How do you play Halloween?

[godzillajoe]

Yeah I read the manual but I still don't think I get it.

 

I grab onto a kid and then where am I supposed to bring him?

 

I go as far to the left or right and then what?

 

If I enter the doorway I end up downstairs and the kid is still upstairs wandering around.

 

Then if I go back I can't seem to grab him again.

On Oct 31st get dressed up in a costume and you go door to door and say "trick or treat!" and most times you will get some candy for your efforts but are you not a little old for this?

I was a bit too old when I stopped...lol

[godzillajoe]

You're all becoming very knife-able

I only wish I had the game to comment on!,sounds like fun though!

[godzillajoe]

OK I got it. I thought you had to bring them out of the house through the doors in the end rooms so I would always pass through the door expecting the little bastards to follow me out. But you just bring them to the room and press the button.

 

Did this game get any bad press? When Michael kills the girl she runs away headless with blood squirting out of her neck

 

And he's killing little kids who lie on the floor squirting blood way up in the air.

 

I mean it's so not realistic but someone must have complained. Someone always does.

I don't know about bad press or much of any press at all on this one. I never knew it existed untill 4-5 years ago. When I was a kid I didn't know the "scary" and "pornograhic" games were behind the counter and the retailers were too ashamed to sell them ...lol

I actually like this game alot. it is one of my favorites. Much better than the lousy Texas Chainsaw massacre one.

[Atarimania75]

Yes Halloween is a hell of a lot better than Texas Chainsaw Massacre running around with a chainsaw with all those damned obstacles slowing you down I think i got 1 or 2 people in the whole game.

For its time it was an x-rated game that could only be bought under the counter. I heard about it but always believed it to be a myth until it came up for sale on Ebay in 2001. It is one of the few titles I dont yet own

In high school around in 81,this kid sat beside me in math class,good kid.Anyway,he lived alone with his mother,and to make ends meet,they took in some loser about 23 years old as a border,who still went to high school,the same school as us.One weekend,after watching HALLOWEEN,this loser dude border,took out a knife and knifed him and his mother to death.I went to the funeral,the saddest thing 1've ever seen.So,I,d say the movie had a bad influence,not the 2600 game.Sure,this guy had a few screws loose,before watching the movie,but to a person who's mentally not all there,watching these movies can plant the seed,and influence and motivate sickos who have lost touch with reality to do these horrible crimes.It was on the news the very next day after the murder,and they said the murderer was obsessed with Michael Myers character.

Thats awful Rik...........so sorry for that very tragic. :-( I love watching horror movies and stuff but some of the things they show in them can give the wrong people very bad ideas.

You are right this game is great, but so unrealistic Micheal myers get's so f...... fast it is rediculous.

I like how in the movie,the victims are running like hell,and myers is just walking leisurely at a calm pace,and always catches up RIGHT behind them to finish them off.
