A Nightmare On Elm St. | NES | LJN | 1990
This one’s a classic example of ‘Get the license because it’s a big movie, worry about whether it’ll work as a game later.’ You’ve got an IP in which the most charismatic character it a disfigured undead child-killer with a hand full of blades and a boiler room full of corpses. You’ve got a bunch of instantly forgettableheroes, - Bar that Depp guy. He could do well. Keep an eye on him - most of whome exist only to get killed in spectacular ways. You’ve got a movie with only one potential enemy, who incidentally happens to be the coolest character in the entire thing, plus epic amounts of gore, a bunch of teenage sex, and you’ve got to fit it all onto an 8-bit console in an era when gaming isstill mainly a kids’ occupation. Good luck. Yoooooouu’ll need it!
