Mega Splatterhouse Demo
A downloadable game
The original arcade hit SPLATTERHOUSE is coming soon to the Sega Megadrive/Genesis!
MEGA SPLATTERHOUSE™ DEMO
The player controls Rick, a parapsychology student who was murdered by undead monsters on a visit to the West Mansion (Splatterhouse). Resurrected by the "Terror Mask," Rick must kill his way through an army of ghouls and demons in order to rescue his girlfriend.
The place was called the West Mansion. But, to all who knew its legend, it was known as "Splatterhouse." It was once the home of the famed parapsychologist, Dr. West. There was a research lab in the house where Dr. West conducted some of his most gruesome experiments. It was even said that it was in this house that he created the most hideous creatures that ever walked the face of the Earth. But no one knew for sure. Dr. West had not been seen or heard from in years, and no one who has ever gone into the mansion has lived to tell the tale. Rick and his girlfriend, Jennifer, were parapsychology majors at the local university. They were both very interested in the works of Dr. West as he was the most famed parapsychologist in the world. One day, they decided to visit the abandoned West Mansion as part of a project they were working on in school. As they walked towards the house, it started to rain. They entered. All went dark. Lightning cracked through the sky. There was a frantic scuffle. Then, a scream. And suddenly Jennifer was gone. Rick's unconscious body was covered with blood. Hours later, Rick awoke to a fantastic horror-He was alone and drenched with blood. But, the most terrifying thing of all was that a hideous mask covered his face. He had read tales of this "Terror Mask" in Dr. West's writings-it was said to have ancient spiritual powers. As his only hope, Rick must depend on this mask to give him the strength and courage to find Jennifer.
Notes from the Developer:
This is a fan port of Splatterhouse I've been working on to learn the ropes of Sega Megadrive/Genesis development.
This game will be made free to play on release. For now please enjoy the demo.
Please note that this is a ***WORK IN PROGRESS*** and that what is in this demo is not necessarily the final versions of art, color, sound or music. There may be bugs as well. They will be fixed. There is tuning to be done - it will be done.
***We will not be adding red blood to the game, we will not be adding the cutting room floor sprites/objects/enemies that were not in the final game. We will make adjustments to some things to make it look better with the genesis color palette and will do a few things to show off the genesis abilities over the original game (parallax scrolling etc). ***
To play the demo: download the binary ROM file to use with an emulator of your choice. We recommend BlastEm.
If you have a SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive and an EverDrive or compatible device, all you need to do is copy the binary file to an SD card to play with the demo.
Players: 1
Levels: 2
PERIPHERALS: Sega Control Pad™ or Control Stick™
**This version of the game is made for 60hz NTSC systems. While it will work on pal systems, the screen size and timing will be off. I'll look into fixing this later down the road.**
