Game Description:
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse an action platforming game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is known in Japan as Akumajou Densetsu.

A new feature added for this game, there are three bosses that the player can recruit: Grant DeNasty (a pirate who can climb walls and is an expert dagger user), Sypha Belnades (a magic user, with various types of magic sub-weapons and a staff) and Alucard (Dracula’s son, who uses Fireballs and can change into a bat). Do note that you can only have ONE of these people on your team, and if you want a different one you have to exchange him/her for your current party member.

Another new feature is the “Choose Your Path” feature. After each stage, most of the time you are given a choice between two new stages to go to next.
