[dirtboy69]

[maximebeauvais]

hummm, not really but you must play this game!!!

id say they are pretty damn hard to get. ive never seen them in the wild, and ive been collecting since 1980.

IMHO the games are not that good. I have them because I needed them for the collection. The gameplay for both are very week, but the music/sound effects are pretty good.

Halloween is worth it just to hear the title music.

Anyone have the original manuals that can be scanned? I know the scan of Halloween is in the AA files, I'd like to get a clean High Quality scan for my own personal use if possible.

 

Thanks,

I have the manual for Halloween (actually the scan on AA is mine). Albert may have kept the higer resolution scans I sent him.

I've got TX chainsaw manual;next time I buy stuff from the AA store I'll send it along so it can be scanned(my scanner here is way too old to be of any use).

Actually, being a horror fan, I thought these games were pretty cool... They were no "Haunted House", but for primitive horror/suspense games, they were decent.

 

The funny thing about Halloween is that it is *EXACTLY* like the movie: Michael Myers slowly and non-threateningly moves closer to you with a knife as the simple yet catchy music rings loudly through the speakers. You control the babysitter and trying and avoid him for as long as possible, but (if I remember correctly) I don't think you can ever kill him. Again, just like the movie!

 

The TCM game surprised me at the time, because it was the first game I had ever played where you're SUPPOSED to kill innocent people. This was before I had ever heard of Death Race, Schoolyard Slaughter, Custer's Revenge, or any of those other controversial games that were (in most cases) much more offensive.
