With the Caffeine just about kicking in and a HOT news story that's well worth a mention. We've just been informed by the Scorpion Engine creator Earok, that Monster Bath Games Inc is working on bringing the epic and very gory side scrolling slasher of 'Splatterhouse' to the Sega Mega Drive as 'Mega Splatterhouse'. As in the words of the creator "So for the past 2 weeks I took a break from working everyday to... work. Decided to try out Scorpion Engine to make a Sega MegaDrive/Genesis game. How's it looking so far? ;)"
For those of you who never played the original at the Arcades or the TurboGrafx-16, FM Towns Marty version, here's what the wikipedia page says about the game "Splatterhouse is an arcade-style sidescrolling beat 'em up with platform elements in which the player controls Rick, a parapsychology college major who is trapped inside West Mansion. After his resurrection by the Terror Mask, Rick makes his way through the mansion, fighting off hordes of creatures in a vain attempt to save his girlfriend Jennifer from a grisly fate."
- While we don't have a release date for Mega Splatterhouse, Earok has also informed us in regards to an Amiga or NeoGeo version, "the fact that it's a Scorpion game doesn't preclude an Amiga or NeoGeo release in future". And that's all we have so far, so watch this space.
