Before the SNES Castlevania IV was released Konami made a very similar Dracula for the X68000. Packaged in their deluxe case this game was largely unknown until a few years ago when copies started appearing on ebay (And selling for mad amounts!). Re-released for the Playstation as Castlevania Chronicles in 2000, this game features incredible graphics that were astounding then and impressive even now. A full MIDI soundtrack and hard-drive installation made this game, and the X68000, the wild wet dream of anyone in the West using their ST or Amiga, or worse, PC. It was years before the Western world caught up to this level of style and ability. |
