After striking gold in the arcades with Splatterhouse, it looked as if developer Namco had doomed the game to obscurity with a port to NEC TurboGrafx-16.

Whenever people talk about early Castlevania, it seems that it’s always the console games that get the most attention, and rightfully so.

Most people think of Resident Evil when you mention the words “Survival Horror”, and rightfully so. Of course, you get old-school gamers who will also mention Capcom’s Sweet Home or Infrogrames’ Alone in the Dark.
