I looove Splatterhouse. I've played through the original arcade game many times until I 1CC'd it and its home port was a deciding factor in my picking up a PC Engine a years back. I mean it's not really necessary with the better version on MAME at your fingertips, but hey!

I have 2 and 3, but I have yet to beat 2, sad to say (beat 3 tho). 2 I like a lot but for some reason I find it harder - and a little harder to get in to - than the first. I think it's the elevator rides, or the reaaaally long "fall down in a pit and walk through this corridor" segments, that irritate me. I feel like it lacks the "let's play a horror movie" vibe the first has, as well as the cogently-designed and taught third game.

THAT BEING SAID, I guess you don't wanna talk about Splatterhouse, but games like it!

As far as gorey horror [action?] games go...

-The Immortal (Genesis): more of an adventure game with a really weird combat system, but man is it heavy-metal!

-Phantasmagoria (PC): way better than Harvester, and is actually a finished game instead of random shock scenes thrown together! Fun and creepy, though a point-n-click. Sequel is pure schlocky cheese.

Monster Bash has, I think, a similar grimy, gorey, splattery aesthetic. Pretty neat DOS platformer too

Zombie Shooter is a great one straight out the old childhood, but I don't know if 2003 counts as "retro". I'm never sure with you guys

mentally replace with Chiller if it isn't. thank you

2 gets worse as it goes. I think the cabin is basically the last decent level, then they ran out of time/ideas. It's definitely harder than the arcade game imo, or at least it requires you to memorize way more dumb boring shit that doesn't even follow a pattern (like those falling bricks on the last elevator ride, so pointless). Really lazy design with all the flying heads and stuff.

There's a recent-ish romhack that improves the graphics, I far prefer playing it, and thankfully makes it so I don't want a real cart anymore.

Wish I could find a fake NES Wanpaku Graffiti, it's 2nd best after the arcade game imo. They had them on aliexpress like a month ago but looks like they're gone.

You can have most of the guys selling boorlegs on AliExpress custom make you carts for like $20-$30. Wanpaku is a kickass game, it was one of the first Famicom games I bought when I started collecting, but the price has gone way up since then.
