A meteor crashed near the mansion of Doctor Fred 20(i think 20.. didnt play it in a long time) years ago and now strange things are happening.<BR>Fred didn't sleep in 5 years and brought bodies into the basement.<BR>Two tentacles by the names of Green and Purple wander around.<BR>Something strange in the pool.<BR>And now Sandy the cheerleader, and girlfriend of Dave, has been kidnapped.<BR>Your mission is to lead Dave and two other kids into the mansion, to save Sandy, get rid of the meteor and get out again.<BR><BR>Gameplay:<BR>Its horribly annoying without a special NES mouse (such things exist I think) and I only played it with an emulator, I tried it with the normal arrow keys... and it was hell... unless you're a pro of course.<BR><BR>Graphics:<BR>Almost makes you forget your playing on a NES.<BR><BR>Music:<BR>Some songs are horribly annoying while some are plain genius.<BR><BR>Originality:<BR>I guess its original enough to encourage the creators of angry beavers to make an episode loosely based on the plot of this game. (Halloween special)<BR><BR>Overall:<BR>Don't be a tunahead, play this game!
