Fan Makes Playable Lost Boys Nintendo Game
Though video games are more realistic than ever before in the present day, there’s something about those simple side-scrollers that is still so damn charming. Back in the 80s, horror classics like Halloween and Friday the 13th were turned into games, though too many of our favorites were not.
Now, thanks to one fan with a whole lot of free time on his hands, The Lost Boys has just landed on the Nintendo console – decades after it became a thing of the distant past. Yes, the 1988 vampire classic now has its own NES game, and you can purchase it today and be playing it within a week.
A clever hack of the Shadow of the Ninja video game, The Lost Boys NES game allows you to take control of Vampire Hunters Edgar and Alan Frog as they stand tall to protect Santa Carla from an evil gang of vampires. The boss, of course, is their blood-sucking leader David.
The game is now available through Chip Masters, and can be yours for $55. What you’ll receive in the mail is an actual NES cartridge that will work with your Nintendo system, so you might want to dig it up from the basement and blow the decades of dust out of it.
