Download A Nightmare on Elm street - DOS game

Forget Freddy’s razor glove for a second - A Nightmare on Elm Street (1989) for DOS is terrifying in its own way. Mostly because of the controls. You play as a teen trying to stay awake and alive while navigating dreamscapes full of death and digitized screams. The gameplay is a mix of exploration and survival, wrapped in graphics that look like they’ve been chewed on by a Commodore. It captures the spirit of the movie in that you’re never quite sure what’s real, what’s a dream, or how you managed to get stuck in a wall. Creepy? Yes. Coherent? Not always. Freddy would be proud.
