Splatterhouse 2 Genesis

Jennifer has once again been kidnapped by an evil force and only Rick can save her! In this 8-Meg sequel to the TurboGrafx 16's Splatterhouse, you'll need to traverse through eight horrific levels (each spanning multiple scenes) in your effort to rescue your girlfriend. Rick won't be alone in this journey, however, as the Terror Mask transforms him into a hulking beast to pulverize enemies. Splatterhouse 2 is a side-scrolling beat-em-up with a horror theme. The creatures you'll face include giant leeches, zombies, ghouls, sludge monsters and even severed arms!

Once you complete the two to three stages comprising each level, you'll have to square off against a large, powerful boss creature. Defeat the monster and you'll progress to the next level as well as receive a password to resume progress. Rick's standard moves consist of a punch, normal kick, flying kick and slide kick. Also available on each stage is a weapon or two to help out: chainsaws, bones, clippers, oars, shotguns, potassium bombs, lead pipes, and ghouls' heads. Splatterhouse 2 offers three difficulty levels (normal, difficult and game master) which determine how many hits Rick can take before dying.
