Castlevania is an action platformer for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Known in Japan as Akumajou Dracula ("Demon Castle Dracula"), this game is about a clan of vampire hunters known as the Belmonts hunting down and killing Dracula himself.

You play as Simon Belmont, and fight your way through Dracula's castle (known in English as "Castlevania", a portmanteau of Castle and Transylvania, har har). You have many weapons at your disposal. Your main weapon, the Vampire Killer whip has somehow been passed down through the Belmont clan for generations. You can get power ups for that (essentially changing it from a leather whip, to a short chain, and longer chain whip). You also have many sub-weapons, which require hearts to use. These include a knife, throwing axe, holy water, cross boomerang and stopwatch (which freezes all enemies on screen). You can only throw one of these in a certain period of time, unless you get the "II" and "III" powerups.

Castlevania - Prelude Of Darkness (Collection)

This package contains 3 Versions of the latest release Of
Castlevania - Prelude Of Darkness.
For about 3 years now we have been working on an idea for a hack for the first Castlevania on the NES, using new character sprites as well as boss modification.
All of the Levels have been re-edited to fit the environment of the new story line.

(Regular Version)
This version is a re-vamped version of Castlevania - Prelude Of Darkness 1.0
We have updated major and minor mistakes that caused the game to either glitch or have too many references to the original game.

(Easy Type)
This is a watered down version of the game for players that felt the game was way too hard for them or players that are just starting out in the hacking field and wanted something that was more like what they were used to.

(Hard Type)
This is a version of the game that has been edited for Pros only. If you felt the Original Version was too easy or if you just wanted to have a new challenge to face, this is it.
As said from my fellow creators this is very much like a Second Quest through the game.

All in all we are happy with the final product,
Though there were still some minor things we felt could have been worked on for better game play, we tested this game over and over either using Save States or attempting 100% Walkthroughs. We felt that this is quite a good game considering it is our first public release.
And in the future who knows, we might work on a Sequel or try something new. Only time will tell.

!!ENJOY!!
