GideonsDad's Blog - # 4 Halloween Entry - Halloween for the 2600

[RSS Bot]

Out of the PC and into the consoles we go for our next Halloween entry - Halloween for the Atari 2600. As far as I can tell this is the story: I am a babysitter who is charged with protecting children from the murderous Michael Meyers who wants to kill me and them. I can lead the children to safety at the ends of the floors because Mikey has an aversion to single-door rooms apparently. I also randomly find a knife and stab Mikey but he doesn't die he runs away and comes back and chops my head off. The sound in minimal but when Mikey shows up you get a pretty good rendition of the Halloween theme music. Another note is that sometimes, most often upstairs the lights will flicker making it harder so see where you are or where Mikey is. For what was probably one of he first games to take on the horror genre I cannot judge it too harshly (I did jump the first time I heard the theme music). It's certainly worth playing on Stella or if you can find it cheap then I say go for it.
