Fright Night

Fright Night is a video game published by British software company, Microdeal, for the Amiga. It is based on the American horror comedy movie Fright Night. Gameplay The game puts the player in control of Jerry Dandridge, who must explore the rooms of a mansion searching for victims to feed on. The objective is to dispose of all the mansion inhabitants whilst avoiding all the crucifixes that are thrown at the player. Once all victims have been deprived of their blood, the next level will become accessible. A coffin can be used as a regeneration spot once the player runs low on health, although it must be reached before dawn, which ultimately results in a Game Over. Blood that is noxious to the player must be avoided, too, as it can bring him to the same fate. Reception Tom Malcom for Info said "The humor of Fright Night is strictly junior-high, but most of us enjoy a little junior-high silliness now and then." Mark Higham for ST/Amiga Format said "it's unusual to take on the role of the bad guy, and with the sort of visual treat on offer it's certain to be a hit."
