Homage to the NES games of yesteryear. Pros - The first and third stages are pretty fun. The background and graphics are pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the music but it and the sound effects will make you think you're playing an NES game. The first and second boss battles reminded me of old NES fights. Cons - For some reason, the dev decided to take the worst of NES platforming and put it in this game. The platforming is VERY hit or miss. You need precision jumping but with the icy physics, you could easily slide off the edge or in an attempt to overcompensate slide off the other edge. The fighting is hit or miss at times. The second, fourth, and fifth stages are horrendous at this. Honestly, I'm not sure if I could recommend this as a good game.

About the Game
Are you rad enough to accept the ultimate 8-bit challenge on Halloween night? HAUNTED: Halloween '85 is a new NES homebrew game featuring side-scrolling, platforming, beat 'em up action! It was originally released on cartridge in October of 2015 for the original Nintendo Entertainment System so it follows all the rules and restrictions of the original hardware.

The cartridge version can be purchased at www.cashinculture.com for those who still have a working NES or clone console!! Plot: It's Halloween in 1985, the town of Possum Hollow has been haunted by an evil presence, turning even your best friends into brain-craving zombies and innocent pumpkins into poisonous, death-dealing obstacles. To get to the source of the evil you will need to battle the haunts, climb trees, avoid jagger bushes, navigate underground caverns and come face to face with an unexpected evil that you must overcome in order to climb out of your own grave. Six unique bosses await you as you battle through six different levels of haunted suburbia. Take control of Donny Johnstown and fight like the little bit-kicker that he is to prove that you have what it takes to save Possum Hollow!
