Too spooky.

This was a kid's game in 1992.

Why was the Genesis so based?

>green blood
It was censored?

Kids in the 90s liked gross stuff, it was the thing back then. Check out Garbage Pail Kids for example.

Maybe, but then again red on red doesn't go well.

I never got why odd coloured blood was supposed to be censorship. Bleeding mystery blood just ups the spook ante. It's more brutal than boring old red.

I've always wondered about this, like some tv channels make scenes in sports or wrestling with blood be black and white-- if anything it draws more attention

Silpheed Sega CD

The entire screen is sprayed with red blood when you defeat that boss

"MA-13" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

all of the SH games are kind of fucked

Funny they have that but in Splatterhouse 1 they censor the entire cathedral boss fight. No inverted cross, and no church imagery in it.

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a magazine article for Splatterhouse, and they were showing off some of the stuff in the first level. The hanging thing at the end of the level had red blood, while the final game has green blood in every version (as far as I know). I thought that was kind of odd.

Religious imagery and references still get censored from time to time, funnily enough. I think that older executives and Japanese people tend to overestimate how much the average person from the USA cares about that stuff.

Heart of Darkness.

[Anonymous No.4459997]

Not really sure if this counts as retro? Might be borderline since it came out in 2000? But yeah definitely this one.

All games available on consoles or computer hardware that predates the Dreamcast is allowed on /vr/ m8 according to the rules we are technically allowed to discuss everything up to PS1 FIFA 2005 or some new games for retro hardware, like Pier Solar for example, since it even had a physical release that plays on the real thing.

it had a tiny warning on the corner of the cover but no official rating

[Anonymous No.4461574]

>>4459895
It's more the translators overestimate it.

[Anonymous No.4461580]

Looks like it was given an M rating when it was released on the Virtual Console, and is apparently the only M-rated game that was added.

[Anonymous No.4461614]

>>4459309
The first M rated game I ever owned was Persona 3 which is not retro.

I doubt that FF7 could get away with a lot of what it did if it was released today. Many uncensored uses of "shit", lots of blood, and the whole crossdressing thing. The remake is going to be censored to hell, which is unfortunate.

The translators themselves typically have no say in the matter. The decision to censor religious imagery and such is usually made at a higher level.
