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?

Evil Dead is a film franchise that began in 1981, followed by two sequels in 1987 and 1992 respectively. In 2013 a remake of the first part was made, and between 2015-2018 a direct sequel of the original saga was broadcast in series format, recovering Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, the main character.

His legacy extends to comics, figures and, of course, video games, but it's weird that at the top of his popularity no one (not even LJN) has ever licensed to make a Nintendo NES video game.

This hack fixes that, using the little known Splatter House installment for this console as a base. The original game is terribly cute (no kidding, even the cockroaches are cute in this game), so:

● Title screen edited using YY-CHR and some hex.

● 90% of the content has been redrawn from scratch. The other 10% (the one that fit well in the game but was too cute) has been modified to fit the new graphic style.

● Using the excellent translation of Spinner 8 & friends as a base, all texts have been modified to suit the new storyline.

● Some Easter eggs and cameos added just for fun.

● And much more! Just check it out and enjoy it!

P.S. You can apply the patch directly on the original Japanese rom.
