PCE Works Splatterhouse repro set

From the official site:
"May 18, 2017
CLEAVERS & BROOMSTICKS

This month's double feature focuses on two of the most iconic PC ENGINE titles, SPLATTERHOUSE and MAGICAL CHASE. But instead of just aiming at the PCE renditions of these titles, we went beyond the scope of our regular presentations and created two neat little fan packages, that aren't exclusively aimed at PCE users, but at fans of these two games in general.

Both titles include japanese* HuCards, a black one for Splatterhouse and and a white one for Magical Chase. The included HuCards were provided by TG-16 Mods in Canada. They do great work and you can get in touch with them for all your HuCard needs. (*US-compatible HuCards on request)

The Splatterhouse package combines the japanese HuCard version of the game with the FM Towns conversion (complete with manual and registration card), the arcade-perfect japanese 32-bit Windows version and an additional disc with an emulated PCE version (in case you don't have access to your japanese PCE). Also included is a woven Splatterhouse patch, an collectable enamel pin and a bunch of printed extras.

Magical Chase get you the japanese HuCard version (plus japanese full color manual), the rare japanese 16-bit Windows version and an additional disc with an emulated PCE version for quick access on modern PCs. Also included is an enamel pin, post cards and a double-sided A3 art print with the new art by Nashi.

Due to the limited nature of the extras and the included HuCards, we will only be offering a single batch of these two. One these are gone, there won't be any restock. Double sets include one of our collector's coins and of course a free copy of Alzadick will be included with all orders (while stocks last for both the coins and Alzadick).

(Windows versions of both games have been tested on a number of systems, but compatibility, especially of the japanese windows versions remains limited and basic knowledge about locale emus might be required.)"

PCE Works Splatterhouse repro set reissue

From the official site:
"August 17, 2023
CLEAVERS AND BROOMSTICKS V2

Finally available! Took us only six years to bring you updated re-issues of our Splatterhouse and Magical Chase sets from 2017. For Splatterhouse we added a second HuCard with the brilliant romhack Splatterhouse Chrome and a great looking TG16 version of Magical Chase is now available as well.

The Splatterhouse LE package includes PCE Splatterhouse and Splatterhouse Chrome on separate HuCards as well as the FM Towns version (in its own jewel case complete with manual) and the arcade-perfect japanese 32-bit Windows version. Also included are postcards, a mini-poster and a glow-in-the-dark sticker. “SH Chrome” is a brilliant romhack and the next best thing to a true Splatterhouse arcade sequel.

The Magical Chase LE gets you the japanese PC Engine HuCard version along with the rare japanese 16-bit Windows version. Also included are postcards, a mini-poster, an enamel pin and a shadow box diorama with a wooden frame.

An US Turbografx-16 version of Magical Chase is available separately. Contrary to the original version from 1994, our version comes with a proper case for the HuCard and not just a plastic tray as some of the very late TG-16 HuCard games did. We have an optional acrylic archival box available (just a few though). If you’re in the US, you’re likely getting off cheaper by getting one from CGA/VGA, but for European buyers, this is a nice opportunity, since those are hard to find in Europe.

We have 100 LE sets each available and these won’t be restocked once gone. We also have a few single HuCards of Splatterhouse, Splatterhouse Chrome and Magical Chase (JP) on hand for those of you who prefer those simpler versions. We expect the TG-16 Magical Chase HuCards to sell out rather quickly, but we should be able to restock those in early 2024.

For prices please refer to the PURCHASE link on top of the page. All available editions are listed there and you can use the quick order form under the same link to place an order.

Orders only containing single HuCards (either PCE or TG-16) are expected to ship in early September, while orders containing one or both of the LE sets are expected to ship two weeks later.

(The windows versions of both games have been tested on a number of systems, but compatibility, especially of the japanese 16-bit indows version of Magical Chase remains limited and basic knowledge about locale emus might be required.)"
