Game Description:
Yes, the bastard child of the Splatterhouse series. This is another one of those games that really doesn't take itself too seriously. Of course, that much is obvious from looking at the cute super-deformed protagonist. Even with an axe and a hockey mask, he still manages to be cute. And the whole game is just as silly. Well, not incredibly silly, but it's silly at various points. Anyway, you're a dead guy who's rescuing his girlfriend, and in doing so walks perpetually to the right, and cuts up all kinds of possessed objects and demons on the way to the pathetically easy showdown with the big pumpkin thing and the really cool ending. There's even a "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen in the credits. How damned cool is that?
Hack Description:
This hack was a big project to port Splatter House that used the Famicom mapper “Namco 106″ to the standard Nintendo MMC-3 memory mapper chip. The benefits to doing this include greater compatibility with emulators and makes it possible to build your own reproduction cartridge with any common TKROM, TLROM, or TSROM board found in tons of donor games. The hack required alot of in depth reverse engineering of the game to compensate for the MMC-3's inferior capabilities compared to the Namco 106. But the end result is a great port to MMC-3.
