    Interesting point about Altered Beast, and yeah you're right, it's a horror game. I'm guessing we never thought of it that way because the color palette is bright, pastel in parts, so it looks more like a Kirby game than Splatterhouse. Also the player is powerful.

    Strong content here, I don't know if anyone has pointed this out to you though, so if they have I apologize. When a game has been placed onto a cartridge, that is not a ROM hack. A ROM hack refers to a game ROM that has been altered in the coding of the game to make it different in terms of the actual game itself, not the media on which it is played. For example, the earthbound Halloween hack, that's a ROM hack.

  • @SG-cm7zq
    @SG-cm7zq Год назад +1

    On the list the only games I consider horror are the Splatterhouse games. They are the only games with horror elements at every corner; the music, atmosphere, creatures, game play, tension... everything. Other games MUST have some loos screws here and there that ruins the horror feel that makes them more of thrillers, not horror. Nothing like that in Splatterhouse unless one comes up with some to loosen the stress back when we were kids with big imagination.
