Based on the 1980s slasher film franchise, Friday the 13th: The Computer Game challenges players to locate and defeat the masked killer, Jason Voorhees, before he eliminates all the camp counselors. The game unfolds in a maze-like environment where players must navigate buildings, identify hidden weapons, and confront Jason, who can disguise himself as other characters. The gameplay emphasizes exploration, pattern recognition, and strategic use of available resources to survive the night.
The 1989 budget re-release by Bug Byte made the game more accessible to a wider audience, preserving its original gameplay while offering it at a more affordable price point.
