You and your friends are dead. Game over. 37 years later, 8-bit Jason Voorhees is back with a few more bits thanks to a fan-made remake of the cult classic Friday the 13th NES game built from the ground up for Game Boy Color.
I have a love hate relationship with NES Friday the 13th. It's objectively bad, but it's by far my favorite of developer LJN's many retro atrocities. That might be because it's about Jason Voorhees, my favorite horror slasher, but I also genuinely enjoy its mood and tone and think its jump scares were innovative for the time. I'd even say I'm weirdly protective of the game, which is why I'm cautiously optimistic about Zeichi Games' Game Boy Color fan remake.
