A Nightmare on Elm Street is a video game released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in October 1989 and 1990, loosely based on the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It was developed by Rare and published by LJN.
The game takes place in the neighborhood of Elm Street and is played from a side-scrolling perspective. The game's environment is inhabited by hostile characters (such as zombies, cats, dogs, skeletons, bats and minotaurs) that will attack the player character. Being attacked a certain number of times will cause the player to lose a life. Because the game takes place around midnight, certain areas are initially locked off from the player and require a key to be collected for later access. Within the individual buildings, the player must collect the bones scattered throughout the level before being able to leave. When all the bones are collected, a boss battle with Freddy will commence. Defeating Freddy will both allow the player to exit the area and earn the player a key that allows access to a new area.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is an unreleased NES game based on the film of the same name. In the game, you played as Freddy Krueger and your goal was to murder all the teens who are attempting to find your bones. The game was developed by Rare and planned to be published by LJN, however half way through development the game was scrapped and was restructured into a completely different game, possibly due to the dark nature of the game and Nintendo's strict guidelines from the time when it came to third party releases on the NES.
