I put my nose to the grindstone this weekend and cranked out 15 more pages of nothingman. A couple hours ago, I finally hit 200 pages in the rough draft! I'm liking how this book is shaping up. Deadline for rough draft completion: March 1. youtu.be/Z10lH4fJEGY?...

Last year brought us Gradius Origins, which was fantastic and included the new Salamander III. I hope that somewhere, right now, M2 is working on a follow-up. No idea what it would be called, except that it would include the following games, a bunch of console ports, and an all-new Gradius VI. (1/2)

Better late than never! This was my Halloween drawing for this year, but oh well, I couldn't finish it in time. Here, have some Splatterhouse stuff! #splaterhouse #fanart #videogames #retrovideogames #horror #slasher

Who remembers this gem of a series, and wishes with ALL their heart it will one day get the reboot it deserves?! 😂 #splatterhouse #splatterhouseart #NAMCO #classichorrorgame #Halloween #artistsonnewgrounds

Isn't it time for Time Pilot?

I absolutely love the Highgate Cemetery level of Nightmare Creatures (PS1). The eerie setting, the unsettling music, and of course, these ghosts that just rise from their graves at random with an eerie moan. They do absolutely nothing other than add to the atmosphere.

Ever see any of the little "hidden details" in Splatterhouse 3? If not, here you go: splatterhouse.kontek.net/sh3bonus.html

AND YOU SAY YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0Cu...

Let's talk Splatterhouse 2010. As you may (or may not) know, the game had its share of behind the scenes issues, like switching studios mid-development, and the end result was mixed. What would you have changed/fixed, if you'd been in charge and had more time?

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti stickers!

I didn't contribute to this (sorry Cap), so I figured I would list my top three games of 2025, along with an honorable mention.

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (1989) for Nintendo Famicom by Namco.

What game am I playing? Hint: it's on the PS1.

My kids told me this was Rick Taylor. (a very long time ago)

As I continue to hammer away at the book, my middle daughter has been working on some concept art for me. Posted with her permission, here's an early sketch of one of the main characters, Rose.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers A childhood favorite of mine. I even wrote an article about it for @hg101.bsky.social. www.hardcoregaming101.net/downland/

Splatterhouse: recreation of the classic arcade opening for the PC Engine instruction manual.

Hey all, it's 2026. I'm glad to say that my current book is on the fast track to having the rough draft completed. I've been writing like a madman. No AI has been used in its creation, this is all me. Got any questions about it? Want further updates? Let me know, and I'll reply (no spoilers!).

From all of us here at West Mansion (me), Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that jazz. See you sometime next year.

Submitted for your approval: one gray cat.

No Splatterhouse today, just Jonesy.

A long-standing mystery has been solved. This pirate Famicom multicart turned up about 20 years ago, with an unknown piece of Splatterhouse artwork on it. Turns out that artwork is from Marukatsu PC Engine - Volume 16 - April 1990. Thanks to @gamingalexandria.bsky.social for the magazine scan!

Getting close to the end of the year, so it's time for my year end wrap-up. - My presence here will be dramatically scaled back in 2026. - For that matter, expect West Mansion updates to slow down (yes, even slower than they are now). (1/6)

Working on something new for West Mansion. I was thinking about showcasing some games that have the same/similar horror vibes as Splatterhouse, and play almost the same too. For example, Night Slashers would be comparable to Splatterhouse 3. Any suggestions? Let me know.

What if...

Only 99 cents? That's a good deal.

I really have to think back for this one. I want to say that it was the SNES port of Gradius III, although there is a slim possibility it was the NES Life Force. Given that it happened nearly forty years ago, though, I'm just going to go with Gradius III.

What my head feels like right now.
