It may not be Halloween, but who cares when you can play some fan-made free slasher games on your PC and/or NES emulator!
Decades ago, Steve McCall was tinkering with a PC program called Klik & Play, to make slasher fan games where the player got to play as the actual antagonist. These late 90s games had a cult following, which thanks to Steve, he has now demade them for the NES, after teaching himself how to program on the 6502 8-bit chipset. The four games created by Steve McCall include:
- Friday the 13th: Return to Camp Blood (1998)
- Halloween: October 31st (1999)
- A Nightmare on Elm Street: Son of a Hundred Maniacs (1999)
- Candyman: Be My Victim (2006)
If you want to play these fan made NES games on your fave emulator, then check out Steve’s 8-bit demakes site at 8bitslasher.itch.io. If you want to experience the original PC versions of these games, then head on over to 5kids2feed.itch.io.
