Editor notes (2)

Very similar to Castlevania but the gameplay is different and has gameplay elements not present in the NES version.

The granddaddy of the series, before it was even called 'Castlevania'. Fans of the NES original will instantly see the level similarities, although the game has a 'find a key to go to the next area' sort of style.
