Overview

Stephen King's F13 - game trailer (1999) Macintosh/PC (Windows)

Stephen King's F13 is a collection of casual games developed by Presto Studios and released in 2000 by Blue Byte. The title F13 suggests a function key that would follow F12 on standard PC keyboards. The minigames include No Swimming, Bug Splat, and Whack-A-Zombie. The "Frightware" bundle also includes a set of "Screamsavers", "Bump and Thump" sound effects, "Deathtop" backgrounds, and Stephen King's short novella Everything's Eventual. Stephen King's F13 decks out your computer with a horror aesthetic, offering "deathtop" images, "screamsavers," and a trio of minigames. The capper is a novella entitled Everything's Eventual, a story that brings King's usual themes into a high-tech context.
