thanks for the video.
Chakan.
Decap Attack was another good Halloween game. You covered Ghosts n Goblins, Splatterhouse and Castlevania as some of my favorite horror themed games from the 16 bit era. I'm a huge fan of early RE(0,1,2,3,CVX,4) so I always make it a point to play them around this time of year. Great selection and vid, Aaron. Thank _you_ for the great content. 🤘
yes decap attack, I think that may have been a US only game as its a reskin of a preexisting game (edit it was in europe as well, thanks wikipedia)
Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a banger.
Many a fight between me and my brothers on who got to play the Boy in Co-op.
i share this experience with my cousin lol.
Lmao 🤣. I played with my sister so there was no problem.
Zombies are my neighbors was one of my favorites. Had it for SNES
It's zombies ATE my neighbors. But I'm sure that was just autocorrected.
I wanted that game so bad when I saw it advertised lol
Way better on SNES
They have both games on Xbox live now. Never played the sequel so I will check it out.
@@captainmartin1219 yep. Bought it last week
6:25 haunting, there was so many unique animations. Impressive
I’m surprised The Immortal didn’t get a mention. That was a scary and atmospheric game to play as a kid.
That was Genesis... I covered the NES version in one of my other episodes.
Yes...That giant spider in the tunnel and its babies...The horror!
The Immortal is awesome on Sega Genesis!
Also extremely gory for it’s time.
I loved the Polterguy game when I was a kid! Wow! It takes me back! Thanks man. 👍 :)
It was my favorite! Haunting was fresh and different and there has never been anything quite like it.
Me too bro my neighbor showed me it when I was teen years lol and Chakan the forever man, and Hook were the 3 games all good ones
That game was fun as heck. I played it on both on NES and Sega Genesis.
@@captainmartin1219 YES! I cherish those memories. Things were just simpler then. 😪
I’m going to have to check out that Polterguy game.
It's also on the EA collection for PSP and probably other media as well
I didn't really do it justice in a 90-second blurb and definitely want to back and do a full analysis at some point.
It's a great game :) I enjoyed it so much playing at a friends house I went and bought a sega system and the game the next day lol
It's honestly kind of dated by today's standards. Ghost Master is a much better, newer take on the idea. I think there's patches that make it more playable and less Evil Genius/Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines level of jank it was on release.
I'd love a new Polterguy/Ghost Master type game though. Come on indie developers! Pick up the slack where AAA have dropped it! Give us the 'Stardew Valley' of ghost management games! :P
Man, used to play that a lot with my sister growing up. Fun fun
The sound and sprites of splatter house 3 have some of the creepiest tones and looks on the genesis and video games in general
I'm surprised nobody has tried to make something like Haunting Starring Polterguy again. Game was ahead of it's time
Here is my Top 10 list of Sega Genesis games that I like to play on Halloween:
#10 - Altered Beast
#9 - Splatterhouse 2
#8 - Alien Storm
#7 - Haunting: Starring Poulter-Guy
#6 - Zombies Ate My Neighbors
#5 - Splatterhouse 3
#4 - DeCap Attack: Starring Chuck D. Head
#3 - Ghouls 'N Ghosts
#2 - Castlevania: Bloodlines
#1 - Ghostbusters
That's a damn perfect list.
I’ve been looking for a video of this theme! It’s great to get into the spooky spirit with a creepy game!
Awesome Aaron just awesome! I'm over here smiling ear to ear. Not only did you have Bloodlines but you incorporated my favorite stage and music! I never played Zombies ate my neighbors but I so want to now! Thank you so much for this video. Have a great day!
I love Sinking Old Sanctuary!
Another great video. As always appreciate your work. Keep it spooky man. Have a great day
As you were talking about zombies ate my neighbors I was literally thinking of Invaders From Mars...
Love that movie
I proudly own Splatterhouse 2 and 3 :D
This is my introduction to this channel! I loved the video so I'm excited to check out your content! I'm glad I found you🤙🤙
We all know the #1 horror game on Megadrive, Ecco the dolphin, the beginning was creepy as hell as a kid! And the ending was crazy.
I just have to say I’ve been watching your channel for a year and a half now and I’ve loved it ,it’s been amazing. I love all your reviews and gameplay footage .it’s a win-win in all aspects. you’re very good at what you do keep up the awesome videos. Thank you very much.watching from east coast canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Gratz on 4 years!
Hey thanks!
All great titles. Great video as always.
Love your channel and recently subscribed. Great video and great content.
That's very kind of you to say - thanks for watching!
Ahhh Ghouls N Ghosts been playing it since it was released and can play it blind folded. still after all these years I can't get enough of this game....
The sega genesis will always be my favorite game console!
Zombies ate my neighbors is a classic. Just always rage quit cause it’s not an easy game.
Aaron, Love the Channel! Todd's Slime World was a great Genesis game. I think I commented this before. Not necessarily a scary game, but gross. And, a great 2 player game. The one player campaign is cool as well. Anyway, I wish I could play some old games with ya! Like going to my friend's house, next door. Splatterhouse 3 was Awesome! Rented that a bunch back in the day. Happy Halloween, Dude!
Jay and I tried to play Todd's Slime World after you mentioned it before. We were gonna record a video for it... but to be honest the video was kinda not watchable because the game is so glitchy and wonky lol. At least our version was, maybe we were doing something wrong. We just kept getting stuck and didn't make it very far and Jay's guy kept going the wrong way lol. It looked like a really cool idea for a game though. My Sega controllers were acting up at the time too so that may have had something to do with it. Cheers, mate!
Don't feel bad Friday Night Arcade, Ghouls and Goblins is in my personal list of All-Time Hardest games.
I loved zombies at my neighbors
Great vid I'll have to check those out
The time limit is not a problem in Splatter House 3 you simply have to follow doors that have a Yellow marking on the map. Yellow doors transport you to the end of the level quicker than any other route.
Loved and subscribed!!!
Splatterhouse rules!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I actually have all of these games. One point, however. In Splatterhouse 3, she is not your girlfriend, she is your wife, and your young son, David, has been taken as well. You need to be careful, because it is possible to be able to save one and not the other. The best outcome if to save them both, but losing either or both gives you one of the most tragic feeling endings. This is really an amazing game when it comes right down to it. I also have the Turbo Grafix-16 version of Splatterhouse. It's a shame the entire series was never released on the same platform.
I never got around to renting any of these 6. But one I did however was called Beware The Ultimate Evil of Warlock. it's a game based off the Warlock horror movies in which you play a druid who acquires magic spells along the way and uses them to defeat enemies and end bosses. it has a password system but I believe it kinda screws you over in some way and you'd be better off trying to beat in one sitting.
Splatterhouse 3 was a very scary game. The music alone gave me nightmares.
Someone created a Splatterhouse Doom Mod. There's footage of it on YT.
Oh, nobody ever covers Haunting: Starring Polterguy. That game was just dripping in Genesis style.
I will cover it soon!
The darkness of the genesis library was why I picked it
I used to love all of these games, especially Zom bies ate my neighbors on the Snes, also Haunting starring Polterguy on Genesis was one of my fav games if I could find it to rent, it was very unique for it's day.
Awesome video, Keep up the great work!
Hey thanks!
@@FridayNightArcade I never owned a genesis growing up, but I played it a lot at my friends houses. I was born in 81', so I was lucky enough to grow up while videogames grew up. My first system was an Atari 2600, and I owned every console after, except genesis. I love your videos because I can relate with them. However during the early console wars, I was on team Nintendo. Great job, and keep it up.
Thanks for sharing and thank you for the kind words, Nazz. Sounds like we had a similar history. Born in 81 as well and we also had the 2600. I've still got that thing and somehow it still works lol. I was totally a Nintendo kid as well growing up and had each generation. Although now that I'm older, I just try to find interesting/fun games on any console and don't really have a preference to one or the other. My go-to would probably always be the NES just because those games are in-grained in my psyche, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can about all the stuff I missed out on along the way.
Oh man; Haunting starring Polterguy is great; I spent countless hours on that one. Have you ever played the SEGA Master System of Ghouls & Ghosts? It's very different from the rest of the series; you can find hidden rooms that let you upgrade your weapon, boots (better jumping), helmet (new magic), and even armor (ADDS A LIFE BAR!).
More then two years have passed! Excuse me kind Sir but where is part two?
killer video! can't wait for the next one
Thanks, John!
Polterguy was really fun!
Great content, very well done, thanks.
I loved Haunting & Z.A.M.N. as a kid, but could never beat them. I found the splatter house games later as an adult, and enjoyed beating them! Nice list!
Polterguy is the most psychobilly cartoon I ever seen
Glad this came up in my recommendation list. All these are great games to play, but there's 3 more I'd play during Halloween Season.
Decap Attack, Chakan, and Garfield caught in the act, Mainly cause of the Dracula, Pirate, and Mummy stages.
I beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts in a weekend rental but it was hard as balls.
This is a great countdown
I know im late commenting on this by 3 years but there are a lot of games you left out and one of those is Ghostbusters. Now thats a great game with a killer soundtrack
Bloodlines is just too good, one of the best Genesis games
Resident evil 1&2 on the original PlayStation.
As a kid that first cutscene in the first game always scared the hell out of me. Those games were just so atmospheric to me at the time.
This is way late, but Zero Tolerance is another creepy game. A FPS that's fun with a high replay value. Especially fighting the last boss. A huge area with doors as your battleground and the creature chases you opening those doors.
Never really found games to be scary. However the first Silent Hill game was unnerving especially in the school when the things kept fading in and out in the dark. Also remember playing resident evil 3, when Nemesis would follow you into a room or burst in through a window kind of startled me lol.
Echo the dolphin is by far the scariest game sega ever made
The problem with horror games today is there's just not enough Zombie-Hitler-heads-hiding-in-my-toilet jumpscares.
Space Quest 3 is one of my favorite sierra games. I have a CIB copy in my game room on display
Splatterhouse was released on the FM Town Marty.
I love this channel! Here are a few fun games to check out:
NES: River City Ransom (you punch your way to your girlfriend) and Astyanax (bizarre cut scenes).
SNES: Terranigma (my God, the stort) and Earthbound (just super fun and creative).
Thank you for the kind words. Excellent choices and thank you for sharing! Glad you're enjoying the show! I enjoyed River City Ransom a lot and need to do a review on it at some point - my buddy and I did a playthrough over on my side channel although we didn't know what we were doing :D
""Sweet sweet nectar. It's like my pool is tearing ass round my back yard, but it's stayin still. Still waters run deep." Carl Brutananadilewski
The oozes the opening to that game use to scare me as a kid every time I see it.
Invaders from Mars I've been trying to remember the name of that movie forever thank you
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a great game to play with a friend and drink a lot of beers while playing. Poulterguy is a great game to smoke weed while playing.
I beat ghosts n ghoblins once. Then it said I have to play again. And that was it for me
I know it's not a Sega game but for me, Alien Syndrome was a scary game to play as a little kid. It was one of my favorite games though..
Any Ghosts and Goblins game is brutally difficult. I never beat any of them, but I did get to Level 6 on the NES version. Sadly, it’s sadistic enough of a game that savestates don’t even help you that much.
I'm pretty sure splatterhouse the first one was released on the turbo graphics 16 which was competition to the Sega Genesis. That happens in 1990 or 1989. I remember this because the turbo graphics 16 was my second console, my first being the Nintendo entertainment system with that robot, the gun, two games super Mario Bros and legend of Zelda and two control pads. Sega Genesis was my third console.
Damn I struggled with Shakan the forever man, confusing and slow but the details are amazing plus the music was great.
Haunting was so badass back in the day.
Seems rather unfair for Polterguy to scare the whole family when it was only Mr Sardini who screwed him over. Consider how much more sinister it would be to just scare Mr Sardini only, and then have his family think he's gone insane.
Interesting take... Yeah, it's kind of a jerk move on Polterguy's part.
@@FridayNightArcade I think his kids are probably raised like that: Spoiled, probably bullies because "your father is the rich industry giant", probably corrupt so teachers and cops don't do anything. With a snobby wife and an a-hole father, I don't think the kids are sweethearts. I also think the kinda stereotypical but also signalling choice of hair colour (black) means they are supposed to be as equally mean as his father. (Imagine Mimi having blonde, open hair - totally different impression immedatiely).
EDIT: There you go. Look at them, and their "hobbies". th-cam.com/video/xZd5okmCgww/w-d-xo.html
Thanks 🙏 for all of YOUR HARD WORK AND I HAVE ENJOYED IT ALL TO THE LAST SIP!!!!! Lol God bless ya all today Shalom
Ecco the Dolphin is the scariest Sega game!
My Zaydee says we are only allowed to play Bible Adventures by Wisdom tree for NES on Yom Kippur...but sometimes I sneak and play Burger Time.
As a 96 baby i only got to play like 2 of these games 1 being zombie ate my neighbor and that was my favorite as a kid i used to play on pc all the time
One game I always thought was scary but a lot of fun and pretty in depth on the Sega Genesis was Snatcher. Biggest reason I watched this video was to see if it made the list.
Snatcher was a Mega CD game, not released solely for the Genesis. So it is technically not qualified to be on this list. By the way I was looking for Chakan: The Forever Man.
Daaaaamn. Mr. Sardini's wife got that BASS.
Great list! I would maybe suggest Mystic Defender, even though it's not strictly Halloween, but that game is just really messed up and gruesome. Also, if you don't mind japan-exclusive games I would suggest Dahna: Megami Tanjou as well. It's a very violent action platformer that is inspired by greek mythology and has you riding Frankenstein's monster among other creatures.
Haunting is too OG to be left alone.
Ghostbusters had some pretty gooley stuff I had a some scary moments as a year old.
I beat Ghouls and Ghosts back in the day, great game!
Polterguy concept would make a great mobile game.
Good luck beating the first level in splatterhouse 3 without running out of time
The play control on splatter house 2 www perfect bro. I best the game a million times on the Hardest setting.
I think people are actually complaining about how you can get hit multiple when you get hit by one enemy which is what happens in games like this. This game is just like that Kung Fu game for nes
All games are totally excellent love each one of them splatterhouse games are my favourite
Helloween is coming!!!!
I was actually paranoid and afraid to goto sleep after playing splatterhouse
I used to love playing that game at night alone with them lights off.
Decap Attack was fun spooky surprised it didn't make the list
Zombies ate my neighbours...classic game...I use to play it on SNES...
Only Ghost n Goblins game I ever really gotten into was Gargoyle's Quest II; recently found out it was a spinoff. 😅 Good soundtrack. Will sometimes play it instead of whatever Kemco RPG's I'm playing at the time.
Admittedly Bloodlines is my favorite Castlevania game.
Haunting, played sooo much as a kid always made it to the last level never beat it hah.
I stayed up all night playing ghouls and ghost 👻. Loved that game despite it making me want to thrown my console out on the street.
Great list. I played through the genesis one on "professional" difficulty. Its not much harder than the default. I also went through the arcade version which may have been considerably harder but I cant remember exactly. I also went through the SNES version, though I used save and load state on the second playthrough, semi final dual bosses, where you have to use that short range shitty weapon to beat the game. So I would have to go back to legitamise that one. Of the Ghouls N Ghosts ports the SNES one is the hardest one Im aware of. Ghosts N Goblins, I never beat any of those. The NES one was brutal though.
Splatterhouse 3 is another one I would have to legitamise. I beat most of the levels but theres two mid levels I didnt beat. Maybe 4 and 5. It has passwords so I skipped around. I did not like that game nearly as much as 1 and 2. I felt it was a more repetitive version of streets of rage or another beat em up type game. I prefer the ryhtym of the single plane in 1 and 2 with constant movement through the levels, once you learn the rhythym. 1 and 2 I beat and have up on the channel, as I redid them recently. I wrote a gamefaq very long ago and its one of the only ones on Splatterhouse I believe.
Barely played Polterguy. Monster Party is another great one on NES that gave me that vibe back then. Completed that one. Castlevania games fit the vibe too, especially super castlevania 4.
Zombies ate my neighbors gets TOUGH. I only beat that one on 2 players a while back on SNES. Not sure I even survived til the very end but I think my friend capped it off. Later on if one civilian dies you lose, I believe. On those levels I think there is only 1 person to rescue.
Thought for sure Bram Stokers Dracula was going to make the cut!
Polterguy looks like a great game.
Zombies ate my neighbors was my favorite game
Another great video!
Another fun(ish) scary game on the Sega as well as SNES was Warlock.
Great intro screen and death screen.
You play as a young sorcerer fighting an evil witch, who turns humans into zombies, dogs into hellhounds, brings Gargoyle statues to life. You fight demons, ravens, bats, giant spiders. You even go to a Haunted castle fighting ghosts. Get caught between a side-battle between the witch and another evil sorcerer who shapeshift into monsters.
Go to hell and the devil grants the witch the title of son of satan, turning him into a giant devil himself.
Demon's Crest on the Super Nintendo was amazing and most scariest plus badass game ever. That's my Halloween game I love the most
Agreed -- freaking love that one. The music is so good.
You forgot to include "The Ooze" for Sega Genesis now that game is spooky - freaked out a lot of people back in the day, you might also want to include "Toxic Crusaders".
Man I used to play zombies ate my neighbors all the time got it at K B toys for like 7 bucks in the 90s
