15 'Horror' Video Games That Totally Failed To Scare Anyone
12. Friday The 13th (NES)
Released back in 1989, Friday the 13th was a survival horror in which players took on the role of one of six camp counsellors trying to defeat Jason Voorhees. The game itself was a side-scroller that allowed players to switch back and forth between a selection of various characters, each with their own set of abilities. The goal was to survivor for three days; killing Jason if at all possible. As you can imagine, the game is pretty dated, but thats not why its on this list. Its here, because it was never considered very scary, even when it first came out. Most of the game is set in broad daylight, and Jason turns up so suddenly that its funnier than it is scary. There are a few caves later on, but the layouts of those areas is so confusing that youll find yourself wandering around not knowing what the hell to do with yourself. Friday the 13th is considered one of the worst games ever made; it completely failed to capture the spirit of the movies, the repetitive music was infuriating and the entire experience was utterly un-frightening.
