Beavis And Butt-Head
In the 90's Beavis and Butt-Head were top cartoons with their constant laughter and obsession with "scoring". And naturally the 16-bit era game designers created a Beavis And Butt-Head video game. The graphics in this game are pretty decent for a typical side-scroller. This game is very addictive and will keep you trying to get past the neighborhood or Burger World. I was very impressed by the satisfying music and great version of the theme for the title screen. There is hardly any story or depth besides dodging obstacles and picking up items to gain life which is shown as light bulbs. This game is pretty difficult to get to the obstacles but very fun as well. I do recommend this to any Beavis And Butt-Head fans and you will most likely have a great time playing.......... Come to Butt-Head Uh huh huh huh.

Batman
The NES has always had it's selection of superhero games, but one that I think is just an incredible masterpiece is Batman. Well the game is based on the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The graphics offer a great depiction of Batman, but it's no Xbox360! The music in this game is a nice 8-bit tune, however I think it would be interesting if the actual theme to the movie was used. This game is addictive, but not very much I play it every once and awhile. There is quite a bit of story, you're Batman and you beat up bad guys, plain and simple. This game has quite a bit of depth in it and takes a bit of strategy to know how to defeat certain enemies. This game is pretty difficult, but not so much that you'll throw a fit. Overall this game is a great game, and proves it pays to take a look at the more unknown games on the NES!

E.T- The Extra-Terrestrial
One Holiday season in the mid-eighty's, companies worked long days and nights to get out products, and all the little kids waited for a fat man with a beard to come and leave them gifts. Meanwhile Atari had a new game to present, Stephen Spielberg had got tons of credit for his heart warming movie, and like most game companies they roll out the ideas and created the, at the time, wonderful idea of an E.T game! But, they had about a month to finish it. When the game finally came out a bunch of people bought it and they all either smashed it or asked for a refund, this led Atari to, supposedly bury the remaining game cartridges in the Mexican Desert. And all this ended up in the Great Video Game Crash. Well, that's the history of it and to be honest its not that bad. The graphics aren't very good but, Hey, it's Atari 2600 very early for Xbox 360 graphics! And the sound is very annoying but all you have to do is put the game on mute. This game is not very addictive it's a one-time-play type of game. There is story, you collect all the telephone pieces before the Cop or the Scientist get you. Not very much depth either, just plain and simple. This game is not very difficult, but you won't beat it right away either. I think if E.T didn't fall into holes every step he took and if the Cop and Scientist weren't so hard to get rid of this might have been a pretty successful game!

Friday The 13th
When I think of Friday The 13th I think of a hockey masked killer going on a killing spree in New Jersey country sides, and certainly not lighting fireplaces and fighting weird zombie creatures with rocks! Friday The 13th is one of the NES's Horror Movie sets, and this is one of my least favorite. I played this game to see a late night setting and eerie music and a menacing Jason stalking you, but instead I got a comical setting upbeat music and you stalking a purple Jason. Ok, graphics are regular NES graphics, I mean what else are you asking for, its the 8-bit era. The music would do well for a Sonic the Hedgehog game, but let's not into 16-bit stuff. This game is not addictive, so you'll play it once ( probably to its long amount of game play ). This game has a lot of story, you get the lighter light the fireplace, you repeat for three days, and when the Jason alarm goes off you have 1 minute to save the kids and if you die you start ALL over again ( VERY. IRRITATING. ). This game also has quite a bit of depth. And due to the long game play, and the start from the beginning rule this game is very difficult. If you are thinking on playing this game, I suggest you play another game. I like A Nightmare On Elm Street on NES, I like Halloween on Atari 2600, I like Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Atari 2600, I don't like Friday The 13th on NES!

A Nightmare On Elm Street
The Nightmare On Elm Street movies are one of my favorite horror movie franchises, and the game is a well created game of these movies. This game has a lot of story and depth into it, you basically are collecting all of Freddy Kruger's bones to destroy him once and for all, so this game is obviously based on Dream Warriors. This game is not very addictive as other games are. The sound is a decent tune and when Freddy is nearing you it plays the "1, 2, Freddy's coming for you" song, and finally the Freddy fight music is fast paced and, well 8-bit. Graphics in this game are exceptional for NES an NES game. The difficulty in this game is quite high due to the starting over from the beginning rule. This game is very decent and I think you would enjoy trying it out. One more thing I forgot to add is to look at for hidden "dream cards"- they help you gain more characters in the dream world, and wake yourself up with radios before Freddy gets you!
