Sidearms

A coin-op game released by Capcom/Romstar in 1986. The full title was Sidearms Hyperdyne in the U.S. and Hyperdyne Sidearms in Japan. Sidearms was a very underated and somewhat rare shooter/shmup with a Robo-Tech type theme. The game featured both 1 and 2 player simultaneous action, horizontal and vertical scrolling, several stages ranging from moderate to downright difficult, challenging and sometimes huge bosses, a special power-up that unlocked a dual mecha transformation and other bonus features. The game was ported mostly to computers such as the Atari ST, and Commodore 64 as well as the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 and also Sony's PSP in a Capcom compilation. Sidearms was the second game in a series known as "Jetpack Hero" which started with Section-Z and ended with Forgotten Worlds. They are related only in that they have a similar layout and gameplay; each game in the series has it's own storyline.

"I can't believe how accurate this port of Sidearms is and the sound is better than the arcade verion!!"

Psychosis

A difficult, side-scrolling, 2D shooter/shmup set in a bizarre fantasy world in which the player must guide a star fighter while destroying strange enemies and weird end-bosses along the way. Psychosis (Paranoia in Japan) was made in 1990 by Naxat Soft and released for the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16. Due to the the TurboGrafx-16's unpopularity, Psychosis became a sleeper hit.

Gamer A: "How do I get the butterflies to show up at the boss scene in Psychosis?"

Gamer B: "You have to protect the worm from the ants."

Splatterhouse

Released in 1988 by Namco, Splatterhouse was one of the most bloody, grotesque and violent coin-op games ever made. Even by today's standards, it's primitive 2D graphic displays of blood and gore are enough to traumatize a 10 year old child. The object of the game was to guide the bulky, hockey mask wearing, hero, "Rick" through several levels of a horrid mansion in order to rescue his girlfriend Jennifer who mysteriously disappeared into it's hellish depths. The game play is similar to old beat'm ups like Kung-Fu and Vigilante. Although never released outside of Japan, a slightly edited console port did make it to the TurboGrafx-16. With it's intense horror theme, creepy music and fun beat'em up action, Splatterhouse's popularity lead to two sequels released for Sega's Megadrive/Genesis consoles.

Rick: "I've been playing Splatterhouse on my TG16 and now I have to sleep with the lights on!"

Jennifer: "If you think that's scarey, you should play the arcade version!!"
