Wow, this game is a masterpiece. Graphics are excellent with terrifying monsters and vicious gore effects, haunting music and simple but fun gameplay. It even has a tragic story and ending. It feels like a classic horror movie.
Well this was never released on the Genesis, but yeah the Turbografx16 version was censored a little bit but not much. Now the Splatterhouse 2 and 3 for the Genesis were bloodbath gore filled fun, no punched were pulled on those.
The credits roll was always solemn. Love the way the mask shatters, Rick just stands there, then the awesome song starts as the credits roll. You just feel the weight of what he'd lost at that moment. Freedom, but at the cost of his love.
This was by far my fave arcade game as a 15 year old (Along with Burning Rubber) and I got so good at it I could complete it without losing a single heart..to this day one of my greatest achievements 😂 Im 49 next week so thanks for bringing back some great memories 👍🏻
I don't think I ever saw this in an arcade back in the day but my uncle had the Turbo Grafx 16 version and as a scared four year old I would head for another room. Over a decade later I would play it and I loved it. The terrifying atmosphere, the gratuitous gore, the nerve-racking music and even the surprisingly compelling narrative all convalesce into a timeless experience. This game is masterpiece and a fantastic achievement for the medium in the time it was made. What I would give for an indie developer to make a horror action side scroller in a similar graphical style. Maybe I ought to do the job myself.
Go for it! On a completely unrelated note, I actually find the TurboGrafx 16 version is better. The music provides a creepier atmosphere, and the extra heart is very helpful. The red mask looks more distinct than the white one as well.
My dad had an arcade cabinet of this he picked up at a pawn shop or something. He pulled the guts out of the lockbox and rigged a doorbell button up so that you could just slap it for credits. I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I put into this game as a kid. I haven't touched it in 20 years and can probably still speedrun it from memory. Good times.
This game was a pain in my sides when I was a kid. The cool but unsettling music, the horryfing stages, the disturbing enemies... Even when I have had experience with this sort of horror, it still left an impression on me when I first saw it.
Whats cool is my uncle grew up playing this with his buddies and he and I were playin it on my switch and when he saw it he was like holy crap, splatterhouse! I was like wait you played this when you were younger and hes like hell yeah. It still looks as cool as it did when it came out
@QUAD_RETURNS - Everything that isn't total agreement and capitulation is "intolerant" these days. I'm just surprised you weren't called a racist and bigot too... :D
What I loved best about this game was the devious little traps the game would set for you once you thought you were in the clear. The last worm flying out of the corpse, the falling chandelier, the exploding heart....great stuff!!
This is an absolute legend of a game, literally spent all my pocket money trying to complete it and failed. I’ve now seen where I was going wrong. Thank for sharing, this is amazing
In the lore the house was not there before....And several college student's vanished in this cursed aera no one could figure it out until one night after a moive shoot that rick stared in he left with his gf and took a wroug turn..._you know the rest.....Check out spatterhouse waku graffiti
Imagine the one you love being turned into a hideous monster, you are forced to fight and kill her. That rage, that unbearable rage boiling your blood. I can feel it
Used to be able to complete this in the arcade without dying. Downloaded it on mame not so long ago and after a few goes, complete it one credit. Quite a few games from back in the days like that was an achievement.
Gods, but this game was amazing - the innovation in the enemies; the multiple routes, terrifying samples... it had it all. And for 1988, when most arcade titles were still just jerky primary colours. One of the greatest side-scrolling hitters of all time. 🧟♂️🧟♂️👌👌👌👌
My favorite fight has got to be the battle with the Inverted Cross. The reason I say is that after you defeat it, a pretty hymn starts to play and rick walks over to an altar and hesitates until the hymn is finished.
Originally, Rick and Jennifer were college students in parapsychology. They were to do a thesis on Dr. West and his mysterious disappearance...by going to his house. Yeah. I know. Brilliant idea.
Severin Dahl you don’t know his age. Why would you assume that he’s too young to have played this game when it first came out? Or maybe he just played this game a few years ago. Nothing wrong with that bro.
This game is sole reason why I bought the Namco Arcade bundle from the Switch e-shop... All the other games were a bonus. This game is awesome! Tough as nails and imagery still scary.
That's really fucking dark to make her an innocent victim who doesn't get to come back. I almost wish she hadn't been rescued in the sequel just to preserve that. On its own, there's no happy ending here, unlike a lot of other games.
I kinda agree but...they still nailed it with the plot of the sequel. “She doesn’t need to die Rick”. The two main characters merely pawns in a power game between two malevolent supernatural forces.
Honestly its really cool that they made it that way cause not every story has a good engine. Some of them only end badly. As much as I dont like bad endings I have to admit its just part of life and sometimes its a better way to tell a story than having a good ending. I wrote a short story in highschool about a kid whos girlfriend was murdered by gang members and he goes on a one man rampage in the city to kill as many as he can and his best friend comes to help him but he gets gunned down and in his dying moments he hands his friend her necklace and says bury us under the tree and please never forget me. Tell everyone im sorry.
They tried a modern redo of it. It didn't work out as well. It didn't have the variety the old games had though they did really try to give it a good B-movie feel.
Original? Nothing it's Original in this Game O.S.T. is copied from Fabio Frizzi e Walter Rizzati works, Italian Horror Movies... The Carachter is a rip off of Jason Voorhees, the Boss are various resemblaces with Poltergeist or Evil Dead or House by Cemetery himself (The Most derubated) Bah
@@brittanybecker170I don’t know the B movie aspect of the first 3 games were what made these games so cool, 2010 feels like they tried to mix Resident evil, Dmc, and Doom and I feel that’s what killed it.
fun fact: usually in these late 80s early 90s namco arcade games, there would be a message from the devs at the end congratulating you for finishing the game this game ommits that which is AMAZING attention to detail for an arcade game
I loved playing this game in the arcade! Graphics, music and sound were so 80s style but very entertaining! I'm gonna get the Switch version of this soon. I can't wait to play it again!!
I remember finishing this game in the arcade - ONCE! I could never finish it again, always got destroyed on the last level.... you make this look easy now. Thanks for the memories.
01:40,I remember that chick in the cage since I was a kid.What the hell she was doing, I'll never know.She kept spreading her legs open and waving her hands back and forth.Surprised that was allowed in the arcade since you can see up her dress when she opens her legs.
This was also in the era of pre SJW so most teens didn't really care that much about content like that and "adults" didn't go to arcades so they never saw it.
@@loka7783 "adults" seem to be the ones who bitch and whine over untamed content more than anyone else until the companies remove it from anyone else who could enjoy more violent, gothic ideas.

@@Absolutely_puck_fakestine Hey, at least give me a rhyming troll riddle first, so I can cross the internet bridge. something...like... "To pass to the next website you see, you must answer this rhyming riddle for me," and so on and so forth. Haha. lol
Look up a game called "Chiller". If that could fly(Though only barely) in America during 1986, this could've done fairly well, in spite of it being only in Japan.
80's were a time when horror movies were not afraid to show you lots of blood and intestines, alongside with some partial nudes, a game like this was not strange for those times.
I love how mixed in with the gothic horror style enemies, the game also has random mundane objects attacking you like chairs and picture frames. I guess no one told Namco furniture isn't particularly scary.
i was a kid playing this game and i always just figured it was supposed to be Jason one thing missing though no machete's used as weapons in this game they knew exactly what they were doing they made this game were we could play as a Jason type character but not really jason it was a marketing ploy they seemed to have gotten away with it to lol PS Had there been a machete in this game it would have been jason 100% yet strange hes kinda the hero in this game
dante bigguy Most gaming companies are trying to turn all their games into 3D and just because a game is 3D that does not make the game more entertaining for the players. Look at the most successful games on smartphones. None are 3D
dante bigguy yes yes i have but that doesnt mean anything. ive played ms pacman and wasted 10 bucks on it. it certenly makes the game better but once you play it without paying they get boring. yes theres a feeling of excitement knowing you only have so many quarters or so few lifes left but im good with not paying so much for a game.
i love when arcades does this, in this way it attracts more people and encourages them to play the game since a "noob" can play it without problems, and makes them think "i can beat the guy from the demo, im not going to be like him" and spend more money on the machine :P
Its funny how James and Mike struggled with this game and this guy is beating it easily Wonder how many times he practiced this to get trough without getting killed once
It's not that hard compared to other arcade games. I struggled with the Jennifer and Womb bosses a little as a kid but was able to learn the patterns. Splatterhouse 2 for the Genesis is much harder if I recall.
those writhing, vomiting, and tormented beings in stage 2 could be how the captives in stage 1 appear following whatever insanity their subjected to by Dr. West. The poor sods are reduced to shells that writhe, vomit, scream, and this loops endlessly, showing they’re somehow alive. It’s possible that their minds are gone though, thus making them ‘dead’ in some sense. West’s that vicious, and it’s shown by how he keeps his experiments alive in a show of pure sadomasochism
Wow it's like taking a trip down memory lane I can remember so many times walking to middle school and stopping at the convenience store and dropping a few of my lunch money quarters in there..!👍
I remember playing this game back when I was a freshman in Highschool in 1988-89. I freaking loved this game because it was so hard & yet looked so simple. Like the person that released this video walk-through. They hardly ever take any damage through these levels which is very annoying but satisfying at the same time. I never got past level 6 cause I would run out of lives when I played it on my Turbo Grafx-16 back in the day. Now I play it on my Nintendo Switch through the Namco Museum video arcade bundle I purchased. Maybe now I can finally get past level 6. Also was there anyone else who found out how to slide the Rick Taylor masked character by accident while fighting in the game? That's how I came upon the move. I noticed the slide move isn't listed as a move in the game. Just Attack & Jump were the only two maneuvers in the game in 1989 🎮. Even the Nintendo Switch Namco Museum Version has (A) for attack & (B) for Jump. Playing this game brings back so many memories & frustrations because I was 🤬 never good enough to finally rescue Jennifer 😭😭😭😭😭😭Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel now that I've seen this video 📹.. thanks for sharing even though I'm 8 years late to this post.. ha ha 😂
I actually started playing Splatterhouse U.S. today for the first time. Once you beat it all three original Splatterhouse games get unlocked to play. I am really looking forward to this. I hope I will like this kind of gameplay. I was always fascinated by the old arcade style games but to be honest I did not play much of them rather than watching videos about them on UA-cam. I was born in 87 and did not really get into video games until 2002 so I am really not used to this kind of games. I guess either I stop the whole thing after 1 hour or I totally fall in love with it.
So I quit after 30 minutes. I could not even beat the first stage. :) Funny, if I had been born some years earlier I am sure I would not have become a gamer at all.

15:28 Jennifer dying and saying thank you and goodbye is genuinely touching, especially for such a simple game.
The first time I played this game i was like this a great game with something to fight for
I think that was just some monster fucking with Ricky by pretending to be Jennifer.
@@genericedgyinternetuser4930I think it is the real Jennifer
@@genericedgyinternetuser4930she was dead in splatterhouse 2 so that was the real jenny
Wait, she died? Oh no 😢 I never understood what she said at the end because of crappy speakers and arcade noise.
3:36 That skeleton in the bag always cracks me up, he looks so comfy and happy.
🤣🤣🤣
I can practically hear him shouting bone puns in a nasally voice.
Papyrus's sleeping
The observation of the millennium 😁
He's probably still there not giving a fuck, as long as he's in his bag he's a comfy and happy skeleton.
Whoever is playing this absolutely know what they're doing.
No doubt. I used to get my ass beat by this game 😅
Correct, it's far from easy
@@adamharris7727 me too, even to this day

But it's hard as fuck 2 me
No doubt
Wow, this game is a masterpiece. Graphics are excellent with terrifying monsters and vicious gore effects, haunting music and simple but fun gameplay. It even has a tragic story and ending. It feels like a classic horror movie.
Yeah, but in the sequel you find out that Jennifer wasn't really dead, she was trapped in some limbo.
Gore was definately turned up in the arcade version. Compared to the sega genesis.
Well this was never released on the Genesis, but yeah the Turbografx16 version was censored a little bit but not much.
Now the Splatterhouse 2 and 3 for the Genesis were bloodbath gore filled fun, no punched were pulled on those.
Yusuf It was quite the experience back in the day. And very scary, as no other game was like it at the time.
this makes me sleepy
Kudos to the player for going to Jennifer's side during her in between transformations. I think most of us who did repeated playthroughs did the same.
The credits roll was always solemn. Love the way the mask shatters, Rick just stands there, then the awesome song starts as the credits roll. You just feel the weight of what he'd lost at that moment. Freedom, but at the cost of his love.

Play Outlast and phasophobia

Yeah a great way to get more change out of you
They are beginner's traps, this is a coin-op after all
Soooo many memories, I remember watching my older friends playing this when I was a kid. This game gave me the chills
Damn, this game still looks pretty scary.
S I N I S T E R C L A N this make me a coward in the dark
It was pretty much the scariest thing people saw in 1988.
Tell that to the background music and blood
And that was
This game is scary AF it scared the shit out of me

so what we have learned from this video kids?
Never enter stranger's house, you will never know what is waiting for u inside.
Shallon:I say go in that house!
Toot Tooti then this game wouldn't even existed you piece of shit
Yup that is a good lesson

It’s okay for Jason to do it though xd

Yes. Small victory for Heaven.
The inverted cross is commonly mistaken for a symbol of the antichrist but its actually a symbol for St. Peter
If Cannibal Corpse made an arcade game, this would probably be it.
halarious!
Hell yea brother \m/
"I'M A GROOVER!"
-Master Dead
"WRATHFIRE!"
-Hell Chaos, Last boss
Sounds more like
"I'M GROOVIN'!

Dam right...that game we got in 2010 was just trash.....not bad but just did not meet what we were expecting

i mean if a chair wanted you dead id be pretty scared of it
It’s called a poltergeist
11:00+ lol the hands on the floor are showing middle fingers XD
That's from Evil Dead. Ash's possessed hands.
Looks more like beckoning..like the 'come here' gesture..with the..fore...finger?
actually they're telling him to come closer. clearly they're not using the middle finger.

I like how the lead hero is basically a dead ringer for Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th flicks! ;)
That's why they change the colour of his mask later on, I believe its red.
Or if I mistook this game for another one.
MrOmegaBeams no you're not wrong the mask and the 4th level boss were changed to avoid copyright and controversy respectively
Or even H2ODelirious.
i was a kid playing this game and i always just figured it was supposed to be Jason one thing missing though no machete's used as weapons in this game they knew exactly what they were doing they made this game were we could play as a Jason type character but not really jason it was a marketing ploy they seemed to have gotten away with it to lol

Had there been a machete in this game it would have been jason 100% yet strange hes kinda the hero in this game

Jason tearing shit up in the name of love.. As a kid I was twisted.. I was wondering how Jason became a good guy
And settled down with an understanding woman lol
sweetcinnamonpnchkin Word... Without zipping up a body bag and beating her against a tree
SDS Overfiend I thought that was how she liked it?
sweetcinnamonpnchkin Rick is a lil too rough tho lol
Finally finds a girl he can bring home to mother and this happens....
man back when gaming was gaming, kids nowadays don't know what gaming is.
dante bigguy how so? how is this different than modern gaming? apart from the platforming?
dante bigguy
Most gaming companies are trying to turn all their games into 3D and just because a game is 3D that does not make the game more entertaining for the players.
Look at the most successful games on smartphones. None are 3D
Juan Alejos
talking about trying to beat the game on one quarter or 3 lives. ever play games that way before?
dante bigguy yes yes i have but that doesnt mean anything. ive played ms pacman and wasted 10 bucks on it. it certenly makes the game better but once you play it without paying they get boring. yes theres a feeling of excitement knowing you only have so many quarters or so few lifes left but im good with not paying so much for a game.
Juan Alejos
man you must suck at games then. lol
Even tho the slashing sounds are so cheap they sound super satisfying
A precursor to Doom 4, in that it's a horror game where the monsters are afraid of YOU
Thank u for this memory as a kid, i used to play this game at arcade. Love it!
i love how the demo plays the game like a pathetic noob unlike other arcade games.
any buddy notice that ric look like jason
He does look like Jason vorhees with that mask on.
+Saturday night live i thought he looked like rick from the walking dead.
sounds like a 3-6 beat on 7:08
i love when arcades does this, in this way it attracts more people and encourages them to play the game since a "noob" can play it without problems, and makes them think "i can beat the guy from the demo, im not going to be like him" and spend more money on the machine :P
That "fuck yeah, eat that" slide at 6:50
11:38 I love these severed hands, just ey, ey, rick fxxk you! This game is an absolute blood covered gem.
Its funny how James and Mike struggled with this game and this guy is beating it easily
Wonder how many times he practiced this to get trough without getting killed once
+RobertAniFreak They played the Genesis version though so I don't know how different it is.
+River Phoenix: Well, to be fair, the Genesis/Mega Drive games are direct sequels, not ports.
+River Phoenix They played the first one on TurboGrafx-16.
yea they never made the first one for genesis
It's not that hard compared to other arcade games. I struggled with the Jennifer and Womb bosses a little as a kid but was able to learn the patterns. Splatterhouse 2 for the Genesis is much harder if I recall.
The intro to Stage 4 is the most peaceful song you will ever hear in this entire series. A sort of momentary rest before the nightmare continues.
The one right before the Jennifer fight is peaceful too, and the one at the altar.
It was terribly overused in the Turbo-Grafix 16/PC Engine version
I like how it sounds in the other console.
The final boss sounded like he was saying black fire
those writhing, vomiting, and tormented beings in stage 2 could be how the captives in stage 1 appear following whatever insanity their subjected to by Dr. West. The poor sods are reduced to shells that writhe, vomit, scream, and this loops endlessly, showing they’re somehow alive. It’s possible that their minds are gone though, thus making them ‘dead’ in some sense. West’s that vicious, and it’s shown by how he keeps his experiments alive in a show of pure sadomasochism
15:37 that freak like "haw-haw!"
Wow it's like taking a trip down memory lane I can remember so many times walking to middle school and stopping at the convenience store and dropping a few of my lunch money quarters in there..!👍
I remember playing this game back when I was a freshman in Highschool in 1988-89. I freaking loved this game because it was so hard & yet looked so simple. Like the person that released this video walk-through. They hardly ever take any damage through these levels which is very annoying but satisfying at the same time. I never got past level 6 cause I would run out of lives when I played it on my Turbo Grafx-16 back in the day. Now I play it on my Nintendo Switch through the Namco Museum video arcade bundle I purchased. Maybe now I can finally get past level 6. Also was there anyone else who found out how to slide the Rick Taylor masked character by accident while fighting in the game? That's how I came upon the move. I noticed the slide move isn't listed as a move in the game. Just Attack & Jump were the only two maneuvers in the game in 1989 🎮. Even the Nintendo Switch Namco Museum Version has (A) for attack & (B) for Jump. Playing this game brings back so many memories & frustrations because I was 🤬 never good enough to finally rescue Jennifer 😭😭😭😭😭😭Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel now that I've seen this video 📹.. thanks for sharing even though I'm 8 years late to this post.. ha ha 😂
He looks like a counterpart of Jason Voorhees.
In early 90s, we used to call it the 'Jason game'
I remember being the only kid in town with a turbo graphics 16 👍🏾 games were fun back then .
Holy crap that boss has double chainsaw arms. That's epic.
14:00 This is so depressing.
Woman after they marry
Yeah, I guess the living room is supposed to symbolize that! =D
This is probably the first videogame with a plot that doesn't have a happy ending.
Shaun Zafar but it leads to a sequel that does
That's why I loved Splatterhouse 2. And because it was a better game, of course.
I actually started playing Splatterhouse U.S. today for the first time. Once you beat it all three original Splatterhouse games get unlocked to play. I am really looking forward to this. I hope I will like this kind of gameplay. I was always fascinated by the old arcade style games but to be honest I did not play much of them rather than watching videos about them on UA-cam. I was born in 87 and did not really get into video games until 2002 so I am really not used to this kind of games. I guess either I stop the whole thing after 1 hour or I totally fall in love with it.
So I quit after 30 minutes. I could not even beat the first stage. :) Funny, if I had been born some years earlier I am sure I would not have become a gamer at all.
Sad story for the girl
***** She's probably more a freak in bed then she was on that couch.
watch sp-2
Arkl1te it gets better in parts 2 and 3
You rescue her in the sequel.
the girl is not dead?
the final boss sounds like he's yelling "LET'S GOOOO‼️‼️🗣️" he's so excited to be here 🔥
this game on genesis gave me nightmares. fuck its creepy as fuck
I loved that version! That tune when you have to kill the hanging babies! Omg! Chills!!!
Meh, I've seen worse.
LIKE AMERICAN GOT TALENT SAID, CREEPY IN A GOOD WAY
SonicFighter 09 no you haven't you lying sack of shit. This game was released in 1988 first of it's kind.
Most horror protagonists: My god, such horrible things! How will I ever survive?
Rick: I'm gonna hit this demon with a big fuckin stick
Same thing with Doom.
There's a difference between survival-horror games and slasher-horror games.
5:04 He punches a knife. Yep, he *punches* a KNIFE.
***** I search, there was no quote like that.
yea there is no avgn video for splatterhouse
I slowed it down in case he hit the handle. But nope, just slapped the blade across the room.
AVGN should do a review for Splatterhouse, don't know why it hasn't been done already since James loves the shit out of Horror movies.
"Fuck this knife, fuck that knife, fuck the other knife...and fuck this picture too."
There's no way this was an actual arcade machine dude, I bet this shit was so scary and hype🤩
Oh it’s an arcade game alright! it’s like it’s too amazing to be an arcade game! But it was a quarter eater for sure!
@@allister-malister9179yup played it I can tell it sure dam was lol
Pfffffff old school,the best game 1988
Generation X forever🤘😎
As a Gen Z, I apologize about the stereotypes Gen Z make about Gen X on behalf of Gen Z.
14:25 "Crack! Risso Risso... Crack! Risso Risso!" Lol
Nice job on the play through :D
I absolutely love gory games like this.
Splatterhouse... Looks like hell, sounds like major league baseball!
As a kid I always thought this way Jason from Friday the 13th.
this creeped the shit out of me as a child in the arcade, i was even afraid to get to the corner where the coin-op was (I was 5 :D)
