Synopsis

A Nightmare on Elm Street is an unreleased NES game based on the film of the same name. In the game, you played as Freddy Krueger and your goal was to murder all the teens who are attempting to find your bones. The game was developed by Rare and planned to be published by LJN, however half way through development the game was scrapped and was restructured into a completely different game, possibly due to the dark nature of the game and Nintendo's strict guidelines from the time when it came to third party releases on the NES.

Chiller (1990)
Chiller (1990)Chiller is an unofficial game developed by American Game Cartridges for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is based upon a notorious arcade shooter by Exidy. It was also released in Australia by Home Entertainment Suppliers. The game is cited as one of the most violent games ever made for the Nintendo Entertainment System, let alone the 1980s video game medium. Despite being an unlicensed port, the game followed several official examples by being censored with some nudity covered up. In the game, you are in various medieval settings, usually featuring innocent people restrained in torture devices. The gruesome motive is to kill every NPC in as little time as possible.
