@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Yes, it is.  The more common definition of pendant is something suspended from above, such as a light fixture or ornament.

–noun Also pendent.

1. a hanging ornament, as an earring or the main piece suspended from a necklace. 
2. an ornament suspended from a roof, vault, or ceiling. 
3. a hanging electrical lighting fixture; chandelier. 
4. that by which something is suspended, as the ringed stem of a watch. 
5. a match, parallel, companion, or counterpart. 
6. Also, pennant. Nautical. a length of rope attached to a masthead, the end of a yardarm, etc., and having a block or thimble secured to its free end. 


It's an obscure use, but not inaccurate. I've always known what you were talking about but it's not unthinkable some folks might not understand.

awack

Had to go with ICOM due to beyond shadowgate and shape shifter, i do have alot of nostalgia for splatterhouse though.

QuoteOh I know. I find that Splatterhouse 2 and 3 on the Genesis are good, but don't have the quality of graphics and colour that's on the Turbo
Yeah, you can only go up from splatterhouse 2, damn that game is ugly, 3 looks pretty good from the screenshots i have seen.
