== Trivia == ===In-Game=== * Although not the first Jason variant to have not been modeled after any appearances from the films (outside of [[Savini Jason]]), it is the first and currently only Jason to have been modeled after his appearance in a video game, being the 1989 NES game. * Although the previews of Retro Jason was seen with the axe recolored much like in the 1989 game, this isn't present for some reason in-game as the axe that Retro Jason uses is the same axe model that [[Jason (Part 3)|Part 3 Jason]] uses. * There were plans to separate Retro Jason from Part 3 Jason and make him a standalone playable character, complete with his own strengths and weakness. Due to the legal dispute between Sean S. Cunningham and Jason's creator Victor Miller, these plans were put on indefinite hold, before being canceled outright due to the official end of service for the game. ===Other=== * The toy company NECA released figures of Jason based on his appearance in the 1989 NES game. Just like Retro Jason, they're also recolors of [[Jason (Part 3)|Part 3 Jason]] that come with a recolored machete, axe and the floating Pamela head from the NES game. * Interestingly, the 1989 NES game had [[Jason (Part 7)|Part 7 Jason]] on its cover. * Before the NES game came out in 1989, a Friday the 13th computer game came out for the ZX Spectrum, the Amstrad CPC and the Commodore 64 in 1984. Players had to protect their character's friends, guess which among them is actually Jason in disguise and kill him using any weapon they can find before their fear reaches a certain level and he kills them. Jason, however, does not wear any mask in gameplay and instead seems to be a regular, black-haired man dressed in black once exposed in the Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 versions of the game. In the ZX Spectrum version, his sprite is identical to some of the player characters' and their male friends, making him even harder to distinguish. The game's title screen on all versions of the game, which is based on ''The Final Chapter'''s poster, is one of the few parts of the game to actually properly feature the hockey mask.
