WTF is an arcade pendant?

He just means the arcade "version."

[Tatsujin]

yes, i was. i thought "pendant" is also an understandable english equivalent for "equivalent"? isn't it?

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.

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

Oh 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.
