    I love how Frank is giving a second chance at life and he just goes back to drinking beer and watching Ancient Aliens! I swear that would be me I would go back to watching American hauntings and drinking miller lite!

    I picked this game up over the summer and struggled with it, primarily because I had no clue what was going on. I'm glad that you covered this because I now have a better understanding of the game & how it works-- plus I learned some things that I didn't know about the game in general.
    Thanks for this!

      @@MajinCCBThePrince I wish there were walk-throughs when I was a kid. There were more than a few games we just couldn't figure out what to do, tried everything we could think of, then gave up. A good example is Flipull for Gameboy (and you bet we lost the instructions).

      @@scramblesthedeathdealer true, but it's to the point these days that it's easy to not even bother trying to figure out a puzzle, just look it up. Kinda ruins alot of games, it's ok not being able to beat a game.

      It's all about having fun. Like the name of the NES, Nintendo *Entertainment* System. Everyone has their own idea of what is fun, and it's only a competition if you enter one. I'm not very good at most games, but they let me take a quick break from the stress of life, maybe a good hit of nostalgia. 😊

    This game is a perfect example of what we gamers are thinking of when we reminisce of the first decade and a half of the console era...the 80's and early to mid 90's. We remember and appreciate just how good, fun to play and entertaining the ingenuity of simple gameplay could be.

    I love this this game! I remember, though the scares being really jarring for how explicit they were. You'd have some scares that'd be laughed out a children's haunted house ride at a cheap fair, to shit like a woman peeling her own skin off, the Buzz saw hacking people up, and then the car trunk full of one of the Sardini's body parts.

      I was JUST saying that same exact thing to Jesus at the Prosecutors Office yesterday! It’s completely understandable that they went to sports. But now that they make more money of their yearly FIFA game (the virtual cards) EA should make amends for their decades of evilness bestowed upon us all!!!
      Make games like Poulterguy! Or even Skitchin’! Road Rash, Jungle Strike, Mutant League Football, Populous, oh SHIIIIIT!!! GENERAL CHAOS!!!!! I friggin LOVED THAT GAME!!!
      EA could at least try to atone for their many MANY sins. They’re still going to hell no matter what. But maybe they could move up from the 7th layer to the 6th…..
      Maybe?

      I shown my friend that Pat the NES Punk replied to me and tried to tell the full truth. I think I said something like
      "Oh me and Pat? Yeah we are best buds, we communicate online all the time. I'm going to his brother's wedding, I'm best man with Pat you know. Yeah things are getting pretty serious. Pat and I even caught the bouquet together at the wedding. I dunno what that means but obviously no homo."
      That was pretty much accurate wasn't it? No homo. Love you man.
      ...no homo...

    @LorenHelgeson 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was a game I got countless hours of fun out of as a kid. The one big gripe I had was that because the Sardinis tend to run back and forth between a set number of rooms, your chances of entering some of the more interesting rooms (like the garage in the first house) are very limited.
    That end boss fight is a complete joke, too. Accuracy is not one of this game's strongest points, and you somehow need to be spot-on with your shots.
