    Have you had a couple of lines of Charlie Sheen or a bottle of Tiger Blood?

    Splatterhouse being one of them, the differences are noticable if you have the PC Engine and Arcade versions handy, but otherwise the PC Engine version is pretty much spot on gameplay wise and level wise, just a few minor graphical compromises made, but really not that many.

    I love the music in the Super Street Figher video. It's different to any other version that I've heard.

    Not too much to elaborate.

    Princess maker was a game where you were given a girl to raise. In the game you had to fill her daily schedule, and the tasks you gave to the girl determined the ending of the game (her final personality). Eventually she may raise into a princess, or into a crime lord. It seems that it was a very popular game in Japan (a very popular tamagotchi?).

    Prostitute maker seems to be an "adaptation" of that concept, an it was made only for X68000. It can be found on internet, but there is almost no data about it.

    It is one of those things that make more sense for korean or japanese people.

    I remember reading in Mean Machines and the like about the Sharp X68000 back in the lates 80's. This reminded me that I should have looked up its conversion of Space Harrier as I remember Julian Rignall raving about.

    I can see why:

    Remember this was before the Megadrive came out.
