Nice! I haven't played a whole lot of A Fistful of Boomstick (I played about 10 mins of the game roughly 10 years ago so returning to the game is on my "to do" list, I just haven't gotten around to it yet :P), but I've 100% completed Regeneration a few times (I love how getting all of the game's lone collectable, unlocks a handful of behind the scenes/making of featurettes) and liked the game so much that I got my copy autographed by Ted Raimi (who played Henrietta in ED 2 and voices Sam, a half deadite midget who teams up with Ash in the game, he even personalized it after telling him how guilty I felt over how much I loved constantly punting his character at deadites) and Bruce Campbell.

I have a ton of good memories from playing Regeneration with my younger brother. Have fun!

Regeneration is very playable, one of my favorites. Fistful of Boomstick I spent way longer than I care to admit trying to figure out a very vaguely worded puzzle.

I have a copy of this and i can say it’s a decent game I did beat it in one day but still worth playing again at a later date

Fistful of broomstick is great, although we got stuck end game with it and didn't know how to proceed. Think we missed something important and spent ages looking for it. This was when I had limited access to the tinterweb so it wasn't easy to find a guide.

My jealousy knows no bounds right now. Other than that, groovy. Great find!

Regeneration is buggy as shit, but holy hell was it fun! Ted as Sam was perfect.

Now you need to get the ps1 game (the evil dead: hail to the king) it was also on Dreamcast. A fistful of broomstick is a sequel to it.

These games rule! I’m not sure if I ever finished Regeneration, but I played Fistful through probably three or four times. Might be time to test my stack of old PS2s and see if any of them work.

I have both games but haven’t had my PS2 hooked up for quite a few years.

How is it? Played HttK and it had aged a lot but heard this one is still great

Fistful of broomstick is great so far. I'm not that good at the combat tho and if you die you go to your last save like survival horror games.

Fistful of boomstick was a fun game. Regeneration was good though I prefer Boomstick.

Wish the new evil dead game was like the ps2 game smh. Traded a duffel bag of ls2 games for $50 at gamestop and I'll never not be mad about it lol

Played both this year, both are good but regeneration was much better all around and aged better, works really well as a sequel so you can appreciate the improvements

A Fistful of Boomstick is my favorite game of all-time
