Episode 49
LJN made some of the worst games for the NES, but A Nightmare On Elm Street was actually awesome! It's an action packed side-scrolling platformer where you'll need to stay awake to avoid being sucked into Freddy's Nightmare!
You won't be helpless in the dream realm, though - Just like in 1987 A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, you'll be able to transform into powerful forms like the Acrobat, the Necromancer, and the Shadow Warrior to turn the tables on Freddy Krueger!
Even better, this is one of the few games to take advantage of the 4 Player accessories for the NES! Four players can fight Freddy together in one of the most unique experiences on the system.
So how did Wes Craven's 80's horror franchise get turned into a game for the NES? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* How to take advantage of your Dream Warrior super powers!
* Which location do we need to go to next? Why can't I enter this house? Finally understand Elm Street's seemingly random objectives!
* When should you enter the dream world, and when should you wake up?
* How to SKIP THE BOSSES in the final boss gauntlet! A powerful glitch!
* Where to find EVERY BONE! You can't afford to miss a single one!
* Strategies for defeating all of the dreaded NIGHTMARE BOSSES.... even FREDDY HIMSELF!
