About HAUNTED: Halloween '86

HAUNTED: Halloween '86 is a brand new NES game featuring side-scrolling, platforming, beat 'em up action! Included here are two versions of the game: Spirit Exclusive and The Curse Of Possum Hollow (original). The Spirit Exclusive version features a new story and all new bosses from Spirit Halloween! Steven and Kym must relive the experiences of Donny and Tami on Halloween night in 1986. But this time, Jack the Reaper and his henchmen have taken over the town of Possum Hollow. Are you rad enough to accept the ultimate 8-bit challenge on Halloween night...again!?!?This game is the sequel to HAUNTED: Halloween '85. It was originally released on cartridge in October of 2016, and then redesigned for release in 2025 for Spirit Halloween. It is built for the original Nintendo Entertainment System; so it follows all the rules and restrictions of the original hardware. We are releasing the game in all its pixelated, 8-bit, retro glory for your PC. The cartridge versions can be purchased online for those who still have a working NES or clone console!!

This game plays really smoothly while feeling true to the NES experience. Things seem daunting and hard, then once you get the feel for it, it can all be beaten in one go taking around an hour, or if you prefer continuing with passwords, it has that too. Lots of secrets to find along the way and power ups so things don't get stale.

The Haunted Halloween games are really enjoyable action platformers that have combat more akin to a beat'em up. Being an authentic NES release means it's constrained to the limits of that system but they mapped your different attacks in a way that just feels right. Progressing through the game and earning new moves to add to your arsenal pushed me along, looking forward to that next flashy new maneuver. The visuals and music are pretty good, the story is solid, and I love that this includes both versions of HH '86. It definitely poses a nice challenge but the rewarding kind that isn't overly frustrating but will definitely test your skills and understanding of the games moves and mechanics. If you haven't played any of the HH games and you enjoy retro games you totally should. Highly recommend!
