It's Halloween, time to play some Splatterhouse
« on: October 31, 2012, 06:15:32 PM »


Also, what do people here think about splatterhouse 2 and 3 for the Genesis? I've never played them. However, they don't look as good to me from youtube nor does the music.

Splatterhouse 2 and 3 are just as good as pt1, though pt3 takes a different approach concerning the gameplay, and it has a more in depth storyline.

I might have to check them out. From videos the main character looks really weird to me in the 2nd one. Not sure what it is about the music either but I was never partial to the sound the Genesis put out for cartridge games. Maybe the Turbo grew on me at an early age to the point where other 16 bit systems just sounded odd.

nothing comes close to the good old arcade (or if you also want so, Marty) Splatter House. the pce one is still fun, but could have had some more of the arcade one packed in (lots of details are missing, especially the more morbid ones.)

splatter house 2 & 3 are ok, especially SH 2. but have lost a lot of the initial flair, style and atmosphere which SH 1 had.
Therefore I'm a big fan of SH 1, but not so much of SH 2 & 3.

SH 1 was a stroke of genius.

Some people might not know, there was also a Splatterhouse for the Famicom, called Naughty Graffiti.

Definitely worth a play-through.

I've not opened my sealed copy yet, nor do I think I will. Too much value would be lost :(

Arcade version for the true experience.  Turbob Splatter is fun, but besides the lacking details, for me it's all about the sound.  Having the pcb in my cab just sounds so good.  Turbob sound is very weak in comparison....  Here's my old 1 life clear vid on hardest settings by the way.  :)

I really wanted to spend some time last night playing Splatterhouse, along with other horror-themed games, but I was answering the door every 30 seconds the whole night.  And my game room is upstairs.  Oh well.  Gave out like 10 pounds of candy last night...

yeah cause everyone can just roll out a cab and play the real one.

lol.


SH on the Genesis is equally good.

I chose to play Decap Attack.  That game is fun as f*ck

Dang, I shoulda played this one last night.  It would've fit in with Magical Chase a lot better than P-47.
