Mega Splatterhouse - 1988/89 Arcade Splatterhouse gets a Sega Mega Drive demo!!

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 has released an early demo of the upcoming game of 'Mega Splatterhouse ' for the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive. An epic and very gory side scrolling slasher which most of us know as 'Splatterhouse'! As in the words of the creator "This is a fan port of Splatterhouse I've been working on to learn the ropes of Sega Megadrive/Genesis development". 

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."

Notes from the Developer:

• This is a fan port of Splatterhouse I've been working on to learn the ropes of Sega Megadrive/Genesis development. 
• This game will be made free to play on release. For now please enjoy the demo. 
• Please note that this is a ***WORK IN PROGRESS*** and that what is in this demo is not necessarily the final versions of art, color, sound or music. There may be bugs as well. They will be fixed.  There is tuning to be done - it will be done. 
• ***We will not be adding red blood to the game, we will not be adding the cutting room floor sprites/objects/enemies that were not in the final game. We will make adjustments to some things to make it look better with the genesis color palette and will do a few things to show off the genesis abilities over the original game (parallax scrolling etc). ***
