It just wouldn't be Halloween without Namco's Splatterhouse, but the series' sole 8-bit entry never made it over here, stateside on the NES. Released for the Famicom in 1989, exclusively in Japan, Wanpaku Graffiti stars protagonist, Rick Taylor, reprising his role in a quest to once again, rescue his beloved Jennifer from within the evil depths of Hell House. How does the series' 8-bit iteration translate into a platformer, and how does it hold up today?
