The FM Towns version, ported by Ving Co. and released only in Japan in 1992, is a pixel-perfect rendition of the original arcade, with no substantial changes apart from a new menu interface in the title screen. A few sound effects were changed or even removed, such as the intro theme to Stage 4 being cut and the thunder in Stage 3 sounding heavier compared to the original. There was also an LCD handheld version released, titled "Splatter House", but it is not a port of either games. It is considered to be an original "Splatterhouse" game in and of itself, though many elements in it are similar to the original game.
