John Carpenter's 'Halloween' is getting two new video game adaptations. One is an arcade platformer, but the director himself is involved on a second, unrevealed title.

The natural progression from the NES of course was right into the SNES. I think the SNES may still be my favorite console, mostly for the graphics.
