Little Red Hood is an unlicensed video game released for the NES and made by Thin Chen Enterprise/Sachen in Taiwan. It is very loosely based on the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. It is a rare game and sells for hundreds on the internet.
Why It’s Not Thankful For Your Coming
- You put the cartridge into the NES and then on the cartridge's top you put a licensed game to override the lockout chip in the NES (just like Super 3D Noah's Ark). That being said, however, the game will work just like a normal game if you put it into the Top Loader model.
- Atrocious graphics.
- All of the stages (except level 5) have the same design and layout.
- Ear-bleedingly bad music, described by AVGN as “The same frothy sound of crackling ass”.
- Poor sound effects that belong in an Atari game.
- Various objects can appear and vanish in various places (for instance, objects can be placed in areas out of reach like a tree, or appear in the same spot along with another object)
- Poor jumping controls as well as a glitched-up sound, resulting in stuttering during the jump instead of one-shot when the player jumps. Instead, it's used to knock fruits off trees.
- False advertising: The cover shows LRH kicking a goblin, but the kick doesn't deal any damage to enemies in-game.("Why'd they have to FUCKIN' LIE?!" - AVGN) Instead, it's used to knock fruits off trees.
- It has almost nothing to do with the actual fairy tale aside from the main protagonist and the title.
- No status screen shows you how many lives you have or how much fruit you have.
- Very cryptic. Some areas require very specific conditions that must be met to advance in the game, and no clues are provided.
- For example, in level 8, the key never appears until you buy a potion and 3 slingshots, and there’s nothing in the game that tells or hints to you on how to fulfill the needed criteria for the key to appear.
- The only way to defeat some enemies is to find the dog that attacks any enemy he comes into contact with or to buy a slingshot. However, enemies respawn immediately after death if killed with a slingshot, making attacking them ENTIRELY POINTLESS.
- When you attack with a slingshot, you don't shoot projectiles with the slingshot but instead THROW it.
- There is one enemy that can kill LRH with one shot and that is the bear. To get past it, LRH must get hit by a normal enemy and use temporary invincibility. The bear, however, might be intended to be the Big Bad Wolf, though it's extremely hard to tell.
- Poor ending that "does not disappoint (his expectations)" according to AVGN.

Reception
"What were they thinking?"

James Rolfe (AVGN) called this game "a broken-down mess." Besides considering it a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde standard," Rolfe also mentions that the game makes him feel "like a guinea pig in an experiment where they're testing the effects of negative reinforcement."
