@ U Can Beat Video Games, This game terrified me because the sound it made when Jason popped up inside the cabin ALWAYS made me jump. I couldn't figure out why even though I prepared for his appearance.... and it's only a game but every single time ugh!

Thank you!! 😁

I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, I like watching playthroughs, but all they offer is just watching someone play a game. With these videos, we get a killer explanation for everything as well as the enjoyment of watching someone beat a game in however many ways it's possible to beat it. I seriously hope that this channel gets large enough to financially support this guy so that he can make these videos more often. Now I'm off to watch the Duck Tales video!

I have such a long history with this game, from having it terrify me at a young age, to coming back when I was in college to give it another try, to finally admitting I didn't know what I was doing and looking it up on KZbin years later to see if anyone else had beaten it, only to discover people had torn the game apart, figured out its quirks, and re-assembled it into something not only playable, but enjoyable. Seeing this on your channel is so delightful! :)

[@jebfullinwider4379]

I have always loved this game even when I was a kid. You had to turn off the sound in the cabin with Jason to avoid the jump scare, haha! This has always been the biggest disservice to video games, it's just a great game. Thanks for setting the record straight!

[@hardyjoe4278]

You know, in A Nightmare on Elm Street, after Freddy(TM) attacks, he jumps off screen. I usually kept thinking he would come back shortly after that as something else. However, In Friday the 13th, Jason can go away and suddenly appear again. The shift in music makes me nervous to play. My sister and I were playing a Nightmare on Elm Street one night, and we both got a game over, and the lights in the house went out.

One of my favorite NES games! Great explanation of the game! My friend and I played this every day after school for months and eventually learned most of the tricks. Jason’s indoor pattern is actually very predictable and easy once you learn it. I don’t consider the game beaten unless I save all counselors and children. Once you learn how to fight him inside, he’s pretty easy. Way easier than fighting Mrs. Vorhees.

T&C Surf Design is one of my favorite NES titles. (even though I still have NO IDEA how to do the surf stages) Great video as usual.

[@-Keith-]

If memory serves me right, all you need to do to cheese the surf stages is (while holding B) up (until you near the top of the wave), down to gain speed, right to check if you're close to shore, repeat. Basically you're just riding the wave by repeatedly doing up/down/right, and after a while you'll see the edge of the pier piles which means you just hold right until you surf into shore.

He's actually wrong about this. It increases any counselors defense. I've played and beaten this game dozens of times once I found out the torch trick years ago and he's actually just wrong on this. It would be cute but there's nothing in the game code that signifies a female from a male in this.

[@KopperNeoman]

It's only the modern game that needs that. To kill Jason in that, you need both Nedry and a female with the sweater.

I know what you're saying. This game's awful and even my nostalgic memories were bad with this game. I don't think it necessarily to bring up the issues with this game as anyone that's played it surely knows that nothing works the way it should. Even the map doesn't work but that's enough about this doo doo ball of a game.

[@aoccza7]

@@hermanherman5834 the map works, im a pro software developer and they did a great job with the map. There's no other way to make a MAP work in a 2d environment

[@hermanherman5834]

@@aoccza7 I think it's possible to make the indicator on the map show you on the right side of the map when you are actually moving in that direction onnyhe screen instead of on the left. The map is almost mirrored from the players actual location at times on this game. There were plenty of NES games that had a map that worked well enough to at least give you a general idea of where the player is so no this was just lame design. If you still enjoyed the game then you got something out of it that most people didn't seem to. I've not met many people that actually recalled this game as something they'd actually play these days. It's got that certain nostalgic pull to it that brings back memories of renting it as a kid but the game itself just doesn't cut it for a fun experience purely for it's gameplay. That's my experience with it anyway.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Totally agree!

[@MHArcadia]

Agreed! A lot of games were janky and kinda bad back in the day. But you made 'em work. If you're a kid, you probably weren't allowed to watch scary, gory movies. NES games were a different story! You could rent this and Nightmare over the weekend and have a mini Halloween whenever you needed a spooky boost. I may never be good enough to beat it myself, but it's still got an eerie atmosphere and running into Jason in the wild is legit scary for an NES title! That said, if you think about what that looks like from the camp staff perspective, they're basically watchin' Jason haul butt up a walking trail for like 3 minutes solid before he gets to them.

[@tylerhorn3712]

Friday the 13th had some issues. For example, the overworld map left/right sucked. But, it had an addictive quality. There was more to discover on each run about how the game worked. It's not as polished as Super Mario 3. But, if Mario 3 is a 10, experientially this was between 7 and 8.

[@Wyrdwad]

@@tylerhorn3712 Honestly, the left/right movement on the overworld always made perfect sense to me, even as a kid. If you imagine that you're actually walking a circular path, with right being counterclockwise and left being clockwise, everything fits together in a very logical and easy to comprehend way. It was a clever way of creating a complete 3D camp map in a 2D sidescroller format, and that method of map traversal would go on to be used in other games from time to time as well, such as Odin Sphere. ...It's not the most intuitive thing in the world, of course, and the game had a number of OTHER problems, such that I think your 7/8 out of 10 rating is pretty apt. But I don't think the overworld navigation was a point against the game, really -- it was less a flaw, and more an unpopular (but still entirely valid and arguably meritorious) design decision.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

@@Wyrdwad maybe I'm missing something here but can you please explain to me why it doesn't make more sense to walk left for counterclockwise and right for clockwise?

[@endykun]

After seeing this guide, I think I finally see what's "wrong" with this game. It's always felt "off" and now that I've seen a true, thorough guide explaining it, I think I've finally figured it out. The IDEA of the game is you're supposed to pick up weapons, pass them to the other counselors (which gives them longer "staying power" against Jason) and protect the children. The problem is, he moves too fast to realistically do those things, and you end up having to fight the way UCBvG suggests here. If he moved at half the speed (or the game were over 6 days instead of 3) you might actually be able to do the things the game "suggests" you're supposed to do. It was ALMOST perfect for the license, just not QUITE there. I would argue the "perfect" horror game for it's license is probably Nightmare on Elm Street.

[@-Keith-]

Yeah, this game forced the player to sacrifice children or other counselors in order to effectively beat the game. Trying to chase Jason down and stop all the cabin attacks would wear down all your lives, and that's the player's first instinct: you hear that alarm go off, you want to get to the cabin asap.

[@alexgarcia2k]

To be fair, it's very faithful to the movies as in the end there is only one or two characters left. I'd like to see if anybody has beat the game while saving all or most of the children.

[@ninjaguyYT]

@@alexgarcia2k I have done this. But... I had to use save states. I'm not good at fighting him outside without saves. And the wolves get me all the time.

[@endykun]

Yeah, thinking about it, I'm fairly sure this speed was intentional, that way it's impossible to save everyone, which, yes is very germane to the movies, and the genre. I still feel like if he was about 25% slower it would give you slightly more time to figure things out and react. I remember an old "How to Beat Video Games" guide by Jeff Rovin that suggested the strategy of passing knives to all the other counselors, then passing them machetes, then passing them vitamins, etc. I just don't think it's realistic, and the way UCBVG does it here is probably the only real way to win.

[@lennybrewster4673]

🤣 This reads funny

[@TV-Tony]

You can actually equip the sweater with a male counselor, but it does fit more with the movie's narrative to use Crissy to equip it instead, since she's female and the strongest female. Also if you light the large cabins in a different order (outside path, cave path, then lake path), you'll also get the torch in addition to the flashlight. Probably a good idea to have one of your other counselors go to the children's cabin sometimes, so you don't lose 5 kids early on, since you can only afford to have that happen twice in 1 game.

[@joshwyble6558]

I was born in 1981 & in 1987 I got my NES for Christmas so I grew up playing all these classic titles so I know first hand that the struggle was real. NES was notorious for being difficult to the point where as you said people would go as far as to try to get their money back from stores on account of some of those games were unimaginably bad. This game was one of several that used to beat me and my friends down without mercy on a daily basis and I beat it once in my life by using the game genie with the codes for infinite children and infinite energy for active counselor. That is the only way I ever beat it. That being said, you sir are the best Friday the 13th player I have ever seen in my entire life and I would go even further than that and proclaim you as the best Friday the 13th player on the planet. That is a bold statement but a factual one indeed and it needed to be said and you deserve recognition for this astonishing ability. Younger generations have no clue just how great you truly are because they do not know the real struggle when it was happening in the 1990s and the NES being pretty much all we had to play for the most part. Watching you master this damn near impossible game back in the day is one of the most impressive displays of raw talent that I have ever seen in my life. It is definitely in the top 5 of badass video game achievements of all time. One more thing: if you can do this on The Adventures of Bayou Billy, I don't care where you live I would walk from Maine to Baja California if it came to that just to buy you a beer. I am excellent at Rygar but this is almost other worldly. Congratulations my friend you are the true master of Friday the 13th. I can't stop babbling about it because I still can't believe what I just saw. Unreal. Unbelievable

It was very fun. There was allways more to discover. I seem to remember getting a machete and then upgrading it by killing Jason's mother.

[@matthewsantos8525]

remember as a kid, everyone said you needed the pitchfork to kill him. People would give 100 different locations where to find it and all of them were wrong. I discovered that you had to fight Jason's mom on day 3 as an adult to finally find it. So much easier these days with the internet to figure and find things out, back then it was base on word of mouth of hints from Nintendo Power.

[@tylerhorn3712]

@@matthewsantos8525 "Pitchfork is the ultimate weapon. You need it to beat Jason. Kill Jason's mom after getting a machette to get it" was the primary rumor. No-one around here could figure out the "lighting the cabin fires" (probably due to switching character and assuming they are still "lit").

Some of them like Ninja Gaiden, I never thought I’d beat it until I watched your video on it. The same thing with this game. Kudos to you for having one of the best channels on KZbin!

" ....and what if I told youuu... " Too cool. Great branding... Great content. Keep up the great work.

R.I.P., Debbie, Paul, and 10 children. I sure hope Mark wasn't close to any of you. R.I.P., Debbie and 10 children again. I also hope Crissy wasn't close to any of you. -She may be close to Mark, though.-

Yeah, as a kid, I could never defeat Jason, and I always wanted to save everyone, but I could never beat the game.

[@bretprice3858]

This guy is an absolute savage! What a channel! Thank you!!

[@davidjams2596]

This is a great video. This is new and it already has a classic quality. Great first 5 minutes. The rest was also very good. I feel like I could play it or explain it now aloud to others.

[@jcrowellz2000]

One of the 2 or 3 good LJN games. As a child that was actually allowed to watch the Friday the 13th movies at this time, the game was still scary tome and my young friends

Note: It isn't true that the sweater can only be worn by female characters. All camp players can wear it with the same defense.

[@rattleheadxyz]

Well, it looks like I can finally complete Friday the 13th now! Thanks so much for another awesome video!

[@UlverDreamingInRed]

Oh man I love this channel! So happy I found it yesterday. Really enjoy your style and the format. Keep it up !

[@richardnottelmann58]

This game is a lot like Goonies II.

[@StartingFromNothing]

Goonies II was Very criptic, this game wasnt

[@a.k.8195]

Do Castlevania 3, I, and many other gamers think it is a very hard game.

[@docheckfire3979]

Loving your content! Please keep it up.

[@datnorfsideoflongbeach]

I appreciate the effort you put into making this channel...good job

[@joaobabler1584]

This game always seams impossible to me

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

I feel that, as a kid this just seemed impossible!

[@joaobabler1584]

@@UCanBeatVideoGames I'm from Brazil, man. Thank you so much. Please do Nightmare on Elm Street (The Nightmare Hour "here in Brazil")

[@Rokabur]

Considering they had to turn an R-rated movie into an E-rated game (plus the NES hardware), this game isn't as bad as people make it out to be (like Castlevania 2).

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Totally agree!!

[@ApeBrainGames]

im glad you did this game. I have been waiting if you were going to do it and when i saw it on my feed i was pleasantly surprised. Also perfect timing as i see this (and the films) as a summer time thing.

[@bigdee8469]

Recently found your channel and have been tearing through your videos. I love the content and the format is excellent. Really easy to follow, and I dig the way you use of the sidebars on the 4:3 screen. Keep it going, and I wish you all the best.

[@Faygris]

I've never played the game. And after watching this, I'm even more confused about all those weirdly specific sets of movements you apparently have to perform at the right time at the right place to get seemingly random items 🤔😄

[@baldigang7034]

Commenting for the algorithm. Here's hoping for the Dragon Warrior series, and Mickey Mousecapade!

[@dougcolthar5244]

Video was amazing, stumbled across this channel and can’t wait to watch all your other videos. Keep up the great work sir!

[@xyonblade]

I'm glad I found your channel, I may not be interested in actually playing some of the games you do, but your style is very interesting to watch. And I like how you present these games. I hope you keep it up and get a bigger following!

[@Lenoh]

13:27 “So we’re gonna have to sacrifice some of those children...” Aaaaaaand demonetized 😹

[@darkprinc979]

Depends on your political leanings.

[@youtubecensorwrongthink5914]

"we're gonna have to sacrifice some of them children" Haha you sound like CNN 🤣🤣

[@ohkll]

This is one I've been waiting for.

[@Leandruzo]

Awesome explanation of the game! Thank for the help.

[@TheWilliamBWilliams]

I actually asked you to do a video of this game a few weeks ago so thank you!!!

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

1. Your reviews are engaging. 2. Your transitions to gameplay are smooth 3. There's always thought put into that opening display of "games like this one". 4. The way you present items and game mechanics remains 5 star. Well done in all regards.

[@DrewberTravels]

What if I told you that I love these videos. And what if I told you that I have watched a bunch of them this week since I found this channel. And what if I told you that I have been recommending this to friends.

[@LUMBARDO12]

Thanks for the awesome guide. ^^

[@michaelcorrado9416]

Love the vids!

[@numismaticstacker]

Fun to watch and it brings me back!

[@nurse_thomas]

Ran across this channel the other day. I've been watching gaming channels for quite some time and surprised it took me this long to find this one. Love the gameplay as well as history and background of the game. Would love to see an in depth game play of Uninvited or Shadowgate. Keep it up.

[@DavidEdwards9801]

I knew I'd see your channel explode, GG Love your work !! =)
