Splatterhouse 2

Help Rick save Jennifer in this bloody Sega Genesis sequel, Splatterhouse 2! Put on the Terror Mask and fight through eight stages of monsters and bosses.

Splatterhouse 2 is a 1992 side-scrolling horror beat’em up developed by Now Production and published by Namco for the Sega Genesis. It continues the story of the original Splatterhouse. Three months have passed since Rick escaped the house, but he could not save Jennifer, and the nightmares have not stopped. The Terror Mask returns and promises him the power to bring her back, if he is willing to wear it again and walk back into the dark. Your goal is to get Rick through all eight stages, survive the creatures in the halls, and defeat the boss waiting at the end of each one.

Rick’s basic attacks are a punch, a low kick (hold Down and attack), a jump kick (attack in the air), and a sliding kick that takes a little practice but hits harder than the rest. To slide, jump while holding Down-forward and press attack just as Rick lands. Weapons are scattered on the ground as you go. Stand over one and hold Down to pick it up. Look for a pipe, a heavy bone, a chainsaw, a shotgun with only eight shells, and potassium bombs that burst into flame when they break. Use them while you have them. Between pickups you will be dodging shambling zombies, Screaming Mimis, ghouls, and other creatures, plus pits and tight jumps where a greedy slide can get you killed. Every stage still ends with a boss, and each one has a pattern you need to learn.

If you run out of lives, write down the password on the Game Over screen. Enter it from the title menu and you will start at the beginning of the last level you finished. Before a new run you can also open Options and set the challenge to Normal, Difficult, or Game Master. On a Genesis pad, the A or C button jumps and the B button attacks. On Arcade Spot’s usual keyboard layout, that means Z jumps and X attacks.

Be warned, this game features blood and gore that are not suitable for very young audiences.
