Halloween for the Atari 2600

Halloween for the Atari 2600 Played on Stella emulator for Atari 2600 ROMS.

Everyone has probably seen a Halloween film in their life time. The series made famous in 1978 by John Carpenter and Debra Hill is still going strong today, 27 years later. But I don't think a lot of people, myself included, knew there was game based upon the original Halloween for the Atari 2600!

Gameplay: You play Laurie Strode as she to leads the kids to safety and tries not to have her own head cut off (which happens if Michael gets to her). Along the way, you can find knifes laying around that you can use to "injure" Michael and make him leave you alone for a short time. The game is very simple to play (it's a Atari 2600 game, after all) You explore the Doyle house trying to avoid Michael, save the kids, and to find knifes to fend Michael off. Very simple, very easy. I thought the fact that it is so simple made it even more fun to play.

How the hell do I start this?

Sorry 'bout the cursing, but I've been trying to do this for a while.

[NML32]

Press either the Reset button or F1.

Use the arrow keys to move and the Space bar as the action button.

Also what i'd like to know is why they're ok with showing decapitated teenagers and kids, but there's no gore when you stab the guy... Messed up IMO...

[PoisonRainVornado]

Absolutely NO chance something like this would be remade today(by which i mean a babysitter running around a house trying to keep small children from being hacked apart by a masked psycho...)

A true classic. I wonder what the world record is for this game points wise?
