Most violent classic console video games? nothing past 16 bit era

Going by perception of the masses it went from Splatterhouse to Mortal Kombat. I'd like to throw in Snatcher though. Had both instances of physical violence, head-less corpses etc and inflicted psychological trauma. I think the latter type of violence has a more subtle, yet deeper and lasting effect.

Time Killers was pretty raw as far as I can remember. Cutting off your enemy's limbs was actually a game play mechanic!

3x3 Eyes for the PC Engine gets pretty crazy and violent.

The Immortal for Genesis has a lot of gory death scenes, including decapitation, dissolving by acid, head exploding, etc.

Although they didn't have blood and gore, I always thought Out of This World and Heart of the Alien were filled with gruesome deaths.

The genesis really does make the snes look like its so politically correct.

How about Doom, and specifically Doom 2(pretty damn packed with plenty of gore).

Sweet home for nes. Arguably the first survival horror game that also sported some great blood splatters and dismbowlement.
