385 - A Nightmare on Elm Street

Nightmare has two worlds. In the red-tinted "real world," players
fight snakes and spiders while navigating standard platform
challenges. The players here have a "sleep meter" that depletes
with every hit taken. If the player's sleep meter drops to empty,
the game transitions into the blue-tinted "dream world," where
enemies take on the appearance of skeletons and ghosts. An
invisible timer also starts, counting down until Freddy appears
and forces the player into a brief boss battle. The sleep meter
becomes a standard life gauge in the dream world, and deducts a
life from the player if drained.
