80's Horror Games

[capncnut]

As a finale to my ZX Spectrum revival, I have decided to post links to a bunch of horror related games from the 80's. Some are platform, some are shooters, some are adventure but all are worth a try. Just scroll down to the window at the bottom of page, click on it and (in most cases) hit 1 or Enter to start. Instructions and inlay card details are available with some of the titles. Alien http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...details&id=254 Cannibal Island http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...details&id=688 Deadly Evil http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=1093 The Evil Dead http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=1362 Frankenstein http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=1521 Friday The 13th http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=1540 Go To Hell http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=1687 Gremlins 2 http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=1751 Jack The Ripper http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=2065 The Rocky Horror Show http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=3306 Subterranean Nightmare http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=3919 V http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=4316 Vampire Village http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=4326 Wolfman http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=4496 Zombie Zombie http://www.zxsoftware.co.uk/Software...etails&id=4689 There were a whole lot more I wanted to link up but some of the companies who made these classics have banned the site from using them. Oh well, enjoy!

Ever play the spectrum game of Aliens? That was trippy, as i recall - only ever managed to land the shuttle a couple of times, let alone anything else.

Sure did and yeah, I had the same problem with it too. If my mind serves me correctly (mostly it doesn't), you had to fly through a series of annoyingly placed 'circles' before landing after the last one. What a nightmare! I wanted to put Aliens on the above list (along with Ghost's 'N Goblins, Predator and a few others) but alas I was prohibited. Bah!

I played Alien for Atari. It was basically Alien meets Pac-Man meets Frogger. I rented Friday the 13th for Nintendo many years ago. It was so so.

If my mind serves me correctly, wasn't there a horror game about a violent knife wielding psychopath that used actual video footage for the cutscenes? Damn, I can't remember the title but I think it was on either the P$one or Mega CD.
