>MA-13

jesus man what does it take to get a MA-17 around here anyway

>>3102994
Clock Tower is legit the creepiest game ever made to this day.

>>3103019
No official Western release, doesn't count.

>>3103012
You have to be one of five games:
http://www.mobygames.com/attribute/sheet/attributeId,188/

Don't know how the fuck Lethal Enforcers got there.

>>3103036
OP here. Yes it does.

>>3103019
And yes it is. I'm glad single antagonist horror games made something of a comeback too.

Is Sweet Home actually worth playing? Couldn't really get into it.

How much does the ending change depending on character death?

>>3103037
>every one of them has some live action element

Now I'm even more confused. Splatterhouse 3 had live action cutscenes.

Also when you're eight years old, pic related is a traumatizing fucking thing to see.

>>3103053
forgot pic

>>3103056
Fuck me this game was brutal.

>>3103062
>detailed descriptions of unspeakable atrocities consuming human flesh
>It's fine for pre-teens
>paid overactors pretending to shoot each other
>this is the root of immorality

The real Splatterhouse was a little game called wanpaku doki doki and was actually a much cuter game hut japanese boys thought it wouldn't sell in the west so they made it gross. Just another tale of localization!

>>3103101
Pretty badass story though.

I mean if you're gonna localize something at least they didn't half-ass it.

Skeleton on the 2600 is pretty tense. You have to navigate a 3D maze while a skeleton hunts you down. But as soon as you blast one to bits with your spectral ray gun, you soon find that another has taken its place. Can you escape the unending horrors of the deadly skeleton's maze?

Consider also the upgraded version, Skeleton+, which has some additional niceties and is also way easier. Game is made for stereo-modded ataris so unless you have such a mod in place it's probably better to emulate it. It's playable without but not as fun IMO.

>>3103132
Way too fuckin spooky for me

>>3103132
>>3103193
There's a skeleton and it gets you

and when it gets you it says I GOT YOU

Seriously don't play that shit if you want to live a halfway normal life instead of being plagued by PTSD nightmares until you kill yourself

>>3102994
The lack of colors and limited sound capabilities really held the Genesis back from its potential :/

>>3103378
Wrong thread, buddy.

>>3103113
Shame the remake was forgettable. You could work with the evil mask thing.

This always gave me a sense of dread back then. I never managed to finish it when I was a kid either. The Wizard had to wait literally 12 years for me to pick up the game again and see it through.

>>3103193
You have no idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZyba9msQX4

>>3103595
I was just never good enough to progress.
It did have one hell of a bleak atmosphere. You were in unfathomably deep shit and you knew it from square 1.

>>3103378
Nintendo's policy for family-friendly games and censoring all instances of blood and death for overseas ports really held the SNES back from it's potential :/

>nobody talks about the creepiest game

>>3103595
I could never even beat the first level. Game spooked me and I didn't understand the combat.

>>3103101
>The real Splatterhouse was a little game called wanpaku doki doki
Too bad it's a lie

>>3103762
Wanpaku Graffiti is a real game.

>>3103705
Still curious about how this game managed to be approved by NoA

>>3103764

It's also not Splatterhouse. It's the second game in the franchise. Splatterhouse was just as gruesome in japan as it was here.

This is a good game

>>3103764
>>3103948
At least as good as the Genesis/MD games imo

>>3103843
They glanced at the title screen and said "Lose the blood here and you're good."

>>3104032
>skeleton

Nope.

>>3103954
I've been wondering about it.
Know anything about >>3103051?

>>3103705
Have you tried Monster Party: Let's Go Again? I found it to be part legit improvement, but also a bit too rom hack-y with the dumb humor.

>>3103730
Combat controls in Immortal make zero sense but they can be mastered. Pretty fun game.

>>3104803
>a bit too rom hack-y with the dumb humor

Shame.

>>3103608
>You were in unfathomably deep shit and you knew it from square 1.

It really was I'm Fucked: The Game.

I don't know of any other game I've played that made me feel like I was going to lose no matter what.

>>3104803
I don't really do romhacks since there are so damned many to choose from and most are awful.

I'll give it a shot, though. I enjoyed Monster Party even without the surreal novelty factor.

>>3104032
Better actually. I'd much rather play Doki Doki Wanpaku Monogatari Densetsu than any of the other Splattermen. If you disagree you're most likely an edgelord.

>>3104870
>If you disagree you're most likely an edgelord.

Oh stop that bullshit. I'm not calling you a faggot for liking a chibi version of a horror game series. Why bother accusing people of being edgy for enjoying a horror themed beat em up?

>>3103051
All of the endings are really short and simplistic but the music is nice, the parts that change basically go like this:
>5 alive: Group photo in their reporting office
>4 alive: Shot of souls rising from the mansion as it crumbles
>3-2 alive: Solid black screen with two or three souls moving across to represent your dead teammates
>1 alive: Last survivor erects a monument to everyone who died and dwells for a moment
You can find screencaps at http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/b/sweet.htm

>he didn't post the last frame in the sequence

>>3105000
>he didn't post the last frame in the sequence

Your trips are my command.

For being a pinball game, Devil Crash has some real unsettling stuff, like the woman's face in the middle of the board that turns into some sort of dragon, and this thing in the picture that looks like it crawled out of H. R. Giger's anus.

>>3105031
I would kill for a high definition remake of Devil's Crash as long as it retains what made it great.

Can unintentional horror come to the party?

>>3105039

>>3105031
Speaking of things in H.R. Giger's anus, Wings of Wor took some pretty heavy inspiration too.

Speaking of things in H.R. Giger's anus, Wings of Wor took some pretty heavy inspiration too.
Hell, it made him look subtle. Just look at that dick.

>>3104820
>whee!

>>3105125

Jesus H. Christ. That's leaning into parody territory. The size of that dong.

>>3105196
What's even better is it probably would've made MA-13 max if the rating system were in place.

>>3103608
Is Amiga the best version? Looks like it was ported to a couple of different computers and consoles.

>>3105196
Better yet it's made by the cho-aniki guys.

>>3105278
Here's a screenshot comparison from each platform.

Could be wildly inaccurate, but I did make sure to at least check if the source thought the screen was for that platform.

>>3105298
>Genesis has no cracks

>>3105284
So they actually got even more flamboyant.

Pic related was a very fucking weird thing to flip to in EGM, lemme fucking tell you.

>>3105130
Emulators look so much batter than the original genesis hardware did. Only system that improves play with emulation IMO.

>>3105332

You probably had one of the shittier Genesis models. If you do the S-Video mod on a Genesis then it looks great on a CRT.

>>3105318
>Cho-Aniki

>>3105353
That's what it is, yes.

>>3105039
Only if unexpected horror can join in.

>>3105125
Can't be a coincidence, right?

Surprised no one posted about Dark Seed.

>>3105563
Still haven't even tried Dark Seed 2. Does it compare to the original?

>>3105567
I don't think either of them have aged well, but the second is about the same in quality. The art is what kept me playing.

Last one.

Why doesn't anyone talk about Laplace no Ma? Was it any good? Found out it was translated for the SNES.

>>3104870
You want edgy? Pop this in a ZX Spectrum.

>>3105624
goddamn

>we're doing adventure games now
I'm down.
I don't think an Elvira game exists that isn't worth playing. Even it's pinball tables were great.

>>3105631
They didn't hold back on the gore either. Death was pretty fucking rampant.

>>3105636

>>3105639

>>3105643

>>3105647

>>3105650

>>3105623
the translation is barely playable

>>3105653

>>3105654
Well that's a fucking bummer.

>>3105661
I think AG is working on a better version, but with their release schedule, it will be a while

>>3105670
Less of a bummer. Seems interesting.

>>3105653
>you will never wonder if you're going to fuck Elvira
>that possibility will never even enter your life

>>3105024
>>3103056
>>3103062
This would basically be a perfect doujin premise if she then went around squirting worms into into girls and turning them into monsters

>>3104884
I think he was using a mischievous prank to fool you.

Wanpaku is good, original arcade remains best.

>>3105636
Why can't indie garbage get pixel art right? Yes i know it's because it actually takes work and talent but it's still very frustrating to see less than atari graphics getting praised like the 2nd coming of jesus no i'm not talking bad about the atari

>>3105653
Those poor kids who thought they were gonna see Elvira naked.

I was one of them.

>>3105125
How the fuck did they get away with it?
That boss has an actual giant penis. There is literally no other interpretation.

>>3103954
>>3104714
>>3103051
Sweet Home is rewarding if you're willing to stick with it and don't mind the Dragon Quest battle system.

>>3106241
I can't be the only one who doesn't hate the DQ battle system.

>>3103587

The remake was an unfinished game that was forced out for Christmas

It wouldn't have been much better, but at least it would have a proper ending

>>3106369
It didn't even end?

>>3105657
Spoiler that shit.

The Uninvited

>>3107214
This

>4th gen and under

How bout 2nd gen and under?

>>3107392
>Ebony Buck

You just won the name lottery.

Every fucking game on the ZX Spectrum.

>>3107392
There's no possible way I will ever play this, is there

I am unironically interested in this and the Splatterhouse LCD game

>>3107532
http://www.ebay.com/itm/80s-Retro-Bandai-LCD-Solar-Power-Akuryo-No-Yakata-Terror-House-Made-in-Japan-/152016722044?hash=item2364e7187c:g:1jwAAOSwJcZWcYAA

40 bucks. Jump on it.

>>3107539
That's actually much less than I'd have expected

I still just went here because I'm a cheapskate with too much junk already: http://www.handheld.remakes.org/results.php?gamename=T

>>3107578
I didn't even know they emulated LCD games.

>>3107578
Well I know what I'm doing for the next few hours.

>>3105657
Elvira 2 had 2 good scares, this was one

>>3108606
..and the other was the succubus. Other than that it was a rubbish unfair game. Great graphics though.

>>3103597
bzz... BZz... BZZ. BZZ!
GOT
YOU

>>3103056
This one ways creeped me out more than the last one.

>>3107587
Sadly no emulated Splatterhouse LCD :(

>>3108612
Considering it starred a chick famous for her magnificent and seemingly immortal body, any kind of scare was a surprise.

First game was better though.

>>3108612
I'm almost positive that mouth was composited from a photograph of a vagina.

>>3109259
Yet

>>3102994
Considering the huge overlap of gen's 4 and 5 I can safely say that this is 4th gen.

>>3110161
We live in hope but I'm not too optimistic.

>>3105624
Holy fuck the boxart ain't bullshitting.

>>3110890

Reminds me of Space Funeral.

>>3103764
Yeah, it's the SD sequel to Splatterhouse. It's a totally separate thing.

>>3104850
You should check out the Famicom prototype if you haven't, it's pretty awesome.

>>3110940
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Long time.

>>3110969
I've heard some crazy shit about it. Does it really have an overworld?

>>3110980
desu I really suck at it and haven't given it more than a 20 minute playthrough a few times, no idea if there's an overworld. It's worth playing just to see the original copyright-infringing bosses in-tact, and it's a lot more bloody.

>>3110985
I'm just glad the prototype got out there.
Last time I checked all we had were a couple of screenshots.

>>3110890

>>3105624
>>3110890
>>3111034
Why didn't this get any controversy or media attention? Holy shit that's pretty damned fucked for a 1987 game.

>>3111039
That's just more evidence that the people who complain about games on the media don't even play videogames.

>>3111039
Because it was a shitty budget game.

>>3105196
>Jesus H. Christ
Jesus H R Giger!

>>3111039
Same reason "video games cause school shooters!" reports never mention games like Xevil, they're too low profile to even make a blip on the radar

Snatcher spooked my guts off every time this theme went on

The fuck? I have an omnibus book with H.P. Lovecraft stories with the same exact cover image.

>>3103037
Check pic related then.

>>3105639

>>3102994
What's a good, cheap spooky game for 4th gen systems and under?

>>3117070
>realistic violence

>>3117097
Monster Party is pretty cheap I think, as is The Immortal.

Dunno wtf is up with Splatterhouse prices

>>3117047
Probably went for the edgiest painting they could find.

I doubt the painting was made for the game.

>>3117047
>>3117814
I looked it up and it's "The Lurking Fear" by Time White, and was evidently commissioned for the book.

Lacking google image search, the jews of the time most likely stole it straight off the book cover and never sent the guy a dime.

>>3118049
Good fucking catch. The picture was just too high quality for the game.
This wasn't exactly a Psygnosis production.

>>3117785
>Monster Party
Ran into a loose copy for $12, might pick it up one day.

>>3105216
Is the rest of the game equally weird tho

>>3111034
>>3110890
Well, unexpected finale to Miner Willy series, "That time when Willy took some shady acid and had a near-death experience"

>>3103597
what a hell ride

>>3120219
Not quite as sexual, but yeah, it's still weird.

The team saved the rest of their phallic symbols for Cho Aniki.

>>3103132

I just looked this up and literally couldn't get to the first skeleton without crying. Holy shit. My heart fucking leaped out of my chest.

>>3106208
The game is brutally tough. Rumor is whoever was in charge of localizing never made it to that level so they didn't see the giant dick boss. It's like the third or fourth level boss.

>>3122790
>that filename

Fucking kek.

All he had to do was call it a preemptive press, and he wouldn't have needed so much fucking footage to explain his bullshit.

>>3118101
Just bought this game today, holy shit I'm in love with it.

Now suppose there were very tiny monsters in your home or possibly even in your pocket

Would that not be rather spooky

>>3126939
This game is super fun.

>>3122851

How is that less autistic?

>>3126943
Indeed, I've enjoyed it in co-op.

>>3126939
Saw a copy for $30, never seen it before but it did peak a portion of my interest.
Didn't buy it as inoptes to get Monster Party instead.

>>3127157
God damn even MiMP goes for 30 bucks now? Ridiculous.

>>3125001
What do you love about it? All the interesting stuff is front loaded. It's very dull past the first stage.

>>3103597
I'm pretty sure I had this nightmare as a kid

>>3126948
It implies that it's an entire press (which it is; none of that half-A nonsense) while explaining what the fuck it's actually doing: preemptively pressing a button before entering a stage.

>>3127601
>What do you love about it? All the interesting stuff is front loaded. It's very dull past the first stage.

Maybe he's having fun.

>>3127601
Difficult, yet controls well. Enemies are weird and the levels are unsettling to some extent. Just a fun game, not the gory but certainly a very well made game.

>>3128250
*goty

>>3105639
Motherfucker this gave me nightmares aa a kid.

>>3128250
>>3128256
I'm inclined to agree. As a platformer there's really nothing wrong with it.

>>3102994
I remember playing some NES game where you're a flying head fucking up cities. It was weird being the antagonist too.

>>3131179
That's Zombie Nation, fucking awesome game.
