Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega, Master System. ![]()
“Those GOD DAMN hedgehogs are always eating my turnips. Ooooh, if I catch one, I will make you a hedgey sandwich. Or maybe a hog pie.”
Splatterhouse 2, Namco Bandai, Sega Genesis. ![]()
“You better not splatter this house! It took me months to scrape all the jam off of the porch.”

Star Parodier, Hudson, TurboGrafx-16. ![]()
“What in the name of the monkey’s pants are you talking about? No one parodies the stars. If any one dared to parody Clark Gable, he’d give him a good wallop.”
Break In, Naxat Soft, TurboGrafx-16. ![]()
“BREAK IN!? CAT BURGLARS!? HAAAAAAAAALP! HAAAAAAALP! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ACK MY HEART! *COUGH* *GAG* *SPUTTER* *DROOL*”

“My fourth husband was the Omega Man. Oh, Vincent Price, my love, where are you today?”
Neo Turf Masters, D4 Enterprise, Neo Geo.![]()
“HOW DARE YOU MENTION THOSE HEDGEHOGS AGAIN IN THIS HOUSE! They’re always eating my turnips, you know. Some day I will be the turf master and they will be slaves. We still have those, right?”

Ys Book I & II, Nihon falcom, TurboGrafx-16. ![]()
“The good book is the way to lead your life, my boy. The second is nothing but poofters and forgiveness. You look like you need a little more wrath and judgment in your life.”
Samurai Showdown II, D4 Enterprise, Neo Geo. ![]()
“Good ol’ John Wayne was the winner of most showdowns. At high noon! In front of the saloon! It’s a shame what those samurai did to him. Cut him to shreds. Awful, just awful.”
