Have you seen that incredible speed with no slowdowns? All those colorful sprites and explosions? And what about the amazing music? For gamers used to NES shoot 'em ups, Blazing Lazers was like playing a 1994 game, but in 1989. Even now, when we were trying it for this retro gameplay clip, it felt like a really modern game, and of course we'll be coming back for a better score. Despite being one of the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16's early flagships, this space shmup wasn't developed by Hudson, but by the talented team at Compile (Puyo Puyo, Super Bomberman). Its simple but varied weapon system can be tailored based on playstyle, and you only need two buttons (primarily laser / secondary bomb) to master it. Without a doubt, Blazing Lazers, considered the 'spiritual predecessor' of Super Star Soldier, was exactly that, a genre-definer for many others, ahead of its time. It clearly marked NEC's SuperSystem lineup forever, and it did that the decade before shmup's golden years with Saturn and Dreamcast.

With so much splatter and gore, Namco's horror-film infused beat 'em up was one of the most 'mature'/violent games of the 80s. In our struggle to save the kidnapped Jennifer from horrifying creatures (wrong decision), and by wearing a magical mask as a power-up, we had to punch, kick and bat our way through the titular Splatterhouse, which naturally splashes innards across the environment with what were, for the time, pretty shocking visual effects. We play the first two levels of the TurboGraphx-16 version - probably the best port of the arcade game - where you had to hit "Run" instead of "Start". Oh, and either we're terrible at it, or it was really hard and unforgiving. Or a splatter of both...
