A Nightmare on Elm Street: Strahl's Nightmare
A full redesign of the NES Nightmare on Elm Street with seven new levels built around the dream world, reworked bosses and an all-new final battle with Freddy.
What's new
Strahl rebuilt Rare's game from the levels up. The seven new stages lean more on the Dream World and the dream warrior powers, so coffee cups and radios are rarer. The stages now come in a fixed order instead of the random start of the original, boss rooms are reworked, the level 5 boss behaves differently and the final fight against Freddy is completely new, with several new attack patterns. You get six continues instead of three. The result is a little harder than the original, but meant to stay fair.
Version 1.1 fixes a bug where Freddy could spend the whole final fight just walking, makes his attacks less repetitive and shows the version number on the title screen.
