An Honest Game Trailer for the NES ‘Friday the 13th’ Game
While I have a lot of nostalgia for LJN’s Friday the 13th (that music…), I fully admit that the game was pretty goddamn awful. While I don’t think video games need to unnecessarily hold the hands of the players, it was incredibly confusing. Like, prohibitively so.
In honor of the current Kickstarter for Friday the 13th: The Game, Smosh has put together an “honest” trailer for the Nintendo game that has frustrated and annoyed gamers to this day. It’s pretty funny and I can 100% appreciate where they’re coming from.
Check it out down yonder!
