  • A playthrough of Namco's 1990 horror platform game for the TurboGrafx-16, Splatterhouse.
    This was one of those TG16-exclusives that people wanted to own the system for. For a console game released in the US in 1990, it's pretty shockingly graphic. It's very close to the arcade game, and there are quite a few really uncomfortable images throughout, with a couple of them verging on nauseating, like the bloated, deformed fetus thing dragging itself across the floor, or the hellhound that will get distracted by lapping up the puddle of goo left if you kill something when it's nearby. Good stuff!
    The sequels on the Sega Genesis did improve on it in quite a few ways, but this is the original, and it's a classic for sure.

    This 1990 horror classic really excels at making you feel uncomfortable, and nails some really good gross-out moments. It's also a pretty good game on its own!

    My good friend and I would his much older brothers and their friends play this game back in the day. The moment at 11:53 where the zombie dog eats the remnants of the corpse scared the hell out of us the first time we saw it. This game had us all glued to the tv though, it was unheard of to have a console game that was this full of gore back then. It was awesome.

    At 11:40 is an opportunity for unlimited points. Just keep killing the skeletons every time the witch (warlock?) resurrects them and don't hit the witch. You can keep this up until you get the highest possible score or (more likely) get bored and lose patience.

    I'm reviewing this game as party of my October horror collection, so I'm playing through it for the 1st time. This game is hard AF. The levels are generally really short and you get 5 continues, but damn...it ain't an easy game. I remember renting Splatterhouse 2 on the Genesis almost 30 years ago (holy shit...where did the time go?) and that game was hard, as well. Back then I couldn't ever figure out why I couldn't ever find Splatterhouse 1. They had Splatterhouse 2 and 3 at the video store, but 1 was nowhere to be found! Keep in mind the innernet didn't exist back then...I didn't know 'til years later Splatterhouse 1 was only on the TG16.
