Ray's Retro Review - A Nightmare On Elm Street (NES)

[roadrulesstar]

im sorry but the video games made from movies sucked aka E.T FRIDAY THE 13TH

nightmare on elm street was ok i kinda liked it :D

[Alheis22]

It's hard to believe, even with a frustrating game such as this that whoever is playing is just terrible. The fact that it took them so long long to figure out that obtaining all Freddy's bones is what is needed to enter the next room was beyond frustrating.

Also the game is remarkably easy for the first 5 stages, only becoming difficult when one reaches Freddy's House.

lol i used 2 love dis! u get the power to turn into a ninja later on ..me an my bro used to be like "Yooo i got the ninja power" .......kids

[Sig067]

por que siempre tienen que hablar al jugar -.-'''

[adamheart85]

It's really not THAT hard. This guy is just REALLY bad at the game. Sorry to bash, I enjoyed the video and commentary, but Christ, it was frustrating watching the playing.

[neddx]

I think turning into an angel kills the atmosphere. I also think its weird how there are zombies in the real world. Freddie's attacking kids in their dreams and in other there are already zombies.

[ChaosLord56]

How to enter these fuckin buldings! I try on every posible combination and no shit! I must to know some combination or what? Up no, down no, select no, so how?!

[GAMEPRODELTA]

The first three houses are entered in a random order, after that the levels go in the order of the Junk Yard, the cemetary, Freddy's house, and then the high school.

[jasongamino]

FYI you do get to see Freddy in this game. You fight different incarnations of him until you get further into the game.

Actually early on in d planned to development they planned to have the played play as Freddy.

Good review my man

[ZippoReviews]

ya the last boss is freddy himself

[czerwonegoooooooogle]

yeah, he stole your continues.

[RunandGunPictures]

You have to collect all the bones before you can progress in the level (go down the hole).

[gluserty]

it seems that this game engine is similar to castlevania. yet, it lacked castlevania gameplay!

[pablow2310]

haha games dont have engines

[gluserty]

of course games have engines, otherwise the game wouldn't run.

[pablow2310]

i was being sarcastic by saying engines like car engines

[gluserty]

i considered the possure. good u were being funny, but i wasn't quite sure. good one, i was stumped when i revisited this review.

[gluserty]

i meant possibility

[sirgamenut]

you have to collect all bones in the level if go in the hole see avgn review of A Nightmare On Elm Street.

[BlackMan711]

Do you guys know what LJN stands for?

[Highretrogameblood89]

Yes.

It stands for Lewis J Norman.

[Highretrogameblood89]

LJN sucks, sorry but it's true.

Tell me one game...just ONE game made by LJN which is good!

Have fun finding such a game...

[Highretrogameblood89]

Oh and good review by the way ;D

[Spholx2]

Lol, I looked at their wikipedia page to see if there were any good games, and I found out that many of their games were reviewed by AVGN. And, no, there were no good games.

[Highretrogameblood89]

Haha, I was also just on Wikipedia's page. xD

Where I read "They created many toy lines and low quality video games that were based on popular movies, television shows, and celebrities." I was LMFAO. xD

[NewGenGamers]

WWF Raw and the other wrestling games weren't BAD, and the best wrestling games up to that time, so I'll give them that one. Otherwise their games were like electronic poison. -Ron

[Highretrogameblood89]

Okay, I haven't played those games because I am not someone likes wrestling games.

But LJN is still one of the worst if not the worst game developers ever.

[Bistol13]

Actuly those where made buy aclaim

[NewGenGamers]

Acclaim and LJN were the same company. This happened alot during the NES days because Nintendo had a policy for developers that they could only publish 5 titles per year. In response to this alot of the major publishers made secondary studios, Acclaim's was LJN. -Ray

[ghostbuster56]

they made spiderman maximum carnage which is good and spiderman and venom seperation anxiety

[gamefreak355]

@Highretrogameblood89

this wasnt that bad

it was actually good

[ripley4O77]

@Highretrogameblood89 Warlock, Maximum carnage, Alien 3 (even though it was far far away from the movie the game itself wasn't bad by default)

That's 3 already for ya.

@Ray, I just came across this by accident but LJN wasn't the same as Acclaim, it was simply taken over by them and afterwards acclaim made it as such that LJN would primairily focus on games...

Heheh, a year later, I know, what do you care...
