Castlevania / Evil Demon Castle Dracula (MSX2) Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translation

 Castlevania / Evil Demon Castle Dracula (MSX2) (10.30.86)

This little known MSX2 version of the original Castlevania features more RPG elements and differing graphics from the NES, such as the striking portrait of Dracula in the background of the final battle. This version of Castlevania is considered highly flawed, but fascinating nonetheless. I first found out about the game from Jeremy Parish's excellent report on the Retronaughts podcast.

The Demon King, Dracula, resurrects!

The thrilling and suspenseful RPG Adventure will have you unable to sleep.

The Demon King, Dracula, resurrects! At an ancient castle in the small, medieval European country of Translvania, the darkness is suddenly torn apart by lightning, marking the revival of evil beings. Followers of a heretical religion begin their 'Black Mass'. A young warrior named Simon shares the blood of the great hero Christopher Belmont. Because of the approaching crisis with the resurrection of the Demon King Dracula, Simon stands up to protect his tiny country. Inheriting his father's secret whip, containing a mysterious power, he alone has headed off towards the Evil Demon Castle.
