Sega Puts Splatterhouse Back on the Market
I’ve almost posted maybe half a dozen videos for Sega’s Splatterhouse remake on TR, but I’ve always stopped just shy of doing. Probably because they all seemed really boring. I’m not convinced the game will be worth more than a rental, but at least this preview –chock full of bits from the original Genesis game and their modern equivalents — is at least pretty fun. I do wish the dude would put a shirt on, thought. A guy in a jumpsuit wearing a hockey mask looks like a serial killer. A guy in shorts and no shirt wearing a hockey mask is probably a Juggalo.
