Both games were titled A Nightmare on Elm Street and released in 1989; however, they are entirely different games. Recently, Freddy Krueger again appeared in the gaming world, courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. Platinum Dunes’ version of Freddy is a playable DLC warrior in Mortal Kombat for Xbox360 and PS3. Compulsive gambling symptoms.

Description: “A malevolent spirit of the Dream Realm, Freddy Krueger preys on the souls of the living as they sleep. When Shao Kahn began to steal Earthrealm’s souls—souls Freddy considered his own—Freddy battled the emperor in the Dream Realm. But Shao Kahn’s will was too strong. He pulled Freddy into the real world, where he was mortal, and defeated him. A badly injured yet determined Freddy fitted both his hands with demonically enhanced razor gloves. Once he has killed Shao Kahn he will find a way back to the Dream Realm, where he will torment Earthrealm’s souls for eternity.”
The plot is a spin-off from the film series. The game can be played by up to four players, either using the NES Satellite or NES Four Score. The game is a side-scrolling platform game in which the player fights his way through different parts of Elm Street (houses, junk yard, etc.). It’s a horrible nightmare come true and this nightmare has a name: Freddy Krueger. It’s up to you and your remaining friends to search Elm Street for his bones, which have been scattered about, then collect and burn them in the High School furnace. If you just stay awake long enough, you might be able to end Freddy’s reign of terror for good. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a platforming horror video game based on the 1976 hit horror movie of the same name. Released back in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), in this game the player must all of Freddy Krueger’s bones and try to kill him once and for all.

It’s a horrible nightmare come true and this nightmare has a name: Freddy Krueger.
