Man new school gory games and movies have spoiled games like this one, which was so avant-garde and edgy for its time for me. Makes me wish I came into contact with this game back in the day so I could have truly appreciated it :P
@gkoz004 I very much doubt it considering both where it comes from and the current situation; beckoning makes a lot more sense. Also, look closely at the finger, itself. Looks a hell of a lot more like a beckoning motion.
yeah the fight with the Jeniffer monster in the TG16 version has nothing on this, in the port she says help me before the fight even starts. In this version she's actually happy to see you and it's evident how brutal and painful the transformation is. and the evil laugh every time the monster comes back or kills you makes it even more engaging.
Well she didn't exactly emerge from a freaking cupboard, now, did she? You save her from a mindfuck of a boss after her spirit gets dragged into an alternate dimension by a bunch of demon hands. I don't think she is ALIVE by this point. Besides, "Thank you, goodbye." Is a little bit of an odd choice of words for a doppleganger to use, is it not? "You... You killed me!" Would've made sense. Bottom line: She was possessed/infected/whatever by the creatures. You bring her back in SH2.
Ohh, makes sense now. I thought it was an evil copy of her, I read that on the internet, also because she turns into a ghost and flies out the window, that didn't make much sense. But I understand now.
That's right Jeniffer is DEAD at the end of splatterhouse 1 The reason people think otherwise is mostly due to poor translation of Splatterhouse 2. in the intro the mask says "She doesn't have to die Rick." which is where most of the trouble comes in. Also in the Japanese version it's clear that the first few levels are the ruins of west mansion, this is never mentioned in the American version. Lastly some people just can't put together the if she died how is she alive at the end of 2 thing.
This is great game and I have seen this in 1992 like arcade coin op machine. And i have never seen sublevel in cloak-room after picture gallery sublevel. Im surprised! This game has meny secrets! Excuse my english.
Since it was built for the arcade, sitting around not doing anything was an offense, so most arcade games sent nasties out or environmental hazards to stop you from sitting around.
You go through all the trouble of killing all those mutants and avoiding those little girl ghosts (which are really annoying), and then your girlfriend dies. You're the only suspect, and you lose your job because you keep hitting people. Life is not easy for Rick Taylor. Or Rip Taylor. By the way, does Jenny say, "Oh, my darling," or "Oh. I'm dying?"
This guy has the WORST life ever.I mean,he comes bac and has to do this all again,and then his wife and kid dies.And there are monsters in his own house.
And I wouldn't doubt a few Boreworms and Bigheads got out there,too.That's always nice.
I actually think this is the real jennifer. it was my understanding that she died here and her soul was trapped in the void and that when you rescue her soul from the void she is ressurected.
I hear a ton of different opinions on what happened. many people consider it a fake Jennifer that your fighting. so, apparently it's not that obvious to a good few people. of course there's barely a story here so it doesn't really matter what people think of it. it's all opinionated.
I love it when people look into things too much and they start missing the blatant explanation. It COULD be an explanation, but it's just as plausible as the entire game being the result of a seizure or a massive intake of hallucinogens and that Jennifer is getting the shit beaten out of her by Rick for no good reason.
Where? Where is this void? Where is this nonexistent expositional passage detailing what occurred as Rick was trudging through the mansion?
Hehe. Sorry.
Monsters gathering round her is really the only thing that gives us any sort of clue as to what happened: They have done something to the real Jeniffer. Don't see the false tone in her voice as an evil taunt, either, just see it as bad voice acting. She is probably the real Jen, as she does say "Thank You", after all...
The japanese version of the game probably says that Th boss was the Real Jennifer that Rick killed, and in Splatter house 2 He has to return to the mansion to bringing her back to life by entering the Void and rescuing her soul.
I know about West Mansion, but it's not wise to speculate, it just makes more sense that it's the real Jen. Even if Namco, themselves, tried to come up with an arbitrary plot twist concerning Jen's reappearance, it's just like Capcom trying too hard to come up with a load of bullshit explaining how Wesker survived and whose ending was the true ending in the original.
one question Chebmeh. how did you emulate this? the Splatterhouse i got on Mame is poorly emulated:
the chick ghosts just stand there, the Cross Defeated music is garbled, and the evil uterus level is way too easy (the eggs on the ceiling never hatch).
is something wrong with my mame, or is it my rom? how can i fix it?
In case noone told you, it makes more sense when you're on the left side, but since it's been 3 months since you commented, god knows whether you figured this out or not.
Thanks for the vid, having a hell of a time fighting fake jennifer, as I had no idea what to do when it started doing those short hops, which usually always result in my death(if the level doesn't kill me first that is.)
I remember playing stage 5 for the first time, five years ago. I was upset after seeing Jennifer mutate and then being forced to kill her. I still feel a tear going down my face after the battle...
Splatterhouse was definitely a break in gaming tradition at the time.
my most hated lvl becuz i never got to see wut came after....that damn demon alwayz killed me.....lol n i never knew that the mirror rick came again if u didnt go fite the necromancer but i alwayz liked fighting him
What happens if you linger? Any way tis a privalage to see such skill because i know how hard this game was..can i ask how did you get this game? The stage 5 boss was the fight i had to see.I am amazed he never even hit you.Well done.
acctualy,if you closely at the sprite,you can see its the hands middle finger.similer to the "taunting" ash's hand did in evil dead 2: Dead By Dawn (withcs is one of the reasons everyone says that namco modlded the hands after ash's possesed one)
The Japanese use their middle finger to point and to beckon etc, whereas we use our index finger, therefore due to cultural differences, it's beckoning. But as a US/UK citizen yeah I'd be offended :D

Now I know that, she's begging for help while your fighting her and she has an emotional death scene, for 1988 anyway.

especially when it laughed when turning back again.
