Sweet Home

[KEVMAN569]

Well Sweet Home is good but it requires a lot of reading being it is a RPG.

You can get an English-translated repro version. I had one for NES and would love to get one for Famicom.

I have this game called Chiller on the nes. It's an arcade port in which you shoot carcasses with the light gun.

I have this game called Chiller on the nes. It's an arcade port in which you shoot carcasses with the light gun.

And it's two players.

Isn't it a bit redundant to shoot at carcasses? 
Or are they zombies and walking around?

i used to play that game in a bar up the street from my house when i was a kid it wasnt that great  as a arcade game cant see it being any good  on the nes.

Honestly, I really like NES Monster Party, Uninvited and Frankenstein.

In the NES version, they're sort of little zombie hands and heads popping out of the ground and moving back and forth...

But in the arcade version...most of the people (not zombies) are split in half on a wall, and all you have to do is blow them up the rest of the way...and there's the occasional spinning wall table in which you have to hit a random body part on the victim in order to gain points 0_0

And every few hundred points, the game says "Good job!" or "sharp-shooter" or something like that.

I have yet to play Uninvited, but do recall begging my mother for it when I saw it in a Toys'R'Us (or similar) mail ad.  Will get it eventually. 

Otherwise, for NES, I consider Swords and Serpents a horror game as it has that feel to it.  In fact, with a couple minor (not even gamplay) improvements, I'd say it is one of the best NES games.  Those improvements would be a save feature (the password system is perhaps the worst of any NES game), and to have the wall clues to the final floor solution be automatically added to an in-game journal of sorts when you find them. 

But the scariest games are the Lolo/Eggerland games.  Sure they are all childish and cartoony, but the Medusas nearly give me a heart attack every time I don't expect them to get me

haha I also crap myself everytime I get killed by those medusa things in lolo without even knowing! Everytime it does happen my heart skips a beat and I just freeze and look at the screen...

[nintendodork]

I don't think these came out for the Famicom, but Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street both have NES games.

That's what happens to me when I see a screamer on Youtube.  I hate those things!

Yeah, those are obvious ones, but they are hardly worth mentioning despite my love for the Nightmare series films.
