Huh, 51:38 Something about this Skeleton Krew game gives me super early Hades vibes with the screen layouts and battles. 😄👍
Splatterhouse 3 was the only game as a kid that scared me. It was those cut scenes that did it. I rented it so many times, regardless. I still think of the "Jennifer smells of rot...of the grave" scene all the time. I never made it past that point as a child, haha.

I actually have a weird little memory of Splatterhouse 3 or a game like it. I Dunno if I rented a romhack copy of it from the store as a kid or maybe some knock off but I remember several details that are different from any version of 3 I can find online.
I can't be the only one who thinks Chakan looks a hell of a lot like Eddie, Iron Maiden's mascot.

Check out Kim Justice, she has a lisp, loves the Mega Drive and often references it.
lol I remember that when I was a kid I convinced my mom to get me Ecco The Dolphin because it's a peaceful game and you just swim around as a dolphin! Little did she (or I, for that matter) know that Splatterhouse would have been far less damaging on my poor little mind.
Thanks for making the game info more readable! I think this type of content is your forte!
Quality content! Love that you actually allow the music and sound effects to seep through from time to time. Many gaming KZreadrs forget this!
thank you for the much needed Genesis love, some gorgeous art and music here!
Splatterhouse for life!!!!
One of the best if not THE best retro round up. Well done my man
Excellent Video! Loved all the nostalgia and games I missed growing up. I'm 44 so this was my favorite era of gaming.
Great job yet again, Burst.. how you produce these lengthy videos so quickly is crazy impressive. A lot of fun to watch!
Was happy to see Ghostbusters and Alien Storm in the list. However, where was Fantasia? It’s the most horrific Genesis game I’ve ever played.

Great video! I love long videos. Been really into the Genesis lately so I’m going to try and find some of these :)
aww yeaa!! i loved ur nes video so this is extra sweet to see!
Steller video👍, the unique borders for each game is a nice touch.
All of the puns during the Decap Attack section...I appreciate you, sir.
Outstanding video, Burst! You highlighted all of my favorites and a couple I haven't tried. Cheers
Thorough and extensive. Ton of titles here I'd never heard of before. Nice job!!
The mocking laugh of the dark one, Death!
I really enjoyed this, a lot of work put into the video too.

If you liked Polterguy you might like a PC game that came out around the early 2000s called "Ghost Master." It's like the sims but you play as a variety of ghosts trying to scare the crap out of people. Last time I checked it was $2.74 dollars on Steam.

This is AWESOME! Thank you so much for these videos!
Such a great video! I didn't realize just how many games were out on the Genesis with a horror aesthetic to them. Love your style!
Decap attack was the first game I ever played on Genesis and haunting I got for Christmas at some point. Both fun but flawed times.
there used to be an altered beast arcade machine at the local 7-11. my brother and i used to go and play it all the time. i was so bad at the game and was so impressed when i saw him and a friend get to the second level lol. good times.

Really good stuff, now I want to go back and beat Ecco the dolphin
Viewing Splatterhouse 3 as a beat 'em up with a horror theme, rather than as a sequel that didn't quite work has suddenly made me re-evaluate it.
I remember playing the demo of Nightmare Circus on SEGA Channel in the Test Drives section. Didn't really know what to think about it at the time, it just seemed kind of weird. Splatterhouse 3 though... the monochrome digitized cutscenes with that creepy music made me genuinely uneasy the first time I saw them. Such a good idea for a weekend rental being left home alone for the evening while my parents went out to dinner, haha!
Wow man I know quite a lot of genesis games but you opened my eyes to a bunch of japanese ones I've never heard of before!
Man o man I love these videos you gotta do one for the SNES and PlayStation
This is fantastic thank you, I had forgotten about Skeleton Krew, it had some amazing design
great video, man !! i was late to the castlevania: bloodlines train, but it's so fun 🤙🏾
Informative video and great fun narration!
Great video! I can attest to Undead Line being nasty with zero checkpoints! That makes it tough to beat casually and definitely the 1cc! The cemetery stage music was my favorite and still stuck in my head.
Great video man. I def have never even seen many of these
An easy going listen. I am a fan. I will need to check out some of you other videos.

The Genesis of Horror
Thank you for such a great video. This is awesome, bro. I would also add: Animaniacs: level where you need to get Jason's mask. Spot goes to hollywood: Haunted House level and the last level where a xenomorph will hunt you. Pirates of Dark Water: Level 2 where zombies come out of their graves and there is the most depressing music Midnight resistance: the final boss is really creepy Michael Jackson's Moonwalker: Graveyard Level
Really awesome lists. I appreciate the Horror adjacent games too.
Holy hell, how much work this must have been
Maniaxe is definitely Rick Taylor down to the sleeveless jumpsuit lol!
Nice video. One game you might have included as an honorable mention is The Incredible Hulk. As I recall, the penultimate stage transports Hulk to some hellish world comprised of blood and entrails, where he has to battle his way through monsters and fight a giant brain at the end. 🤷♂

This video brought back so many memories of the early 2000s when I started diving into emulation to experience the many games I missed out on while growing up! Thank you for helping me put a name on Zombie High, which I ran into while testing out various MegaDrive ROMs back then and couldn’t remember the name of, besides “this looks like a Zombies Ate My Neighbours side scroller”.😊🙇♂️ I also remember spending hours trying to beat The Haunting’s pretty unfair last boss or progressing in The Ooze’s increasingly challenging levels.
I thought to myself “this voice sounds familiar…” then saw the name. Thanks for sharing here on YT as well! (Not just TTV) I need to give some of these a go.
Great video. Subscribed.
Mate your a legend for showing these games. As growing up was poor, couldn't afford most of it. But emulation has brought the joys of real games back.
