Dr. Neurosis in the intro. }}

An interactive movie game similar to ''[[Dragon's Lair]]'' and ''[[Space Ace]]''. As in those games, you have to input commands at the right time during the movie or face sudden death, and have to retry. Compared to ''Dragon's Lair'', ''[[Brain Dead 13]]'' gives the player slightly more time to make decisions and actually tells you when you entered a wrong command (instead of killing you, as Dragon's Lair does), but there's much less of an idea of what you're supposed to do and when (and some of the inputs are downright counterintuitive). Combine that with [[Everything Trying to Kill You]] and you've got yourself a challenge.

You star as computer fixit Lance, who is hired on a routine repair job to the creepy old castle just outside town, but discovers that he's been tricked into fixing the computer of [[Mad Scientist]] Dr. Neurosis, who now plans on using his master server to take over the world. Unfortunately for Lance, he makes the mistake of [[Lampshade Hanging|pointing out how cliche]] Neurosis' plot is, which, of course, doesn't exactly go over well. Lance finds himself on the run from the doctor's psychotic henchman, Fritz, and now has to find his way through the oddly large castle, fight the various other villains who live there, make it back to Neurosis' computer and shut it down, taking out Neurosis for good.
