I agree with another reviewer, this should have been freeware. Not only is this a TOTAL waste of money, but a lot of it is really disturbing, AND the graphics and games are so lame! The "sounds" are really sick, I mean how often can you listen to someone being stabbed or strangled? Why would you want to? The only good screensaver is a demented clown, but again, the graphics left me wanting SO much more! And the screensavers--forget it. They range from crappy animation to again, really queasy and mysoginist! What kind of person wants to see a woman stabbed over and over agian as she struggles for help? And you can see this scene played out in every room of the house! Yech! Don't get uppity, I AM a King fan, but this collection of sickness, plus a TOTALLY mediocre story are a big time and money waste!

Don't blink... you'll miss it

Very short, games looks like they are from about 10 years ago, the only thing that makes it somewhat worthwhile is the story. One word.... STUPID.

not a game

I loved "Everything's Eventual" and the entire three stars are for the short story. The Screen Savers and games are mediocre at best. My 8 year old nephew was not impressed. Would have preferred the book all by itself.

It's about time...

Don't expect miraculous things from this... but both myself and my daughter (my PC & her Imac) can share this, which is great, and the main point is FUN! And it is just that: I am currently enjoying the Bumps & Thumps soundbytes as well as the scrensavers and the hearse that's my current background this week. My 13 year-old had a blast (laughing so hard- it was great!) with the Whack-A-Zombie game. It's harmless and a good time. I would have wished for more sounds and more varied ones at that, but overall, we're enjoying it quite a bit. Thanks, Stephen.

For those of you who aren't familiar with F-13, it is a complition of games, screen savers, scary sounds, backdrops, and a short story. My favorite backdrop is the cemetery. I tried using the screensavers (It's just lightning was my favorite.) and had memory problems on both my Performa and my iMac. Any suggestions out there? There are oodles of scary sounds, some of which grossed me out. The games are good too. Whack-a-Zombie is challenging and very addictive. I liked the variety of the ghouls in this game. Bug Splat is somewhat addicting and very gory. No Swimming was fun for five minutes, but then got a little boring after the fifth cow got eaten. More variety could've been used with that game.Everything's Eventual was very good. I won't spoil the plot for you. You will just have to go out and buy it for yourself.

Great stuff!

The games are great, and "Everything's Eventual" is another of Stephen King's wonderful made-up stories. It was a new experience for me to read one of his books on the computer, but I managed. Later on, I'll have a review of his latest one, "Riding the Bullet". Until then....

A Stephen King Fan Must-Have

As Stephen King's Number One Fan (wink, wink), I can only say how awesome it is to have Stephen King's F13 running on my computer. It's gory graphics and creepy sounds are just what I'd expect from the "king of horror". My particularly favorite feature is having Stephen King in a corner of my screen clacking away at a new story in real-time. That and a new (lengthy) short story. I won't give too much away, but it is one of his creepier ones. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

great graphics and sound

they could have included more sound bytes to export for other uses on your computer, but overall this is a well-put-together piece of software. the screensavers are wonderful (the guy sleeping with all the king-esque things going on around him is the best, in my opinion), and the inclusion of a king short story is just icing on the cake.

Know what you're buying!

For the few people that complain that F13 is not a real game--read the reviews, preview the package BEFORE you buy--if you were expecting a full-length, feature game then you only have yourself to blame! It's evident that it's a time-killer rather than the standard computer game. However, for true Stephen King fans (and for those who love to find new ways to kill time at the computer), this is a must have. Great features, lots of fun...and purely King.
