The Ultimate Video Game Nostalgia Experience On New VHS Tape From Here Lies!

Image Leave a comment

Our friend Eddie Spuhghetti over at HERE LIES has outdone himself again with an overload of nostalgia compilation- but this time the hero of the day is video games. And we got the best of the 70s, 80s, and ’90s video game content, ranging from commercials, cartoons inspired by video games, and, of course, a full-length movie jam-packed into a six-hour VHS for your consumption.

The movie, for those who are curious, is usually left as a surprise, but in this instance, is revealed beforehand and in marvelous 3D- THE LAST STARFIGHTER! Whereby, the VHS tape comes with two pairs of 3D glasses for proper maximum enjoyment.

As with HERE LIES’ other VHS companions, this tape is no different in how meticulously placed each commercial and episode segment is- all in the name of nostalgia and to light up all your senses into thinking you’ve traveled back in time with this little piece of polypropylene. With a bonus digital copy included for your on-the-go needs, or for those who don’t have the luxury (wild that I’m saying that in 2026), of a working VCR, it’s a must-have for both video game and VHS enthusiasts!

Oh, and don’t forget the Power Glove.

Someone Made An Actual Movie Trailer For the Friday the 13th NES Game and it is GLORIOUS

“You’re dead. Your friends are dead. Your family’s dead. Your fucking pets are being skinned alive. Your mom’s a fucking whore. You suck at life. The whole world hates you. You’re going to Hell. Live with it. Game Over.” – Via the ever so wise Nintendo Sensi, James Rolfe.

He wasn’t wrong you know. Although the original Friday the 13th game for the Nintendo Entertainment System seemed like a horror fan’s 8-bit wet dream, the frustration of gameplay quickly softened any prepubescent boners we may have had going into this pixelated LJN nightmare. I would never refer to it as a giant piece of donkey shit like some may have dubbed it, but the game itself is a goddamn pain in the ass for sure to get through without blowing your blood pressure out of range.

Anyway, today being the 13th of Friday here at Nightmare Nostalgia, I figured now is as a good as time as ever to showcase something that any fan of the NES game would appreciate the Holy Pixels out of. Youtube channel Mega64 brought about this hilarious fanmade movie trailer back in 2015 of you guessed it-Friday the 13th The Game The Movie. And it is goddamn gloriously nostalgic from those days of throwing ineffective knives at zombies and flying Pamela Voorhees rotting heads. Complete with VHS static to give it that retro feel, the fanmade trailer nails every aspect of the game that we love to bitch about endlessly. They even throw in the old joke of Jason’s machete looking like a giant toothbrush gag.

It doesn’t really get any better than that, folks. Happy Friday the 13th campers!

Boss Games and John Carpenter Working On TWO Halloween Games Based On The Franchise!

Big news coming from an exclusive with IGN this morning-not one, but TWO games based on John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN are currently being developed by Boss Games (Evil Dead: The Game). One of those which is still in early development is being created in Unreal Engine 5 with oversight from the master of horror himself, John Carpenter. Both games are being released in association with Compass International Pictures and Further Front.

According to the announcement, both games will allow players to “relive moments from the film and play as classic characters from one of the most iconic and important horror films of all time.”

Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris added, “Everyone at Boss Team Games are huge fans of horror, and Halloween obviously holds a special place in the hearts of all horror fans. Getting to work with iconic characters like Michael Myers and build on John Carpenter’s original vision is literally a dream come true. Everyone at Boss Team is thrilled and honored to be working with Malek Akkad and John Carpenter to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that fans of the movie and video games will love.”

John Carpenter adds, “As a huge gamer myself, I’m thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly,” said Carpenter, who is “intimately involved” with the project.”

Over the last few years, popular horror films and franchises have been getting the video game treatment with enthusiasm from fans, but it’s certainly not a new thing; and this isn’t Myers’ first rodeo with being thrown into the gaming world.

Back in 1983, Myers would become immortalized in his very first video game released by the Atari 2600 titled simply, HALLOWEEN. However, Myers never passed the 8-bit stage until the PC fan-regulated game TERRORDROME hit the web, and then Myers making his way into DEAD BY DAYLIGHT. So while the likes of Jason, Leatherface, and even the Killer Klowns from Outer Space have gotten their own games in the last few years, it’s been long overdue for Myers to rise out of 8bit hell to finally get his updated gamer dues.

Hopefully, however, they’ll give a nod to the original 1983 Wizard game and if decapitated by Myers, you’ll be falling around the screen like a headless chicken. Because that was hilarious.

No release dates have been announced as of yet, so stay tuned as more details emerge!
