thanks for the video.

[@j.goggels9115]

Chakan.

[@moviemetalhead]

Decap Attack was another good Halloween game. You covered Ghosts n Goblins, Splatterhouse and Castlevania as some of my favorite horror themed games from the 16 bit era. I'm a huge fan of early RE(0,1,2,3,CVX,4) so I always make it a point to play them around this time of year. Great selection and vid, Aaron. Thank _you_ for the great content. 🤘

[@osgeld]

yes decap attack, I think that may have been a US only game as its a reskin of a preexisting game (edit it was in europe as well, thanks wikipedia)

[@ninjamaster3453]

6:25 haunting, there was so many unique animations. Impressive

[@fakename503]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a banger. Many a fight between me and my brothers on who got to play the Boy in Co-op.

[@ct-gt2dt]

i share this experience with my cousin lol.

[@captainmartin1219]

Lmao 🤣. I played with my sister so there was no problem.

[@mnomic8371]

I’m surprised The Immortal didn’t get a mention. That was a scary and atmospheric game to play as a kid.

[@FridayNightArcade]

That was Genesis... I covered the NES version in one of my other episodes.

[@randypeppercorn1865]

Yes...That giant spider in the tunnel and its babies...The horror!

[@matthewmattchoo6621]

The Immortal is awesome on Sega Genesis!

[@DJTEKTORO]

Also extremely gory for it’s time.

[@kaiobikeg8749]

Zombies are my neighbors was one of my favorites. Had it for SNES

[@MisterPickle.]

It's zombies ATE my neighbors. But I'm sure that was just autocorrected.

[@edwardsanchez3708]

I wanted that game so bad when I saw it advertised lol

[@WEHRWULF8814]

Way better on SNES

[@captainmartin1219]

They have both games on Xbox live now. Never played the sequel so I will check it out.

[@kaiobikeg8749]

@@captainmartin1219 yep. Bought it last week

[@kingsleysamuelson6528]

The sound and sprites of splatter house 3 have some of the creepiest tones and looks on the genesis and video games in general

[@StarDragonJP]

I'm surprised nobody has tried to make something like Haunting Starring Polterguy again. Game was ahead of it's time

[@sonicmario64]

Here is my Top 10 list of Sega Genesis games that I like to play on Halloween: #10 - Altered Beast #9 - Splatterhouse 2 #8 - Alien Storm #7 - Haunting: Starring Poulter-Guy #6 - Zombies Ate My Neighbors #5 - Splatterhouse 3 #4 - DeCap Attack: Starring Chuck D. Head #3 - Ghouls 'N Ghosts #2 - Castlevania: Bloodlines #1 - Ghostbusters

[@FridayNightArcade]

That's a damn perfect list.

[@foxonoxengames757]

I loved the Polterguy game when I was a kid! Wow! It takes me back! Thanks man. 👍 :)

[@JTSDAD67]

It was my favorite! Haunting was fresh and different and there has never been anything quite like it.

[@josephgrima7981]

Me too bro my neighbor showed me it when I was teen years lol and Chakan the forever man, and Hook were the 3 games all good ones

[@captainmartin1219]

That game was fun as heck. I played it on both on NES and Sega Genesis.

[@foxonoxengames757]

@@captainmartin1219 YES! I cherish those memories. Things were just simpler then. 😪

[@RetroGameNova]

I proudly own Splatterhouse 2 and 3 :D

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

We all know the #1 horror game on Megadrive, Ecco the dolphin, the beginning was creepy as hell as a kid! And the ending was crazy.

[@nooyawker377]

I loved zombies at my neighbors

[@TheoneStanband]

The sega genesis will always be my favorite game console!

[@c.l.7525]

As you were talking about zombies ate my neighbors I was literally thinking of Invaders From Mars...

[@FridayNightArcade]

Love that movie

[@ericyoung3480]

Zombies ate my neighbors is a classic. Just always rage quit cause it’s not an easy game.

[@16-bitjunkie4]

Ahhh Ghouls N Ghosts been playing it since it was released and can play it blind folded. still after all these years I can't get enough of this game....

[@classicmikecade]

Awesome Aaron just awesome! I'm over here smiling ear to ear. Not only did you have Bloodlines but you incorporated my favorite stage and music! I never played Zombies ate my neighbors but I so want to now! Thank you so much for this video. Have a great day!

[@orinanime]

I love Sinking Old Sanctuary!

[@fakename503]

Don't feel bad Friday Night Arcade, Ghouls and Goblins is in my personal list of All-Time Hardest games.

[@CGQuarterly]

I’m going to have to check out that Polterguy game.

[@maxwelsh6121]

It's also on the EA collection for PSP and probably other media as well

[@FridayNightArcade]

I didn't really do it justice in a 90-second blurb and definitely want to back and do a full analysis at some point.

[@akoww1000]

It's a great game :) I enjoyed it so much playing at a friends house I went and bought a sega system and the game the next day lol

[@planescaped]

It's honestly kind of dated by today's standards. Ghost Master is a much better, newer take on the idea. I think there's patches that make it more playable and less Evil Genius/Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines level of jank it was on release. I'd love a new Polterguy/Ghost Master type game though. Come on indie developers! Pick up the slack where AAA have dropped it! Give us the 'Stardew Valley' of ghost management games! :P

[@america912]

Man, used to play that a lot with my sister growing up. Fun fun

[@kyleharmon9548]

I never got around to renting any of these 6. But one I did however was called Beware The Ultimate Evil of Warlock. it's a game based off the Warlock horror movies in which you play a druid who acquires magic spells along the way and uses them to defeat enemies and end bosses. it has a password system but I believe it kinda screws you over in some way and you'd be better off trying to beat in one sitting.

[@treyjohnson82]

Polterguy was really fun!

[@brycestrife5605]

This is my introduction to this channel! I loved the video so I'm excited to check out your content! I'm glad I found you🤙🤙

[@jackofallgames3097]

The darkness of the genesis library was why I picked it

[@Lilithe]

I beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts in a weekend rental but it was hard as balls.

[@tf1090c]

Resident evil 1&2 on the original PlayStation. As a kid that first cutscene in the first game always scared the hell out of me. Those games were just so atmospheric to me at the time.

[@alexbibbs9140]

Splatterhouse 3 was a very scary game. The music alone gave me nightmares.

[@genericnamehere7602]

Someone created a Splatterhouse Doom Mod. There's footage of it on YT.

[@markm4033]

This is way late, but Zero Tolerance is another creepy game. A FPS that's fun with a high replay value. Especially fighting the last boss. A huge area with doors as your battleground and the creature chases you opening those doors.

[@Nick_Nightingale]

Splatterhouse was released on the FM Town Marty.

[@MotherKojiro]

Oh man; Haunting starring Polterguy is great; I spent countless hours on that one. Have you ever played the SEGA Master System of Ghouls & Ghosts? It's very different from the rest of the series; you can find hidden rooms that let you upgrade your weapon, boots (better jumping), helmet (new magic), and even armor (ADDS A LIFE BAR!).

[@Cosmicslopman]

Never really found games to be scary. However the first Silent Hill game was unnerving especially in the school when the things kept fading in and out in the dark. Also remember playing resident evil 3, when Nemesis would follow you into a room or burst in through a window kind of startled me lol.

[@7thangelad586]

I’ve been looking for a video of this theme! It’s great to get into the spooky spirit with a creepy game!

[@hunam1464]

Any Ghosts and Goblins game is brutally difficult. I never beat any of them, but I did get to Level 6 on the NES version. Sadly, it’s sadistic enough of a game that savestates don’t even help you that much.

[@mercuropheliac]

The problem with horror games today is there's just not enough Zombie-Hitler-heads-hiding-in-my-toilet jumpscares.

[@mikel6989]

Space Quest 3 is one of my favorite sierra games. I have a CIB copy in my game room on display

[@arcticdon2454]

Another great video. As always appreciate your work. Keep it spooky man. Have a great day

[@carlosmartell2215]

Damn I struggled with Shakan the forever man, confusing and slow but the details are amazing plus the music was great.

[@monkeyswithnukes5950]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a great game to play with a friend and drink a lot of beers while playing. Poulterguy is a great game to smoke weed while playing.

[@coolerthanafrieza4726]

As a 96 baby i only got to play like 2 of these games 1 being zombie ate my neighbor and that was my favorite as a kid i used to play on pc all the time

[@justinphilips]

I loved Haunting & Z.A.M.N. as a kid, but could never beat them. I found the splatter house games later as an adult, and enjoyed beating them! Nice list!

[@coolarmykid1332]

The oozes the opening to that game use to scare me as a kid every time I see it.

[@midnightmike9968]

I know it's not a Sega game but for me, Alien Syndrome was a scary game to play as a little kid. It was one of my favorite games though..

[@Viper1000100]

My Zaydee says we are only allowed to play Bible Adventures by Wisdom tree for NES on Yom Kippur...but sometimes I sneak and play Burger Time.

[@JRvonnegut]

I beat ghosts n ghoblins once. Then it said I have to play again. And that was it for me

[@Dustrauma]

Haunting is too OG to be left alone.

[@alexanderwesner9980]

Ghostbusters had some pretty gooley stuff I had a some scary moments as a year old.

[@Scratchyjackscratch]

I beat Ghouls and Ghosts back in the day, great game!

[@ratpatrol07]

One game I always thought was scary but a lot of fun and pretty in depth on the Sega Genesis was Snatcher. Biggest reason I watched this video was to see if it made the list.

[@conradhartgmx]

Snatcher was a Mega CD game, not released solely for the Genesis. So it is technically not qualified to be on this list. By the way I was looking for Chakan: The Forever Man.

[@laurapawlak252]

I love this channel! Here are a few fun games to check out: NES: River City Ransom (you punch your way to your girlfriend) and Astyanax (bizarre cut scenes). SNES: Terranigma (my God, the stort) and Earthbound (just super fun and creative).

[@FridayNightArcade]

Thank you for the kind words. Excellent choices and thank you for sharing! Glad you're enjoying the show! I enjoyed River City Ransom a lot and need to do a review on it at some point - my buddy and I did a playthrough over on my side channel although we didn't know what we were doing :D

[@chumorgan443]

Polterguy concept would make a great mobile game.

[@TraitofSiNN727]

Zombies ate my neighbours...classic game...I use to play it on SNES...

[@theusher2893]

Admittedly Bloodlines is my favorite Castlevania game.

[@Aristocards]

Gratz on 4 years!

[@FridayNightArcade]

Hey thanks!

[@cocomunga]

Polterguy looks like a great game.

[@vitaltoe7926]

Good luck beating the first level in splatterhouse 3 without running out of time

[@blacknyc22]

The first horror titled game to scare the crap out of me was Silent Hill on PS1. Some reason schools and wheelchairs creeps me out.

[@ced214]

Scariest game I ever played on Genesis.....Chakan

[@coltonmacaluso2906]

Thought for sure Bram Stokers Dracula was going to make the cut!

[@treyjohnson82]

This is a great countdown

[@iuriiusgt]

Helloween is coming!!!!

[@Yuzoboy]

I always felt Alien 3 was a scary game. Probably due to the intro screen for each stage being a drooling Alien.

[@chrislowe2793]

Actually SPLATTERHOUSE was released on the Turbo Graphix 16.

[@captainmartin1219]

I stayed up all night playing ghouls and ghost 👻. Loved that game despite it making me want to thrown my console out on the street.

[@GisherJohn24]

I never beat ghouls and ghosts. That game was and still is ultimately brutal. The snes version was better imo because it had double jump.

[@unclebobboomergames]

I really wanna play zombies ate my neighbors again. Only played it once

[@dub_uno]

I was actually paranoid and afraid to goto sleep after playing splatterhouse

[@captainmartin1219]

I used to love playing that game at night alone with them lights off.

[@FreedomDaveX]

Don’t forget about Kid Chameleon. That game is really nightmarish.

[@shouryuuken4147]

Great list! I would maybe suggest Mystic Defender, even though it's not strictly Halloween, but that game is just really messed up and gruesome. Also, if you don't mind japan-exclusive games I would suggest Dahna: Megami Tanjou as well. It's a very violent action platformer that is inspired by greek mythology and has you riding Frankenstein's monster among other creatures.

[@roughy762004]

Loved and subscribed!!!

[@nsptyty9617]

You forgot to include "The Ooze" for Sega Genesis now that game is spooky - freaked out a lot of people back in the day, you might also want to include "Toxic Crusaders".

[@ReverendBenzo]

I wonder if I can comvince my whiny customers that "don't wanna" wear a mask that they will get super powers if they do.

[@dibgirr]

Splatter house one was also on turbo graphics.

[@josephgrima7981]

I never played zombies ate me neighbors but it looks really cool

[@robwilson4511]

Haunting was so badass back in the day.

[@muneno1066]

Great vid I'll have to check those out

[@MrMackmonster]

The polterguy game was awesome!!!!

[@thekenjirosangaarena]

Chakan The Forever Man should have been in this list with, Moonwalker👍

[@nitrokid]

Dude, I used play this game ALL THE TIME.

[@planescaped]

I remember playing Polterguy back in the day. We rented it a number of times, and it was quite fun at the time. Bit dated now. Which we could get a true sequel to Ghostmasters that's not so buggy.

[@THELONDONCHANNEL]

I remember playing the poltergeist game

[@Vans_WW]

Is this a real Splatterhouse 3 cart? Perhaps a PAL version? I have _never_ seen that "Fairlight" subtitle before, however, I have only played the Japanese version. In the Japanese version, only "Splatterhouse PART 3" is displayed in the title screen. The title screen in the american version is completely different, as it is simply called "Splatterhouse 3" as seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2jKlWWuft2sma8 I am very curious as to why it is called fairlight here.

[@Vans_WW]

FWIW: World of longplays _also_ has video footage of this "Fairlight" version, perhaps running on real hardware (?): kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3XNi3iNp7OKftk does anyone have any information on where this fairlight version came from?

When I was a kid in the 1990's I saw this game in a 7-11

[@KenMasters.]

Which one?

[@Proticity]

I am STILL waiting for Part 2...

[@Sniper_T_2x]

I swear the castlevania game looks just like rocket knight adventure

[@orinanime]

Another great video! Another fun(ish) scary game on the Sega as well as SNES was Warlock. Great intro screen and death screen. You play as a young sorcerer fighting an evil witch, who turns humans into zombies, dogs into hellhounds, brings Gargoyle statues to life. You fight demons, ravens, bats, giant spiders. You even go to a Haunted castle fighting ghosts. Get caught between a side-battle between the witch and another evil sorcerer who shapeshift into monsters. Go to hell and the devil grants the witch the title of son of satan, turning him into a giant devil himself.

[@matthewmartin6271]

Haunting, played sooo much as a kid always made it to the last level never beat it hah.

[@eyeln9ne696]

@@FridayNightArcade I never owned a genesis growing up, but I played it a lot at my friends houses. I was born in 81', so I was lucky enough to grow up while videogames grew up. My first system was an Atari 2600, and I owned every console after, except genesis. I love your videos because I can relate with them. However during the early console wars, I was on team Nintendo. Great job, and keep it up.

[@FridayNightArcade]

Thanks for sharing and thank you for the kind words, Nazz. Sounds like we had a similar history. Born in 81 as well and we also had the 2600. I've still got that thing and somehow it still works lol. I was totally a Nintendo kid as well growing up and had each generation. Although now that I'm older, I just try to find interesting/fun games on any console and don't really have a preference to one or the other. My go-to would probably always be the NES just because those games are in-grained in my psyche, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can about all the stuff I missed out on along the way.

is that sierra catalogue you show at the end of the video the fall '88 one from SQ3?

[@ImaFnT-Rex]

most all of them was scary on the Sega because of the sound processor lol

[@Thor13Lel]

i still remember "Warlock"

[@Sinn0100]

I wonder what Splatter House would have looked on a Sega Genesis *original? I truly enjoyed all three Splatter House games and man were they freaking hard. Castlevania Bloodlines was good but I was irritated as it looks great but I expected far more. I had the Sega Genesis/Sega CD and Snes when tis game hit. Castlevania IV was so much bigger and longer in every way. I felt they kind if cheated us Sega fans. Yes, I lived it but too me it didn't feel entirely like a true Castlevania title. I will say the graphics however were damn good. It's one of those games that shows the Genesis could do those Snes tricks just fine. Zombies Ate My Neighbors was absolutely fantastic! I wound up getting it for my Snes and I don't really know how. One day I had it and I seriously don't know where the Hell I got it. I hot it during my heavy partying days (16-24) and likely I grabbed it by mistake in a drunken stupor. Often times my friends and I would go clubbing until 3-4AM and go back to the party house too play video games until we collapsed. Go to school, work, visut our parents homes whatever, and repeat this ad nauseam. My favorite was when I would wake up with new games in bed with a girl I have no idea remembering meeting. Ghouls N' Ghosts was a game I got with my Genesis in 1989 and I loved it. I have beaten GnG many times over the years and I keep coming back for more. Actually, I recently beat it on my Genesis Mini and Core Grafx Mini back to back. It was really neat getting to play the mythical Supergrafx version for the first time and I love it. I still prefer the Genesis version as the Supergrafx take is quite a bit harder, if you can believe it. It's like taking the Genesis version and adding double the RNG with some very strange sound effects. Seriously, when you pick up armor it sounds so freaking strange to me and the music is a hair flatter. Congratulations on your continued success here on KZbin! I think I have been watching for a little over a year...I can't remember as this COVID 19 business has played Hell on my grasp on events. I know we've only been on "lockdown" for a few months but it feels like it's been a freaking year already.
