Castlevania

Castlevania is the beginning of the story of the famous series of games about the castle and Count Dracula. Vampire hunter Simon Belmont travels to the Count's sinister residence to put him to rest once and for all (or rather, for the time being). The weapon of the Vampyroborz is a long whip. Other weapons include a knife, an axe, holy water, a boomerang cross and a magic clock. After defeating monsters familiar to us from horror films - the vampire bat, Medusa, mummies, Frankenstein's monster and Death - Simon reaches Dracula's throne room and confronts the lord of the castle himself. The game is challenging, not least because of the peculiar controls, but at the same time it is maddeningly addictive. A timeless NES classic.
