Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti is a horror-comedy action platformer published by Namco for the Famicom in 1989. A chibi reimagining of the original Splatterhouse arcade game, it follows Rick — wearing the iconic Terror Mask — through a series of side-scrolling stages packed with ghosts, mummies, and monsters. The super-deformed art style plays the franchise’s horror for laughs, but the platforming underneath is earnest and tight.

How to play

Move Rick with the arrow keys. Z attacks and X jumps; press Enter to start. Defeating enemies sometimes drops weapons — a sword, axe, or club — which Rick picks up and swings with Z. Each stage ends with a boss encounter; learn its attack pattern, close the distance when there is an opening, and keep the pressure up.

Tips

Weapons deal significantly more damage than bare fists. Hold onto them as long as possible and grab new ones whenever enemies drop them.
Most bosses are large and telegraph their swings. Dodge backward on the wind-up, then move back in during the recovery.
Lives are finite and stages are unforgiving. Move in short bursts, clear enemies before advancing, and resist the urge to rush ahead.
