(1.0)
1
1983
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a video game for the Atari 2600 based on the slasher film of the same name written by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel. The game released in March 1983 Wizard Video Games. The game was designed and programmed by VSS, a software development company started by Ed Salvo and several other ex-Games by Apollo programmers. The player takes on the role of the movie's chainsaw-wielding villain, Leatherface,[3] and attempts to murder trespassers while avoiding obstacles such as fences, wheelchairs, and cow skulls.[4] The player controls the murderer with the objective to chase and kill victims.[5] Each victim slain gives the player 1,000 points. The player receives additional fuel at every 5,000 points (5 victims). A life is lost when the player's chainsaw runs out of gasoline. Gameplay ends when the last tank of gas is consumed.

Ya, this should never have been made (yet another poor video game adaptation).
This game was frustrating because I kept getting stuck despite nothing being directly in front of me. Apparently, if an object is even somewhat close to you then you're stopped, and you have to cut it up.
The object of the game is to chase down trespassers and cut them up with your chainsaw. The problem though is that you have limited fuel. I purposefully ran out of fuel to end the game (I was frustrated and bored) and the game over screen is a trespasser coming up and kicking you in the butt (easily the best part of an otherwise lackluster game).
