Marketing for the game heavily emphasized its violent nature for example, the TurboGrafx-16 port of Splatterhouse had a faux parental advisory warning printed on the front of the box that read, "The horrifying theme of this game may be inappropriate for young children. This game would later spawn the parody Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti, the sequels Splatterhouse 2, Splatterhouse 3, and the 2010 remake Splatterhouse, with the classic games being added to Namco Museum since 2017. It was the first in a series of games released in home console and personal computer formats. Again, fix checksum, and it will work just fine.Splatterhouse is a beat 'em up arcade game developed and published by Namco. But please, be patient, and again, if you’re having trouble patching this game, it’s going to be the bad checksum that plagues the Japanese dump commonly found online for sure, NOT my patch. Enjoy.įeel free to report any bugs or problems via a PM or in your review, thank you. There is an elusive pair of sprites I could not find, more details in the readme file. No changes were made to the American patch, which remains the exact same.Īll maps of the game have been carefully verified afterwards, and there seems to be no more green blood anywhere, so that should be it. Update v1.2: A patch for the Japanese version has been made, including changes done in 1.1. Update v1.1: The two spots featured in screenshots three and four that still had green blood have been fixed.
The game is left just as you remember, but blood is now red, that is all. This is a strictly color-editing hack, no further changes were made. If you like the original green slime, this hack is obviously not for you. The developers have mentioned so in interviews.
It is more in lieu with what the original developers had in mind, but Namco could not approve due to the strict censorship at the time. Just fix the bad checksum with the tool above, then patch it, that’s it.Īnyway, this is a straight forward hack that simply replaces the green-colored “blood” with the more appropriate red blood. I can’t do anything from my end, the problem is not my patch, but with the ROM dumped online. Thanks to Retroplay for bringing this to my attention and finding a solution. All there is to do if your patch fails to apply, is to use this tool to fix checksum in the rom before applying your patch:
I will put this right up top: the most common dump of the Japanese version of this game has a bad checksum.
