Now, nearing its 30th anniversary, it’s officially joined Nintendo Switch’s library of NEOGEO Masterpieces. Anyway, this 1988 masterpiece was initially an arcade game that would be released on the Turbo-Graphx in 1990. I guess you could say I wanted to live vicariously through it. It was an interesting reversal of the slasher, turning the victim into the stalker with all of the power. The big one was Splatterhouse, an Evil Dead II and Friday the 13th-inspired slasher game of sorts* that followed a kid, who would turn into a Jason Voorhees-like character after putting on “the Terror Mask”. I was pretty jealous of everyone who had either, especially the handheld versions.īut my jealousy never stemmed from the system itself, but from the games that I couldn’t own.

I’m sure what the price point was on them, but I always thought the graphics looked amazing, with the colors really popping out of the screen. While everyone I knew had a Nintendo or a Genesis, only those lucky individuals had the aforementioned machines. I don’t recall how these two go hand in hand, but when I was little both the NEOGEO and Turbo-Graphx 16 were a pretty big deal.
