  Friday the 13th (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friday the 13th is a 1980 slasher film directed by Sean S. Cunningham and written by Victor Miller, admittedly made to cash in on the success of Halloween, the film's theme was to take "mom and apple pie and turn it on its head."
Although the film was poorly received by most, if not all, mainstream film critics, it became one of the most popular slasher films in history.
They were warned...They are doomed...And on Friday the 13th, nothing will save them.

 Friday the 13th: Quality vs. Jason
Unfortunately this video game avoids any kind of fun premise and goes straight for the anguished feeling you see when someone is getting the shit beaten out of them in the parking lot.
Now Friday the 13th is in the same old game drawer with the "Three Stooges," "Ghostbusters," and "Knight Rider"...precious childhood memories neatly crushed in a grey plastic cartridge.
This game should've included a fully controllable Jason and a camp full of social deviants, like sassy guys in T-shirts with numbers on them (like that was ever cool) and people randomly having sex in normal places where people have sex, like in abandoned shacks in the middle of the woods or in stalled cars.

Paramount’s release of “Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan” gives fans of modern slasher films the opportunity to see the first eight “Friday the 13th” films in their fully restored gore.
Called “Friday Artifacts and Collectibles,” this featurette takes a look at the movie props and various collectibles from the franchise, waving them in the air almost in a “don’t you wish you had this” manner.
“Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan” is missing a few films (“Jason Goes to Hell,” “Jason X” and “Freddy vs. Jason”), but with the “classics” intact and the fifth disk of bonuses, the absence is hardly noticeable.

 The Video Game Critic's NES Reviews F-L
Friday the 13th puts you in the middle of Camp Crystal Lake, where you attempt to save children from Jason.
Periodically the game alerts that "you've hit something", and then it switches to a "diver screen" where you character is tossed into the water under the boat.
In other versions of the game, jumping under the hoop increased your chances of pulling down a rebound, but here the ball bounces far off the rim, so you'll need to be waiting on the outside to get the rebound.

 GameCola Volume 4 Issue 2 - February 2005
The game is sort of based on the hit series of movies, where Jason Voorhees, an unkillable psychopath, slaughters teenagers who have been drinking beer, having sex, and smoking pot.
In Friday the 13th you play as one of six different counselors who has to stop Jason Voorhees from killing the other five counselors as well as fifteen children who are all randomly scattered around the map.
The main game itself is also four-player (a feature inexplicably left out of the first one) but once you put the time into this game that it requires for you to unlock The Arcade Game, you'll never go back.

The Video Game Critic doesn't usually like his games this hard, but at least you can choose to start on any of the first four stages.
The game seems promising at first, with a better control scheme (three slashes and one kick) and a slew of new basic moves.
The spectacular backgrounds are probably the highlight of the game, with marvelous unconventional scenery like a burning city, the interior of a church, and a concert stage.

No, it wasn't a great game like "SMB 3" or "Mega Man 2", but it was one of those games that I found myself renting over and over again (and not because of lack of selection at the video store).
Well someone from a gaming company replied, saying he could see it working, but why should it be limited to just fighting, why not take it TOO Elm Street or Crystal Lake, and do RPG style, start as a chummy, weak slasher, and build to the horrific monster.
And concerning the area in the game, the cabin deep in the forest served no real purpose, except maybe pick up a machete or ax, if there was one there.
