>>119744Well, I guess the part where you punch a monster so hard in the face that his entire body violently explodes into visceral gore is something Splatterhouse has in common with Doom, but that's a superficial one, Doomguy also needs a powerup to actually swing a punch that hard (and he uses a knuckleduster), while Rick Taylor can do that with a couple of hits with his bare hands at any time. But on the other hand, it's the power of the Terror Mask which lets Rick actually do that, so maybe it's kind of even.
Adrian Carmack probably liked Splatterhouse a lot, at least for its fantastically gory visuals.
