Friday the 13th Video Walkthrough
At the request of Edsta713TX here at YouTube, I present to you a video walkthrough / playthrough / runthrough / etc of the NES game Friday the 13th.
There are quite a few ways to go about playing this game. If you really wanted to, you could try arming each camp counselor with better weapons and be able to quickly get to whichever cabin Jason is in quicker, or you can stick with one person and take it from there.
What I did was use the trick to quickly get a torch. This should work every time you try it (just make sure to not mess up any step). This makes fighting Jason a whole lot easier. I could have gotten the torch the normal way by lighting all the fireplaces and whatnot, but I'm sure the other counselors and children were thankful not to have to put up with Jason any longer than they had to... :P
On day two, I fight Jason for a bit before heading off to see his mom. Jason likes to go into turbo mode now and then during the second day, so it does help to have a bit of extra protection.
On the third day, I dart to the cave to fight the flying evil head of doom to get the pitchfork. After the cabin battle I have with him, I got lucky in that I was able to chase Jason and eventually kill him after a few encounters. Normally I wouldn't have done that, but I had plenty of medicine, so I could risk just standing around like an idiot while chucking pitchforks at him. Needless to say, it worked out rather well... :P
