Splatterhouse 2. This is another example of the almost dead side scrolling beat em up genre. And yes, its another MegaDrive game. So sue me. (As a spooky fact: I bought this game at the same time as I bought SoR2). The first thing anyone who wants to play Splatterhouse 2 should know is that […]
I remember very clearly the Xmas my parents bought me and my brother our MegaDrive. It was Xmas 1992, and we were desperate to have one having spent a good number of hours playing on our Cousins and comparing it to our SMS. The hype around Sonic 2 was probably the tipping point in our […]

Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of gamers got their first hit from this educational title, […]
Yes, I know, it’s yet another retro gaming blog by a 30-something bloke who wants a place to ramble on semi coherently about his long past youth.
