Horror Movie Roms 
                       [Nes][Atari][ms-dos]


Halloween [1983] [Atari] 

The player plays as an unnamed babysitter (most likely Laurie Strode), 
who must save children from a knife-wielding enemy, Michael Myers. The player
obtains points in two ways: by rescuing children and bringing them to "safe rooms"
located at both ends of each floor of the house, and by stabbing Michael with the 
knife (if it can be located). The player advances a level either by rescuing five
children or stabbing Michael twice. The killer gets faster with each level 
increase and the game continues until all of the player's three lives are lost.

This game is similar to the concept of the original film, but unlike the film 
it has much blood and gore. For example, when the player is killed, their head 
is replaced with blood streaming out of the severed neck.

Friday The 13th [1989] [NES]

Based on the popular movie franchise, Friday the 13th casts you as one of six camp
counselors (three girls or three boys) at the infamous Camp Crystal Lake, and 
you are tasked with destroying Jason Voorhees once and for all.
To get to Jason, you must run around a camp, killing zombie ghouls and collecting
weapons, until you hear an alarm sound. When that alarm goes off, 
it means Jason has entered a cabin and you must find him.

To save time, you can switch between all six counselors, depending on where you are.
Once you enter the house that Jason is in, the game switches to a 3D-esque maze in 
which you have to hurt Jason with the items you collected. Once he's been damaged 
enough, he'll run away, only to sound another alarm later and enter another house.
