facts, though i can imagine that SLX may have not had a stellar experience with it. admittedly when i first picked up Haunting, i didnt know wtf to do, but then i figured it out, and when i did i went from "hmmm" to "woo!".
ZAMN was always annoying to me on genesis because of this horrible enemy hit noise it makes. Purely because of the sound, I always ended up playing the SNES version of that one, even though I far preferred the Genesis as a console overall.
I’m quite surprised there was no mention of Haunting Staring Polterguy. I always saw it as one of the best hidden gems on this system and a horror classic overall. One of the most unique games on the system, if not ever
Though it's not a horror game, Eternal Champions always struck me as a macabre experience. All the characters are people who suffered tragic deaths and they have to kill each other to have a shot at redemption. Bleak stuff
Oddly enough, Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) didn't appeared in any Ghostbusters game until Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Dev: Terminal Reality; Publisher: Atari Interactive & Mad Dog Games - 2009 & 2019 Remaster).
Winston Zeddemore = ''I've only been with the company for a few weeks and let me tell ya I have seen shit that will turn you white!''. Always loved that line from him.
You put in the end music from altered beast . It's my favorite. When I was little I used my Sony waterproof yellow boombox to tape it so I could rock out to it in secret in my room
I had chakan as a kid, and I seem to remember that if you played on practice mode, you had access to all the different sword powers from the start of the game. It's the only way I ever played the game.
Happy Halloween everybody! I sure wish they would hurry up and get my Genesis Mini 2 here already so I can try out this Ooze game...and of course play the others. That Space Harrier 2 ending credits song you play has me itching to try the new version that ships with the Genesis Mini 2. Finally, Some 16-bit Space Harrier with real scaling. ;)
I always pop in The Haunting with PoulterGuy during the Halloween season. It has more of a fit with the holiday seeing how I play Bloodlines, Chakan, and Decap Attack anytime of the day lol
Another fun game to play during Halloween would be "Haunting: Starring Polter-guy", which involves being able to play as a ghostly skateboarder whose objective is to scare away a sleazy businessman and his family out of their home by possessing various objects in many spooky yet hilarious ways. In fact, if there ever was a proper video game based on "Beetlejuice" to be made, that is how it would definitely be played. XD
Splatterhouse 2 is still one of my favourites just from the aesthetic stand point. It oozes that 80s era of horror. Can't wait to start making a spiritual successor to it
Great picks! There was a game where you possess stuff in a house to chase the new tenants away. That was always one of my favs! Never owned it though and blanking on the name!
Sega Lord X and Game Sack are the crème de la crème of the retro gaming community, both earned a spot on my mount Rushmore… You have the ability to make long videos and keep us wanting more, never enough!
Great video as always, my lord, and happy Halloween!! P.S. Just needs a bit more of the Haunting: Starring Poulterguy (a criminally underrated game, imo).
I really, really enjoy this channel. Tbh I couldn't stand my Saturn, but I also can't think of two consoles I loved more than my Genesis and Dreamcast. Cheers!
Such high quality content bro. Appreciate you to the point I just started supporting you on Patreon! You always deliver well-researched games and great gameplay footage. Very very few retro channels like yours. Thank you 🙏
Not to take anything away from the greatness that is Mutant League but around this time of the year I always give Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl a few rounds.
Great list. I'd like to throw in my two cents and recommend The Curse of Illmoore Bay. You play as one of 3 kids fighting ghoulies in a haunted suburbia and collecting Halloween candy along the way. It's a great platformer and it was released recently for the Genesis/MD.
Even though they probably weren’t as good as the original game I was glad the genesis got splatterhouse 2 and 3 exclusive to the console. I’m personally a big fan of the series
Good list! Castlevania Bloodlines is one of my favorites on the Genesis! It always scratches my itch for classic 16-bit action! Another underrated "spooky" game I also recommend is The Addams Family. You travel around a spooky house as Gomez to save your family. I actually didn't know Demons of Asteborg had finally been released. I've been really looking forward to playing that one! It looks like an excellent 16-bit action game!
- ghosts'n'goblins: so, you know what challenge you are in yes, I know: playthrough contest throughout all the halloween night where first your friend beats this game in something like 15 minutes, and then gives you the gamepad and watching your suffering and tryharding X) And overall - really great game set! Know every title here, nothing new, but, hell, all of them are damn good to be remembered from time to time!
I am developing a game that is heavily inspired by Demon's Crest, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and Metroid. Hopefully people play it yearly once it is finished haha.
I've always felt that Splatter House 3 was the best in the series because of it's switch to a more traditional beat em up and it's plot. Anyways, Happy Halloween to everyone
Solid list! I’ll definitely be playing most of these. Missing about 5 off the list. Ghostbusters, the immortal, zombies are my neighbors and the ooze. Oh and the new Demons game. I’ll add them to the collection at some point….hopefully lol
wow, you havent played ZAMN? definitely a must play, in the least you can get the roms for your PC and see if you dig the games right now. after all retro gaming is very expensive and that isnt looking to go down anytime soon.
Happy Halloween everyone! I really enjoyed the video, but I think 'Haunting: starring Polterguy' would also have been a great fit. I hope you have a lovely time with the family 🎃
Not a Sega game but Earthbound maybe the scariest 16-bit game. The way the game goes from Charlie Brown to Twin Peaks was just shocking in the early 90s
Good to see my on field and on ice triumphs make the cut. Mutant League forever! 🎃 Don't sleep on Haunting Starring Polterguy. No Mutant League but great fun.
I'm going to be on the look out for them crazy sports titles pretty sure I rented the football back in the day.was waiting on your Halloween list an u didn't let down awesome video x
Finally got myself a Genesis (model 2) just after Halloween. Own 3 games for it now, Sonic, Judge Dredd and Wolf Child. This video will help me discover some new games!
Mutant League Hockey is one of my favorite sports games of all time. I love the fact you can make a team who is beating you on the scoreboard forfeit because they lose too many players due to you killing them.
@@timecop808 I also very much enjoyed Hyper Stone Heist more than the arcade version, but the bevy of extra content makes Turtles In Time the best port overall.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is surprisingly very long. I had a copy decades ago, but I never finish tye game. The difficulty ramps up quickly by the fourth level ("Chainsaw Hedge Mayhem"). The password system was also both good and bad: good because they were short and allowed players to advance, but bad because they only appeared every four levels. I also had Ghostbusters. That was one of the first Genesis games I ever played. I still remember the steps and items required to beat each case and boss.
Demons of Asteborg Looks cool I am glad it's available on other consoles and PC. I almost beat splatterhouse 2 on Wii VC Managed to get to the final level the part where you throw happens at a monster while being on a boat. Good video happy Halloween. 🦇🎃👻
Another great video man and its not tipis its pronounced "tepesh" :') keep up the good work man and easy on the saturn games u know that ur the reason the sega saturn got a resurgence and the prices are goin crazy :P dont get me wrong its not a blame its the proof that ur doin a good job on ur videos...
My favs were Warlock which also coincided with the movie Warlock 2 because of the runes. Loved playing as the villain. Altered Beast is also a game I never pass up to play even though it’s purely nostalgia from when I was a kid playing in the arcade. A couple others made this list, but I’d never seen Zombies Ate my Neighbors on genesis before this video. I’d only played the snes version.
Nice video and games mentioned! I also thought Devil Crash MD (Dragon's Fury in the West) , Gynoug, Undeadline, Devilish and Mamono Hunter Yōko: Dai 7 no Keishō could also be added to the list (great music in these games as well).
What! No ''Sonic Halloween''? Since ''Demons Of Asteborg'' was added in and it wasn't a retail game from the Mega Drive's official lifespan I was surprised this Sonic hack didn't make the list. In all seriousness, it's a good list man. There were some others that could easily have made the list aswell like Blades Of Vengeance, Risky Woods, Jewel Master and maybe Wolfchild? On top of the one's mentioned in your video description.
Yeah surprised the The Haunting : Polterguy was not on there, it was the first game I thought of other than Zombies ate my Neighbours for me personally. The Mutant League Hockey/Football was a nice "twist" to games we normally associate with Halloween. The new release of Demons of Asteborg was a good shout but I think The Curse of Illmoore Bay is a great little side scroller platformer with horror elements.
Thanks for reminding me of The Immortal I used to play it on Sega channel and I couldn't remember what it was called I was always amazed how gory it was
Just finally dedicated the time to beat Splatterhouse 3, and really had a good time. The cut scenes are fantastic and it’s not too difficult to get through and get the best ending. Could’ve used a tad more enemy variety but it was certainly a great time.
@SegalordX Have you heard of/plan on checking out the staiater for the Sega saturn. It's the closest thing to emulating the entire Saturn library on the console with no mods.
That bloodlines soundtrack is just on point !
Good to see the channel still going, watched from the start. Love the atmosphere of genesis horror
Thank you. Appreciate the message.
another case of "Genesis Does What NintenDONT".
Another great Halloween classic is the haunting starring polterguy. Fun point and click for the Genesis
How did you miss The Haunting starring Polterguy???
I was about to type that but seen your comment. Great game for Halloween
He included it as an honorable mention in the video description, along with a few others.
awsome game when you get the hang of it
I was waiting for it as well
Loved that game. Such a great blockbuster rental for a weekend
Great video! I thought Haunting Starring Polterguy deserved some screen time, but you can't have them all.
Me too!
facts, though i can imagine that SLX may have not had a stellar experience with it. admittedly when i first picked up Haunting, i didnt know wtf to do, but then i figured it out, and when i did i went from "hmmm" to "woo!".
Zombies ate my neighbors and Immortal were always some of my absolute favorites.
ZAMN was always annoying to me on genesis because of this horrible enemy hit noise it makes. Purely because of the sound, I always ended up playing the SNES version of that one, even though I far preferred the Genesis as a console overall.
@@teddym2808 The man aint lying.
Immortal kinda sucks.
@@monotech20.14 how so
Just when i had about forgotten about Immortal...... *phones his Psychologist.*
Happy Halloween Sega fans 🎃🐢🐢
⚡️🎃☠️🎃☠️🎃⚡️
Thank you Koopa!
And to you.
Say no to the great reset
Happy halloween too My friend greetings from México
I’m quite surprised there was no mention of Haunting Staring Polterguy. I always saw it as one of the best hidden gems on this system and a horror classic overall. One of the most unique games on the system, if not ever
im shocked
I came here to say exactly this
"You learn that your company has unleashed a killer virus so it can sell the cure."
Too many games feel more like prediction than fantasy.
I always thought Jurassic Park was really scary, with the eerie atmosphere and shrieking dino's.
the intro to Rampage Edition also gives a horror feel, so i say it counts.
The Haunting is another great Halloween game!
it felt, looked, sounded like an awful, crappy, dreadful, garbage, horrible, rubbish, terrible made game for 16 Mbits (megabits)
The best horror game story in my channel visit my channel and see
Though it's not a horror game, Eternal Champions always struck me as a macabre experience. All the characters are people who suffered tragic deaths and they have to kill each other to have a shot at redemption. Bleak stuff
Oddly enough, Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) didn't appeared in any Ghostbusters game until Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Dev: Terminal Reality; Publisher: Atari Interactive & Mad Dog Games - 2009 & 2019 Remaster).

Ooze is kind of like an interesting pre cursor to carrion decades later.
You put in the end music from altered beast . It's my favorite. When I was little I used my Sony waterproof yellow boombox to tape it so I could rock out to it in secret in my room
i would also add The Haunting starting Polterguy. always a good time. thanks for the content as as always :)
Thanks for watching it.
I had chakan as a kid, and I seem to remember that if you played on practice mode, you had access to all the different sword powers from the start of the game. It's the only way I ever played the game.
There's also a rom hack called Ultimate Chakan that makes this the default. It also tones down the difficulty and makes you jump higher.
You've just educatede I had my idea about this
The Haunting starring Polterguy should have been mentioned here. Surprised it wasn't.
Happy Halloween everybody! I sure wish they would hurry up and get my Genesis Mini 2 here already so I can try out this Ooze game...and of course play the others. That Space Harrier 2 ending credits song you play has me itching to try the new version that ships with the Genesis Mini 2. Finally, Some 16-bit Space Harrier with real scaling. ;)
this channel......seeing me through !!! thankyou SLX
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoy it.
I always pop in The Haunting with PoulterGuy during the Halloween season. It has more of a fit with the holiday seeing how I play Bloodlines, Chakan, and Decap Attack anytime of the day lol

I love these, and I like the fact somebody is porting Dark Stalkers arcade to Genesis.
One game I thought you would mention is haunting staring polterguy, what a fun game. I wonder if you ever had the chance to play that
Many times. I just wanted to cover these this time.
Thanks for sharing bud! Happy Halloween everybody!
My birthday today 🎈😁
Love this channel
Splatterhouse 2 is still one of my favourites just from the aesthetic stand point. It oozes that 80s era of horror. Can't wait to start making a spiritual successor to it
Happy Halloween, Everyone! Sega Lord X, I'm loving the new content lately. Wonderful work, and I hope to see more for the Sega Genesis!
Thanks! Happy Halloween.
Great picks! There was a game where you possess stuff in a house to chase the new tenants away. That was always one of my favs! Never owned it though and blanking on the name!
Thanks For The Recommendations, Dude! I'm always on the lookout for New (to Me) Goodies, and I have a particular fondness for Hidden Gems!
Just happened upon your channel and I'm hooked dude.Hitting the nostalgia hard.

This is the best Halloween treat ever thanks sega lord x I enjoyed it take care and hope you had great Halloween your fan Eric
My Genesis mini 2 arrived today. I had to watch something on your channel to celebrate.
I love the variety. Great selections, SLX. I love the variety and appreciate the suggestions for Halloween! Have a happy one!
Thank you! You too!
Such high quality content bro. Appreciate you to the point I just started supporting you on Patreon! You always deliver well-researched games and great gameplay footage. Very very few retro channels like yours. Thank you 🙏
I'm huge fan of your channel! I'm glad you still making Genesis games video! and this video is pretty straightforward to me!
I really like your channel. I watch it since 3 years now
Not to take anything away from the greatness that is Mutant League but around this time of the year I always give Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl a few rounds.
Eternal Champions was an awesome game. Backgrounds had fatalities. Good fighting game
Great list. I'd like to throw in my two cents and recommend The Curse of Illmoore Bay. You play as one of 3 kids fighting ghoulies in a haunted suburbia and collecting Halloween candy along the way. It's a great platformer and it was released recently for the Genesis/MD.

Swing and a miss, Lord X !
I just recently came across your channel and have been binge watching the crap out of your videos. Excellent work, as always!

yes, I know: playthrough contest throughout all the halloween night where first your friend beats this game in something like 15 minutes, and then gives you the gamepad and watching your suffering and tryharding X)
And overall - really great game set! Know every title here, nothing new, but, hell, all of them are damn good to be remembered from time to time!
After all the years I’m still discovering games I’ve near heard of like the ooze.
You should do a "Best Rainy Day" games
Genesis has a ton...I nominate Shinobi 3 and Thunder Force 2 for starters
I am developing a game that is heavily inspired by Demon's Crest, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and Metroid.
Hopefully people play it yearly once it is finished haha.
Super cool episode! ZAMN and Ghouls and Ghosts are always fun.
I've always felt that Splatter House 3 was the best in the series because of it's switch to a more traditional beat em up and it's plot. Anyways, Happy Halloween to everyone

Just in time I'm playing Splatterhouse 2 on my Genesis, thanks!
One of my favorites.
Splatter house was so dope
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a pretty decent game.
Not a Sega game but Earthbound maybe the scariest 16-bit game. The way the game goes from Charlie Brown to Twin Peaks was just shocking in the early 90s
Aww sega lord x you never fail what a way to go with Halloween. Happy Halloween to you and the family
Same to you!
Good to see my on field and on ice triumphs make the cut. Mutant League forever! 🎃

Agreed!
Thank you for the excellent content SLX
Glad you enjoy it!
Nice to see The Ooze getting some love! I prefer the Genesis Ghouls'n Ghosts over the arcade one, am I crazy? :D Happy Halloween All'
Nope not crazy at all because when it comes to TMNT: Turtles In Time, I prefer the SNES version over the arcade one.
@@mrlaidback83 Same here, SNES for sure.
@@mrlaidback83 same, all these years later and it's still a fantastic game with great music!
@@timecop808 I also very much enjoyed Hyper Stone Heist more than the arcade version, but the bevy of extra content makes Turtles In Time the best port overall.
@@miguelroman4294 agreed and it's probably one of my favorite SNES games of all time.
Glad Decap Attack is getting some love on Halloween. It's such a great platformer when you give it the time it deserves.
Nice to see Demons of Astebourg in here - it’s a great title and was well worth the price IMO.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is surprisingly very long. I had a copy decades ago, but I never finish tye game. The difficulty ramps up quickly by the fourth level ("Chainsaw Hedge Mayhem").

Demons of Asteborg
Looks cool I am glad it's available on other consoles and PC.
I almost beat splatterhouse 2 on Wii VC
Managed to get to the final level the part where you throw happens at a monster while being on a boat.
Good video happy Halloween. 🦇🎃👻

Haunting!!! How could you not add Haunting??
Seeing a new video from you always puts a smile on my face ☺ 👍
Glad to hear it. Thank you.
Always loved Halloween!🎃
As a Nintendo kid growing up then going over to playstation, I used to lend my cousins my ps1 in exchange for their sega genesis.
My favs were Warlock which also coincided with the movie Warlock 2 because of the runes. Loved playing as the villain. Altered Beast is also a game I never pass up to play even though it’s purely nostalgia from when I was a kid playing in the arcade. A couple others made this list, but I’d never seen Zombies Ate my Neighbors on genesis before this video. I’d only played the snes version.
Splatterhouse was my first tought, when i saw the title of your video.
Solid list, warts and all.
Nice video and games mentioned! I also thought Devil Crash MD (Dragon's Fury in the West) , Gynoug, Undeadline, Devilish and Mamono Hunter Yōko: Dai 7 no Keishō could also be added to the list (great music in these games as well).
Lord X just rushed the video out to cash in on the moment... I'd also add Psycho Pinball as the Trick or Treat table is perfect for the occasion!! 😉
👍 to the new on-screen effects
I like them as well.
I love your channel.
What! No ''Sonic Halloween''? Since ''Demons Of Asteborg'' was added in and it wasn't a retail game from the Mega Drive's official lifespan I was surprised this Sonic hack didn't make the list.

Yeah surprised the The Haunting : Polterguy was not on there, it was the first game I thought of other than Zombies ate my Neighbours for me personally.
The Mutant League Hockey/Football was a nice "twist" to games we normally associate with Halloween.

We ready for that genesis mini 2 review sega lord!!
Thank you for your selection :)
Oh man, I had forgotten all about Chakan. That just brought back some memories.
Thanks for reminding me of The Immortal I used to play it on Sega channel and I couldn't remember what it was called I was always amazed how gory it was

No Altered Beast mention, just the Altered Beast ending song, good one
As a "best of" episode, Altered Beast missed the boat. I still wanted to pay homage, though.
@SegalordX Have you heard of/plan on checking out the staiater for the Sega saturn. It's the closest thing to emulating the entire Saturn library on the console with no mods.

I loved Bloodlines, ALIEN 3- and Zombies ate my Neighbors- and Splatter House 2- 3 Also. Nice selection.
Thanks for the vid SLX
