1983: Halloween (the video game) released
I mean, it is Halloween after all, so this is only fitting, right? Five years after the release of Halloween (the movie), Atari unleashed a game that bore only a modest resemblance to Michael Myers’ killing spree. Playing as an unnamed babysitter, your goal was to keep your kid safe from Myers, or rather and unnamed killer’s evil hands. Move the kid from room to room dodging the murderer to score points. Fun? I’m not so sure…
