Hack description

With Simon Belmont nowhere to be found to fight Count Dracula from taking over Transylvania, a powerful sorcerer opens a portal into the future and pulls another hero from the Belmont Bloodline, Richter Belmont.

In order for Richter to return to his time, he has to kill the nasty vampire from taking over the country and possibly the world. Will Richter succeed in beat Dracula? Only with your help he can. Do it, do it now! Whee!

Dragonsbrethren gave Googie this hack to finish way back in the mid 2000's, so with some help from the fellas, this hack is done. Couldn't let you down DB.

Thanks to everyone who chipped in over the years, you guys rock. :D

Can Be Better!!Liipeurameshi2024-06-04Version 1.0

Well, how can i say? Yes Look a good hack. I like the sprites, songs and level designs. But there's something that annyoing me. The idiot jumps! Is more harder to Jump and hit candles, than finish the game. Really? I Finish this game just using Save and Load states, cause i need Hearts and subweapons, and it's so hard to use jump and hit candles and enemies, that make me play Dark Souls. I will give Yes to you, cause the rest of the game looks great, but i dont know if i will recommended this hack

A solid hack with potentialInsane Mame Gamer (IMG)2023-01-26Version 1.0

I dig the level design throughout most of the game however, levels 10-12 are somewhat of a convoluted mess and a nightmare to play thru, the sprites here are abysmal in comparison to the rest of the game. For that reason I encourage you to recreate that entire level getting rid of the dingy greens and rusty browns replacing them with brighter more attractive colors and better level design which aligns with some of the more attractive levels. It doesn't do the rest of the game any justice to keep the level the way it is. If I had to rate the game right now I would rate it a 7/10 but if you fix the level up I will rate it a 9 at least or perhaps a 10.

Good Hack, Not Great Though, But Goodnightmare4lol2022-10-08Version 1.0

So, I enjoyed the hack, probably more beginner friendly than most but still good. Like I said nothing too crazy in it to really differentiate it from the original, the new sprites and background changes were nice enough. the best thing is definitely the level layout changes. mixed it up enough to make it feel different, but not always for the better. I mean for the most part it just goes the same as castlevania 1, a few sections a bit tough to get through but the majority were a cake walk, much easier then C1, I mean theres one part where its just two little rooms and then youre on to the next part. The controls take a bit of getting used to, controlling your jump really helped with some of the crazier enemies, but you could argue thats why the original was so much tougher. still good though And the story, I like that its all written here to read, but maybe a cut sceneor to in game would be nice, I mean even between bosses its just dark screened, at least a map or something would be cool. also the end dialogue was a bit too white, kinda hard to read. Something probably happened between the original creator and this one for him to pass it on what was it, 15 years ago?, but I guess that doesnt matter, What I will say though is its cool you got it finished but for it to take that long, maybe just a bit more polish or pizzazz would have been deserving. But who am I to talk, I couldnt make anything half as good as this. all in all good work dude, hope the next one is even better
