Friday The 13th - Road to Hell

[Conan]

Check out this cell phone Friday the 13th game video I found.
I am sorry for the shitty music in the video.
Game INFO
Having committed so many murders, Jason starts hunting after more enemies. Seems that people appaered to be so fragile, that their deaths did no more satisfy him as before. Jason decides to go down in the heart of the Hell and find the boiling cauldron with sinners in order to have full pleasure from the agony in which people are there. But before getting there, he will have to overcome many enemies, friendly towards each other, but who are hardly going to be friendly with him. So, he will have to face blood-thirsty zombies from ancient grave-yards, whose bodies dried-up for centuries and are in need of fresh blood, and former psychopaths ready to rush after anyone who even remotely reminds them their torturers. Also are on his way, damned monks excommunicated for terrible evil deeds and condemned to eternal suffering for the sins they committed during their lives. Having reached the Hell, strange creatures, which the only sight of flesh stirs up their fury and rage, will not give any moment of rest. Finally, here it is, the desired Boiler with sinners giving off fluids of fear, pain and unbearable sufferings. But is it the end of the trip?

What? A Friday the 13th video game for you cell phone.

That's a terrible looking game. All the enemies look the same and he can't seem to jump (which he does in the movies) or walk backward.

It's a cellphone game from 2007, what did you expect?!

Man, I think I'll have to skip getting something like this.

Cellphone games have come a long way in the last 5 years with the proliferation of the smartphone.

In defense of Lazario (I know, I don't know why I'm bothering either) that game does look terrible even compared to games I was playing on my cell phone in 2007. I was at least able to play tetris, Arkanoid, and stuff like that (all of which were better than the above). To be fair, though, this is not the first F13 videogame attempt. There was one for the NES as well, and the less said about it the better. It has about the worst videogame track record of any franchise that I would remotely consider worthy of a videogame (I mean, yeah, I imagine the Strawberry Shortcake game for the Atari 2600 MIGHT have been worse, but I am far from confident in that statement).

I remember and actually still own that NES game. ::shudders::

That said, the Splatterhouse series of games was very clearly a F13 rip off. While I wouldn't call any of them great games, a few of them were enjoyable to play and certainly better than any of the "officially licensed" F13 products out there.

I think I played one of those games back in the day. What system(s) were they on?

[HNT]

The first and best one was on the Turbografx 16, so most people probably haven't played it. I think you can download it these days from the XBox Live Arcade (and it is certainly available on the Wii Virtual console) if you want to play it. I haven't touched it in years, but I imagine that today it would play as a rather outdated side scrolling beat 'em up and might not be that exciting. There was also an arcade game I believe, and there was a more recent remake for the 360 (and possibly the PS3 though I am not sure about that). I haven't played the newest game, but I have heard that is is not great but alright. Given how bad the F13 videogames have all been, mediocre would put it squarely ahead of any of them.
