Rather than panicking the populace of the nearby village, the gravedigger sets out to deal with the problem himself, coming across all sorts of ghouls, monsters, and undead creatures who attack him on his path to find the grave robber. Nightmare in the Dark begins with a gravedigger coming across ransacked graves. It not only nails the horror aesthetic players would be looking for, but it brings a very different style of play than other games within the niche, even if the gameplay seems to be heavily inspired by the game Snow Bros. When discussions about horror-themed arcade games you can play around Halloween crop up, The House of the Dead and Splatterhouse tend to be the names that come up, but I believe SNK’s Nightmare in the Dark deserves just as much attention for that particular niche.
