video on my channel), I love to see people picking up and playing this game - even if they ultimately end up not liking it. Either way, I had a great time watching your video and thought it was really funny and well done! 😁
My man, the comedy is ON POINT with this review. Btw love the Jojo reference, and genuinely did not know there were 3 levels.. I guess I’ve never seen anyone get past the first level until now ^^;
Give the online multiplayer Friday the 13th one thing: They included the NES Jason design as an alternate costume, complete with a chiptune track for when he's nearby a counselor.
From the same developers that would later create a little known game franchise called the Shin Megami Tensei series (and some spin off series called Persona)
dragonstormx Yeah Atlus were one of the many developers that were known to be the ones that have made some of the games for LJN through research. This, along with T&C Surfing, The Karate Kid, and Gotcha (though made from one of Atlus' subsidiaries) were developed by them.
@@lightspeedmurphy7546 How much of the bad games published by LJN was their fault anyways? They didn't develop them, but we have seen with EA and Activision that a bad publisher can screw up games by a good developer.
@@dragonstormx I'm not too sure in all honesty. LJN would hire any developer to make a game for them based off any random license that they would grab during NES days but would not label their names in the game. But thanks to people like TCRF, they've managed to figure out many devs who made those games. From Atlus, to Rare, Beam Software, and so on.
I'm actually having a marathon of the series right now. Been watching Friday the 13th since I was two years old and I still love most of them to this day. My personal favorites are Part 4, Part 6, Jason X (just as a guily pleasure), and the 2009 remake.
Like many people, I heard of this game from AVGN, I was a teen at the time found it amazing. Although even then , I was really unimpressed with this. I did find the Freddy's Game way more faithful to the movies. As a fan of the series I really do appreciate you added in the fun facts from the series. I should say the Pamala head boss is a indirect reference to a cut scene from part 2 where she opened her eye(s) so that context would go over a few people's heads Also, I do prefer this over the much requested "Shadow man" just me though but a look back as far as This is a refreshing change of pace. I did like to think this game was a reference to movies 2-4 since in total. Jason "dies" 3 times Also, when is the plushes and Bionicles gonna get a self contained review? Just saying the white one ( forgot his name ) is a favorite of mine in your series
Always love your reviews...no matter how bad the game is. 😀 Hey, perhaps you could review Winback covert operations on the n64 sometime. It's a difficult, but good cover shooter (and supposedly the 1st cover based shooter) It also is one of the first games to have a laser sight for aiming weapons. Would love for you to review it sometime. I like the game, but i can understand why it would be pretty challenging at times
@@jeremyallen5974 Not really. People just crap on it because they're bad at it and don't give it a chance lol. Or the fact that it doesn't really follow the movies well, but that isn't the point. It's just a game where Jason Vorhees is running amuck and your job is to defeat him. It's not supposed to be easy, but it's easy enough to do in under 3 minutes, which is around where my current personal best is. And because so many people crapped on it back in the day, there was no Nintendo Power tips or anything on it. There could've been a whole lot to cover, instead, I was the one who figured out Jason's patterns and therefore allowed a speedrun community to grow in this game.
Some trivia of this game: it was second of four LJN-published games to be developed by Atlus (yes, the same Atlus behind the Megami Tensei series). The other three titles were The Karate Kid, Major League Baseball, and NFL.
The flashlight is actually completely pointless because you can find the entrance to Pamela’s room by just looking at the rocks on the floor. The rocks in front of the spot where the door is are colored slightly differently (as seen at 14:10 just behind Mark) so just stand in front of them and press up on the d-pad to go through the door. Then repeat the process until you reach Pamela. This technique makes fighting Pamela by far the easiet way to get the special weapons in the game. Killing 60 zombies for a machete takes a long time and while you’re trying to do it, Jason will continue to kill counselors and kids. However, as far as I know, Jason never attacks when you’re in the caves, therefore your counselors are safe while you fight Pamela. I hope that helps. Also, on days 2 and 3 she drops better items like a sweater that reduces how much damage you take. Those items can’t be acquired any other way, that I know of at least.
Hey Jadow. I haven't done this in a while, but I have a suggestion: If you want to, I'd suggest looking at No Straight Roads. It's a music based game where you play as an indie rock band trying to bring down an EDM empire. It has the gimmick where the bosses attacks are tied to the beat of the boss theme (though you can still move freely). I will warn you, the English dub is... not spectacular, but there is a charm to it.
If it's alright, can I recommend reviewing The Monkey King: Hero is Back? It's a $10 game that's around 5 to 6 hours long, but overal has a pretty good design and visuals. The main protagonist, Sun Wukong, is also a character from one of China's most famous novels, Journey to the West. The game was also an adaptation of an animated movie of the same name starring Jackie Chan.
A lot of people tend to forget that the AVGN is just a character and part of the characterization is that he sucks at games and blames it on the game rather than his own suckage, something that a lot of people do for real. Also if I recall James Rolfe had stated before that the AVGN videos aren't meant to be taken as reviews, this is specially true in newer episodes where the focus isn't on the game but more on the Nerd.
@@elin111 Well yeah i know james tends to exagerate when he's on his AVGN persona especially on his older videos, but he's pretty much right about all the flaws of Friday The 13th (and pretty much of most of LJN for that matter)
@@ParadoxHilda97 I don't have a problem with AVGN exaggerating problems in the games he plays, the issue comes when people think The Nerd and Rolfe are the same person and he's not acting.
Since you like Friday the 13th movies and since Halloween is approaching next month. Can you reviews of the original Splatterhouse trilogy and the Splatterhouse (2010) video game. You think you can get play the arcade original of Splatterhouse on the Namco Museum (2017). The main character Rick make you think playing as the infamous Jason.
I'd recommend pacnsacdave's three rom hacks of this game, not only do two of them let you play as Jason or Freddy, but upgrades and fireplace lighting progress are shared among all characters.
oh, i didnt know about it, i always skip them because of "one more stupid tasteless parody", but if you are right and fireplaces progress is shared to all - it could be interesting idea, but my stratigic mind thinks that it allows you to get only ONE torch, but usually you can get another one... and i dont know what you mean by "upgrades", if it is "one got torch and everybody has it too" - it is horrible
I just got Freddy Versus Jason yesterday at V-Stock's Labor Day sale. I'll probably watch it tomorrow. I watched the original and remake Nightmare on Elm Street films and really likes them. I'm very curious to try the rest of the series; I've just heard that films 4-6 are awful.
If you like this game, you should play the fan game Friday The 13th: Return to Camp Blood. It’s an NES rom. You can see it in action on my most recent video with a link to its itch page to download.
I think part 6 is probably my favorite out of the bunch tbh. It's one of the prime example of dump campy 80s slasher flicks and it's just great fun to watch
The only one I would actually say tried to be a horror film and not just roller coaster Entertainment, was the first one. To be honest, in terms of quality, the first one is the best film in the franchise. Now here's a question for you Jadow, who's the better slasher villain, Freddy or Jason?
Although all of your points are valid and the game is certainly unfair, I can tell the developers really tried their best with this game. The game is surprisingly accurate to the source material, which is something you didn’t usually get in a liscenced game at the time (and we still don’t always get that in games today). The counselors are vastly outmatched by Jason and must use teamwork to stop him, the overworld map for camp Crystal Lake is very detailed, the woods and caves are easy to get lost in without a map, and the dark creepy cabins you have to wander around in search of Jason can be very tense especially when he jumpscares you! But the biggest piece of evidence that shows how much the devs cares about the game is Jason’s mom showing up in the caves. That part was ripped straight from Friday the 13th part 2, and in the original script, her head was going to come alive and attack the counselors just like it does in the game! Plus, you get Pamela’s sweater from beating her and use it against Jason just like they did in the movie! Clearly the developers were fans of the series and did their best with what they had to work with, so for that, I appreciate it. I totally understand if you don’t like it (and I don’t really like it that much myself) but I find it fun to play every now and then for laughs! Great review Jadow! I love all your videos!
That's the thing I tried to acknowledge at the end: it's clear that effort went into the game, they generally followed the movie and they were trying something new- the game's design is just too flawed to be a good game. And thanks!
@Darklordjadow1 You’re welcome! I think someone should give this game concept another try now that we have better hardware to work with. A singleplayer Friday the 13th game could be really awesome if it was done right.
What I don't get is, there are hundreds of NES and Famicom games. And each game is a few hundred kilobytes at the most. So even some 5 + years ago, they could easily fit in some 500, 600 or even 800 NES games onto a device and actually not lie about how many games they have. But they chose....not to for some reason.
Easier to duplicate a few hundred games repeatedly than add six hundred individual games to the console, bootlegers always take the laziest route possible.
Decent game actually. It did a few clever things like puzzles, secrets, and weapons. I liked the game, and managed to beat it as a kid back in the day. If course it took countless hours. Nowadays who has the time? So by walkthroughs or speedruns, the game can be beaten rather quickly.
I don't hate the online multiplayer Friday the 13th game. I hate ALL online multiplayer. (Or just about all- I may need to try playing Yu-Gi-Oh online)
@@Darklordjadow1 Covid makes playing physical card games harder for obvious reasons so I decided to make an exception and try it online a little bit, it's not the worst thing ever as long as you avoid the competitive players. It's not ideal but the other alternative is using a webcam pointed at your table and that's cumbersome and lagging is rampant, plus you know for sure your opponent will be cheating with cards hidden behind their table.
I took out full health day 3 Jason with a rock to the death defending the kids since I intentionally killed off the other 5 counselors for this specific challenge. Took a long time, but it can be done. I prefer to fight him outside on day 3 though. It's a lot faster to defeat him.
This game was created by the same company who made most of the Megami Shin Tensei games along with it's spin offs including the Persona series. Yes, the company that made Persona 5 made this game.
Trust me, I own the online multiplayer version of Friday the 13th. Games kinda dead, since the developers got a cease and desist from the actual maker of the movies and that means no new updates, but if you play offline you get to play a solo campaign.
I actually liked the game as a kid, and still kinda do. And on topic of Robocop 4. consider yourself lucky you didn't played Terminator 3 and 4 on NES.
I've only seen part of the first movie and I hated it. If you hear me screaming in terror while I'm in the woods, come rescue me. If the scream is suddenly cut off, don't. The characters in the movie get it backwards.
Not the first time something MLP related showed up. In his "Daikatana review part 2" video, he made a mention to Twilight Sparkle and in his "Shamu's Deep Sea Adventures" video, he makes an anthropomorphic pony joke.
There are actually four Robocop games on NES. You're missing Robocop VS The Terminator. It never came out, but a finished yet unreleased game is nothing bootleggers can't get their hands on.
This was one of the only games that got me to jump back from time to time. I have beaten it a few times without glitches (to my knowledge), but it's just terrible. LOL!
That's only what happens in the movies released after the game. In Part 2 he gets a machete buried in his shoulder down to where his lung would about be- and survives. Part 3 (the day after part 2) he's hanged and takes an axe to the forehead- and survives Part 4 (the day after part 3) his hand is split in half, he takes a machete to the eye, and he's hacked to bits- and THAT finally kills him. Part 6 he's struck by lightning and revived as a zombie, only to end up chained to a rock at the bottom of the lake and taking a running propeller to the face Part 7 he's half skeletal and fights a psychic lady that sets him on fire and explodes a house on him.
@@Darklordjadow1 and the late Steve Dash (part 2's masked Jason actor) suffered an injury while filming the scene where Ginny hits Jason with the machete after knocking the pickaxe out of his hands; Amy Steel missed the pickaxe and hit Steve on his middle finger, which meant he had to go to the emergency room with a prop machete sticking out of his shoulder, leading to a reaction of "oh my God!" from the staff, and Steve having to explain his finger was what needed attention instead.
A. If you haven't seen them yet, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies have some really great heights. The first one is odd considering the rest of the franchise but still has chilling deaths. The second is...weird (may or may not be a metaphor for being gay. I say not because I don't feel like Freddy possession is a good metaphor AT ALL) but it's still scary albeit in a different way. Dream Warriors is probably the best one so far and started the series tradition of really creative deaths and Freddy's jokes contain a fuckton of malice and sadism that he comes across like a psychotic monster playing with his prey. Dream Master I hear got fucked by a writer strike but it's still got really good deaths and Freddy's still carrying his malice and sadism. Dream Child is...okay, it's not too good partially because it was influenced by the actress having a child and then pushing some pro-life stuff in a series with it's monster being born from EXTENSIVE rape. Deaths aside from the first and second aren't that good. Freddy's Dead has the power glove. You might have fun with that one (and one death that has what I assume is Freddy's O face.) At this point, Freddy's a bloody Bugs Bunny. New Nightmare was...i don't even know how to describe it. Extremely experimental I guess. Better than the last three definitely even if a five clawed glove looks stupid. And Freddy vs. Jason isn't very scary and has dated CGI....but I think it has surprisingly good action that sells how powerful both monsters are. Finally- Stay the fuck away from the remake.
Oh and the game was also published by Atlus. Dunno who they are? Look up 'Shin Megami Tensei' or better yet, it's spinoff 'Persona'. ... yes, the Persona guys PUBLISHED THIS. Not really much of an excuse either, as the SMT franchise is older than this game.
"But, Jadow~! AVGN already covered this game, even if 'twas a long-ass time ago! Therefore, your opinion on the game is superfluous and redundant!" If you can't tell, I'm kidding. You gonna chain this with "A Nightmare on Elm Street" for NES?
I had a line referencing that in the script followed by a retort of "so? If I was only allowed to talk about things that non big Youtibers had covered, this channel would melt down to that Rendel review that nobody watched really quickly." I hadn't planned on doing Nightmare on Elm Street NES, but it sounds like I have to now. It's not on my bootleg system, but hopefully I can get the old NES working.
@@Darklordjadow1 To wit, I reinstate that I was merely joking, my good man. Someone else, however, could be serious whereas I was not. I can't wait to see it. IMO, the music in THAT game is actually pretty kick-ass as opposed to this one, esp. the hub world music.
Lol at the bootleg names..... Mortal Combat 4 Snow Bros Mario 14...? Jason is a son of a bitch when encountered for the beat up, Mike Tyson he is not. Mike was somewhat fair. And ah....I see you found the infamous screen I mentioned to you with the knife in the guys head! No shits were given back then folks. Nope. :)

Kirby Voorhees gave me a laugh
Just review Brian dead 13 it's a very good interesting 2d hand made cartoon you'll love it
Jadow watches JoJo? Nice
I would rather watch Jason Goes To Hell than play this game. Plus, its my third favourite Friday the 13th film.
The only one I would actually say tried to be a horror film and not just roller coaster Entertainment, was the first one. To be honest, in terms of quality, the first one is the best film in the franchise. Now here's a question for you Jadow, who's the better slasher villain, Freddy or Jason?
I see those bootleg NES' in like, every mall I go to.
Although all of your points are valid and the game is certainly unfair, I can tell the developers really tried their best with this game. The game is surprisingly accurate to the source material, which is something you didn’t usually get in a liscenced game at the time (and we still don’t always get that in games today). The counselors are vastly outmatched by Jason and must use teamwork to stop him, the overworld map for camp Crystal Lake is very detailed, the woods and caves are easy to get lost in without a map, and the dark creepy cabins you have to wander around in search of Jason can be very tense especially when he jumpscares you! But the biggest piece of evidence that shows how much the devs cares about the game is Jason’s mom showing up in the caves. That part was ripped straight from Friday the 13th part 2, and in the original script, her head was going to come alive and attack the counselors just like it does in the game! Plus, you get Pamela’s sweater from beating her and use it against Jason just like they did in the movie! Clearly the developers were fans of the series and did their best with what they had to work with, so for that, I appreciate it. I totally understand if you don’t like it (and I don’t really like it that much myself) but I find it fun to play every now and then for laughs! Great review Jadow! I love all your videos!
That's the thing I tried to acknowledge at the end: it's clear that effort went into the game, they generally followed the movie and they were trying something new- the game's design is just too flawed to be a good game.
And thanks!
@Darklordjadow1 You’re welcome! I think someone should give this game concept another try now that we have better hardware to work with. A singleplayer Friday the 13th game could be really awesome if it was done right.
What I don't get is, there are hundreds of NES and Famicom games. And each game is a few hundred kilobytes at the most. So even some 5 + years ago, they could easily fit in some 500, 600 or even 800 NES games onto a device and actually not lie about how many games they have. But they chose....not to for some reason.
Easier to duplicate a few hundred games repeatedly than add six hundred individual games to the console, bootlegers always take the laziest route possible.
Decent game actually. It did a few clever things like puzzles, secrets, and weapons. I liked the game, and managed to beat it as a kid back in the day. If course it took countless hours. Nowadays who has the time? So by walkthroughs or speedruns, the game can be beaten rather quickly.
today i have "not-killed" jason one time (1of3), i was able to handle fights, but on the second day he starts to spam "double jab", how you survived?
Why do you hate the online multiplayer Friday the 13th game?
I don't hate the online multiplayer Friday the 13th game.
I hate ALL online multiplayer. (Or just about all- I may need to try playing Yu-Gi-Oh online)
@@Darklordjadow1 Covid makes playing physical card games harder for obvious reasons so I decided to make an exception and try it online a little bit, it's not the worst thing ever as long as you avoid the competitive players.
It's not ideal but the other alternative is using a webcam pointed at your table and that's cumbersome and lagging is rampant, plus you know for sure your opponent will be cheating with cards hidden behind their table.
0:45 You Do That!?! can we ever see them?
So Jason is actually purple
Can't believe that this game was developed by Atlus of all companies.
why did they make the game so hard?
I took out full health day 3 Jason with a rock to the death defending the kids since I intentionally killed off the other 5 counselors for this specific challenge. Took a long time, but it can be done. I prefer to fight him outside on day 3 though. It's a lot faster to defeat him.
seems like the only feasible way to beat the game is to get the damage reduction, and to just essentially trap him outside
I'll bet that 4th robocop game is the canceled nes version of robocop vs terminator.
This game was created by the same company who made most of the Megami Shin Tensei games along with it's spin offs including the Persona series. Yes, the company that made Persona 5 made this game.
why not review braindead 13 ps1?
I argee with him too why not review branded 13 PS1?
Yes!
He's stated several times that he doesn't own a PS1 so PS1 games are not an option for reviews.
Trust me, I own the online multiplayer version of Friday the 13th. Games kinda dead, since the developers got a cease and desist from the actual maker of the movies and that means no new updates, but if you play offline you get to play a solo campaign.
I love Jason X.
One of my favorite bad films.
I actually liked the game as a kid, and still kinda do. And on topic of Robocop 4. consider yourself lucky you didn't played Terminator 3 and 4 on NES.
Review Kid Icarus
maybe a friday the 13th game should have you play AS Jason, seriously it'd kinda be like that game Naughty Bear, in how it plays
There was a *very* janky and broken Friday the 13th fangame back in 2007 that tried something like that, like, a year before Naughty Bear came out.
Why you dont want to play the newest friday the 13th game?
I just don't have a particular fondness for online multiplayer.
I wonder if he's actually watched JoJo.
The C64 game was pretty good for its time.
I know a horror game that has an amazing story it's called rule of rose I think you should emulate the game for Halloween next year
some kind of silent hill? what is amazing?
I've only seen part of the first movie and I hated it. If you hear me screaming in terror while I'm in the woods, come rescue me. If the scream is suddenly cut off, don't. The characters in the movie get it backwards.
I see you met ljn
*Sees the rarity plush* i didnt know you where a MLP fan
Not the first time something MLP related showed up. In his "Daikatana review part 2" video, he made a mention to Twilight Sparkle and in his "Shamu's Deep Sea Adventures" video, he makes an anthropomorphic pony joke.
Review inFAMOUS next
There are actually four Robocop games on NES. You're missing Robocop VS The Terminator. It never came out, but a finished yet unreleased game is nothing bootleggers can't get their hands on.
Realistically jump over the wolves. xD
I like Jason X.
This was one of the only games that got me to jump back from time to time. I have beaten it a few times without glitches (to my knowledge), but it's just terrible. LOL!
Friday The 13th is the worst NES Game I've ever played
Do Knack 2
Please?
21:06 I never watched any of those movies but seems like Jason has to deal with a lot of shit in the later movies.
That's only what happens in the movies released after the game.
In Part 2 he gets a machete buried in his shoulder down to where his lung would about be- and survives.
Part 3 (the day after part 2) he's hanged and takes an axe to the forehead- and survives
Part 4 (the day after part 3) his hand is split in half, he takes a machete to the eye, and he's hacked to bits- and THAT finally kills him.
Part 6 he's struck by lightning and revived as a zombie, only to end up chained to a rock at the bottom of the lake and taking a running propeller to the face
Part 7 he's half skeletal and fights a psychic lady that sets him on fire and explodes a house on him.
@@Darklordjadow1 So he has to deal with a lot of shit.
@@Darklordjadow1 and the late Steve Dash (part 2's masked Jason actor) suffered an injury while filming the scene where Ginny hits Jason with the machete after knocking the pickaxe out of his hands; Amy Steel missed the pickaxe and hit Steve on his middle finger, which meant he had to go to the emergency room with a prop machete sticking out of his shoulder, leading to a reaction of "oh my God!" from the staff, and Steve having to explain his finger was what needed attention instead.
Cabin by the lake is almost as dumb as ramps can be used as ramps.
Or that bubbles of air are air bubbles.
Oh yeah. This is the game NC17Productions reviewed. This review is obviously better than his.
Maybe Jason is just lonely.
All the Friday movies are pretty dumb ngl.
But they’re fun.
Friday the 13th movies, sure they're dumb. Friday movies on the other hand are comedy gold.
A. If you haven't seen them yet, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies have some really great heights. The first one is odd considering the rest of the franchise but still has chilling deaths. The second is...weird (may or may not be a metaphor for being gay. I say not because I don't feel like Freddy possession is a good metaphor AT ALL) but it's still scary albeit in a different way.
Dream Warriors is probably the best one so far and started the series tradition of really creative deaths and Freddy's jokes contain a fuckton of malice and sadism that he comes across like a psychotic monster playing with his prey.
Dream Master I hear got fucked by a writer strike but it's still got really good deaths and Freddy's still carrying his malice and sadism.
Dream Child is...okay, it's not too good partially because it was influenced by the actress having a child and then pushing some pro-life stuff in a series with it's monster being born from EXTENSIVE rape. Deaths aside from the first and second aren't that good.
Freddy's Dead has the power glove. You might have fun with that one (and one death that has what I assume is Freddy's O face.) At this point, Freddy's a bloody Bugs Bunny.
New Nightmare was...i don't even know how to describe it. Extremely experimental I guess. Better than the last three definitely even if a five clawed glove looks stupid.
And Freddy vs. Jason isn't very scary and has dated CGI....but I think it has surprisingly good action that sells how powerful both monsters are.
Finally- Stay the fuck away from the remake.
Oh and the game was also published by Atlus. Dunno who they are? Look up 'Shin Megami Tensei' or better yet, it's spinoff 'Persona'.
... yes, the Persona guys PUBLISHED THIS. Not really much of an excuse either, as the SMT franchise is older than this game.
"But, Jadow~! AVGN already covered this game, even if 'twas a long-ass time ago! Therefore, your opinion on the game is superfluous and redundant!" If you can't tell, I'm kidding. You gonna chain this with "A Nightmare on Elm Street" for NES?
I had a line referencing that in the script followed by a retort of "so? If I was only allowed to talk about things that non big Youtibers had covered, this channel would melt down to that Rendel review that nobody watched really quickly."
I hadn't planned on doing Nightmare on Elm Street NES, but it sounds like I have to now. It's not on my bootleg system, but hopefully I can get the old NES working.
People tend to forget that AVGN videos tend to be more about hyperbolic comedy than actually reviewing the game.
@@Darklordjadow1 To wit, I reinstate that I was merely joking, my good man. Someone else, however, could be serious whereas I was not.
I can't wait to see it. IMO, the music in THAT game is actually pretty kick-ass as opposed to this one, esp. the hub world music.
@@Feltzer342 Well that was before I looked it up on ebay. Working NOES carts run at least 50 bucks a pop!
@@Darklordjadow1 Hmm... what about emulators, then, if ANOES carts are that expensive? Or, is that not an option?
Jason wouldn't look iconic if he had a modern goalie mask.
Friday the 13th isn't NES hard. It's NES dumb.
Aw. you're a Rarity fan. I'm more a Pinkie Pie/Luna fan.
10:08-18:20
Lol at the bootleg names.....
Mortal Combat 4
Snow Bros
Mario 14...?
Jason is a son of a bitch when encountered for the beat up, Mike Tyson he is not. Mike was somewhat fair.
And ah....I see you found the infamous screen I mentioned to you with the knife in the guys head!
No shits were given back then folks. Nope. :)
