Night Slashers Longplay (Arcade) [4K]

I couldn't let Halloween go by without a suitably ghoulish video, and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by how bloodthirsty Night Slashers turned out to be. The game is, to all intents and purposes, Final Fight crossed with Dawn of the Dead. Pile-driving zombies and other nightmarish monsters is pretty good fun, and the enemy deaths are accompanied by suitably gory animations.
The other thing to note is the game has a pretty rocking soundtrack full of screaming electric guitars and crashing beats, and there are some delightfully slurpy effects whenever a bad guy dissolves into a pile goop!
Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

    Unfortunately, like the rest of the "Johnny Turbo" releases the emulation quality is somewhat iffy, though it's one of the better releases as it just has some slowdown and sound crackling in one stage whereas other releases like Heavy Barrel have missing sounds in places. At least they frequently go on sale for a pittance.
