Spookin' With Scoops: Friday The 13th

oh man that ending was the best. i kept waiting. I KEPT WAITING AND IT CAME

god damnit

Spook dem scoops 

I don't like that Patrick is playing this, as far as I'm concerned Ryan is the arbiter of Friday the 13th for the NES!

Possibly the most disheartening ending ever. Great show.

When they grab the game by its balls, its glorious.

Remarkably, this is probably LJN's best game.

All the other ones are total garbage. This one, however, you can actually play. Not that anyone got anywhere with it when it was first released, but eh.

maximum carnage

Everyone knew they were just Acclaim by then.

That was awesome! Great episode :D Hahaha, and that damn ending is the best! ^_^

This is pretty awesome content, guys. Game is surprisingly full of excitement and quite dynamic, polish it up and this could be a great sidescroller / Punch-Out!! style horror game.

That was a great ending.

SPEED RUN IT PATRICK! You don't even have to fight momma Vorhees floating head.

Man that game is even worse than I remember it. And that's saying something.

Hey, we did all this work to get the best item in the game which kills enemies in one hit but instead of using it we're going to try and awkwardly jump over them and then give up when we accidentally pick up a new weapon which we knew would happen if we were jumping.

But hey, it wouldn't be Giant Bomb if we didn't suck horribly at video games and then blame the game when we lose, so whatever.

... Wow. Have a sense of humor, it'll keep your blood pressure down.

Indeed, chill out.

Yeah, it's crazy. It's almost like they had a time limit to go a far distance and were trying to not be slowed down.

Pay attention next time so you don't make a fool of yourself.

I enjoy how this game has a somewhat decent premise wrapped in a game that is pure garbage. Great piece of content, guys.

@tysonwritesel: Yeah, T&C was awesome! I understand Ryan's dumping on shit like Friday the 13th, Jaws, etc... but not T&C!

When I was 5 or 6 and we would go to the Video Rental store every week, I would rent games, and one time I rented Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure It Sucked. But the box art made it look so good.

Save state on an emulator after getting the torch, but i guess if you were to go that far you might aswell just start playing a different game.

This game is terrible. What makes it even worse is how bad the ending is. I really really hope they keep going with this. I love watching the guys play old games.

The true tragedy is that those counselors were all one day away from retirement...

Debby was always my main in F13

I don't understand any of this. How the hell does he make Jason appear at will - is he exploiting the game the same way as when getting the torch?

Also, holy. fuck. dat ending....this game was trolling fools 20 years before that became a thing!

Yes. Never thought watching this game for 94 minutes would be fun guess I was wrong.

NO! PEOPLE DON'T COME TO GIANT BOMB FOR THE EDITORS' PERSONALITY/HUMOR, THEY COME HERE TO WATCH PRO-GRADE SPEEDRUNS OF VIDEOGAMES!!!

Heeeey, where's the System Shock 2 scoops video? :/ I looove SS2 but missed Patrick's live stream :(

It keeps crapping out on export. Hopefully soon.

"Ah, my nemesis..." - Patrick's quote of the year.

It's amazing how bored I get watching high budget hollywood movies for 90 minutes, and yet when I watch 90 minutes of Patrick playing Friday 13th, or Vinny screwing around in Windows trying to get Sleeping Dogs DLC working, I am totally engaged.

Many thanks to all involved for providing such great entertainment that few others can! I love stuff like this. <3

I was especially impressed seeing all the mechanics of getting the fire weapon... who would have thought that jumping around in a particular direction in the vicinity of a certain screen would cause very specific 'random' items? Old game mechanics are fascinating to me when they're broken apart!

Can someone explain the source of the screencap?

This is great! I'm really enjoying this.

Fan art, awesome fan art by user Fobwashed.

Wow, yeah. That's amazing art because I thought they were going to be trying out some sort of remake of this game because it's damned creepy looking.

I was just about to comment on that. Preeeeeetty awesome, duder. Nice job, @Fobwashed!

As bad as I think this game is, I do think the melody while searching the cabins is pretty incredible. Too bad you couldn't get him, great video regardless guys.

Friday the 13th will always be remembered by me as a game that had a few legitimately clever ideas buried under shit game design. In better hands, the basic concept of the game could have been something legitimately special.

I would love to see you guys take another shot at this.

Thanks =)

Good job mr. Klepek and Herr Davis on the video, i really hope we get more retro stuff, its always the best most interesting videos you do.

This game is also responsible for being the absolute best Angry Video Game Nerd video he has ever done, it was one of his first, and his "review" is absolutely classic, basically him and the show at its peak early on before it got stale and dull

This was great. The ending was so tragic.

Why exactly is this series called "Spookin' with Scoops"? I get the spookin' part, at least.

Watching that Debbie vs Jason fight was like something out of fucking Dark Souls. Always remember: If you can damage it, you can kill it.

Completely true. I absolutely love that review.

Uh, I was joking. Maybe if you had a sense of humor, you would have picked up on it.

Using a one hit kill weapon is slower than jumping back and forth trying to avoid being hit? That is crazy.

Hey! I liked T&C Surf Designs.

I was young. I had poor taste. Don't look at me!!!!! >.<

@JokerSmilez: Really, you were joking? Totally couldn't tell.

Anyway, great video guys. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I watched the whole thing.

truly frightening

I demand a Breaking Brad "Friday The 13th" 24 hour marathon...for charity!!!

I agree whole heartedly!

Great video, fuck this game.
