A new episode of our video series Playing with Fear has just been released, and in this one we’re celebrating the holiday season by taking a look at every video game that has spawned from the Christmas classic Gremlins and its sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch! Whether the game was released for NES, Gameboy, DOS, Commodore 64, or even the ZX Spectrum, it’s covered in the video embedded above.
Copies of the Gremlins 2 NES game can be purchased at THIS LINK. That one has the following description:
Gizmo is trapped inside Clamp Centre by the evil Gremlins. Your mission? Help him battle his way to the control center and rid the city forever of the Gremlin menace! It’s not going to be easy. You’ll have to use cunning and wits to survive with only the weapons you find inside Clamp Centre… matches, a flashlight, tomatoes, and a homemade bow and arrow. But, if you’re lucky, the door to Mr. Wing’s Magic Shop may mystically appear… and let you buy some very special – and powerful – items to help you. This game has all the traps, mazes, and lightning quick moves to push your skill to the limits. And it has graphics that seem to come alive on the screen. Gremlins. Stopping them is not going to be easy. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Episodes in the Playing with Fear series take
a look at the most impactful, successful, and scariest video games throughout the history of the medium and deciding if they’re still worth playing today.
Playing with Fear is Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Tyler Nichols, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
I don’t think I ever played any of the Gremlins games, so this latest episode will be quite educational for me.
