About
The Friday the 13th video game series spans several decades, beginning with early 1980s computer adaptations like Friday the 13th (1982) and Friday The 13th: The Computer Game. It is well known for the 1989 NES action-adventure game Friday the 13th published by LJN. The franchise was later revived as an asymmetrical multiplayer experience with Friday the 13th: The Game in 2017, which also received physical releases like the Signed Machete Steelbook Edition.
In Friday the 13th (1982) and Friday The 13th: The Computer Game (1982), gameplay centered on suspense, requiring players to identify which character Jason Voorhees had disguised himself as before he could murder the others. This psychological horror element shifted dramatically in Friday the 13th (1989), which required players to navigate Camp Crystal Lake, manage counselor inventories, and engage in real-time combat against Jason and other enemies.
