Akumajō Dracula (Sharp X68000) Longplay

Akumajō Dracula is a 1993 Castlevania game released in Japan on the Sharp X68000 home computer. It is a remake of the original Akumajō Dracula (Castlevania). Due to the X68000 not being released outside of Japan, this game never saw an international release. ============================================================== PLOT ============================================================== Since the game is a remake of the original Castlevania, the storyline is the same as the original Akumajō Dracula. Simon Belmont has to set out to defeat the evil Count Dracula, who has been terrorizing the land. ============================================================== GAMEPLAY ============================================================== The Sharp X68000 version is a remake of the original Akumajō Dracula (Castlevania) with redesigned stages and added items taken from games released after the original. Roughly half the stages were directly remade from the original game, with the exclusive stages mostly taking elements from other games. The order of most of the remade levels were also rearranged (e.g.: what was Block 2 in the original game is now Block 4; what was Block 4 is now Block 2, etc.). In regard to music, the game offers three different options to choose from. While the musical score is similar for all three of them, their instrumentations greatly differ from each other. Options given are the internal Yamaha YM2151 FM synth of the unit, Roland LA synthesis (MT-32, CM-32L, CM-64), and Roland GS wavetable MIDI (SC-55, SC-33, SC-155, CM-300, CM-500). ============================================================== Timecode: ============================================================== 00:00 Intro #longplay #retrogaming #castlevania #sharpx68000
