Friday the 13th
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)Action
Friday the 13th is an action-adventure horror game developed by Atlus and published by LJN for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Players manage a group of teenage counselors at Camp Crystal Lake while trying to protect children and survive repeated attacks by Jason Voorhees. The game combines an overhead camp map with side-scrolling cabin and cave encounters, creating an unusual mix of exploration, combat, and time pressure. Its cryptic objectives, maze-like locations, limited resources, and sudden enemy attacks made it notably difficult. Although contemporary reception was mixed, the game remains a memorable example of an officially licensed NES horror title.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
