Nightmare on Elm Street: One of the Better LJN Games

I have very few memories of Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES. This is one of the many games that LJN published, and it is one of their better games. Like several other games from LJN, it is an ambitious game with some cool ideas. None of which was fully realized. Unlike Friday theContinue reading “Nightmare on Elm Street: One of the Better LJN Games”

Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible

This is a game that I don’t remember playing as a kid. There is a decent chance that my friends rented it, but I don’t remember playing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure.

Better than You Might Think, Friday the 13th

In some ways, it’s as if they took everything “cool” fromContinue reading “A Good but not Great LJN Game, Town & Country II”

Jaws on the NES, One of LJN’s Best Games

One of the stranger games published by LJN is Jaws. It is an odd adaptation of the movie series, and it confused the hell out of me when I was a kid. I played the game before seeing the movie, and I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. The game wasContinue reading “Jaws on the NES, One of LJN’s Best Games”

An Honest Look at Karate Kid on the NES

Karate Kid on the NES is one of the first games that got the LJN treatment in the mid-2000s. It is also a game that I vaguely remember from the time I watched the video. I had played it as a kid, but didn’t know much about it. I don’t remember looking for this gameContinue reading “An Honest Look at Karate Kid on the NES”
