Nightmare on Elm Street (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1990)

Bad in such a good way.

Rating this game is a very difficult thing, sort of like rating a cult B-movie, or the Maury show. Is this game GOOD? Anyone who recognizes the rainbow logo of LJN knows the answer to that. (No), but it's not good in such a fun way. The baffling enemy choices (frankenstein monster-esque zombies? in a Freddy game?) to the confusing "Where do I go?" navigation, it's plentiful flaws make for a great game night with friends with some drinks.

So I would definitely reccomend this game, if only for a particular kind of person. The kind that enjoys a hilariously bad game as much as they enjoy a hilariously bad horror flic.

Be careful what you "fish" for...

I was thrown off by the pic, so I went under the impression and not the actual description. I was so looking forward to trying the handheld device I saw, but instantly researched my mistake when it came.

Other than that, this is a good horror collectible that has made me cautious in future purchases like I tried to be, as this was the only one, for some reason, I ignored the description.

I love being able to build my collection all over again as I was a poor kid who could never really afford to build my collection in the past.

However, I only plan on collecting the games I found truly worth playing back in the day and not every title out there.

I love the games, not the rarity.Read full review

A decent sideways-platformer with a horror focus.

Not a fantastic game mechanics-wise, but a good example of licensed games in the era this was released. LJN had a habit of grabbing every license going in the 90's, and Nightmare on Elm Street was one of them. With 4 player co-op, this game is unique for the era, joining a few other sports games in the category, but this one sets itself apart for being a sideways action-platformer, albeit a relatively generic action-platformer.Read full review
