have you played Dracula X on the Snes?

†B†V† :hat

Hold on, before you start debating Dracula X PC Engine Vs. Dracula X SNES

Here's my two cents


The SNES verison has the BEST remix of the orginal BGM compared to the PCE Verison, sure it's missing alot compared to the powerful brother...like bosses, scenes, and stage design

Yet I still enjoy both verisons regardless of differences...Yet I lean towards the SNES for the Music is enhanced and then for a better gameplay experience, the PCE verison hands down....Yet I still love any CastleVania to this day

Well..I was talking about the SNES Dracula X..
In my opinion the PCE Dracula X: Rondo of Blood is a thousand times better, even musicaly, I cannot see how you would prefer the SNES sound chip to actual CD audio...?

Dare to compare Dr_Ackula, you'd be surprise what happens when you compare the two. The cartridge pulled a miracle when it came to the BGM

I know the PC Engine verison is beautiful in everywhere, but I felt some of the tracks on the SNES verison was a clean cut remix

The Snes really had good sound... There are many games that sounded wonderful on the system.

Same thing with the N64.... the cart sounded as good to many of its CD counterparts.

I have not played the PCE Dracula X enough to comment on the sound differences though.
So for this game.. I am not sure on that issue.

Vampire Killer was released in 1986 on the MSX home computer ..yeah. It was more than just a port of Akumojo Dracula, it was different... check here http://www.classicgaming.com/castlevania/vkill.htm

There was also Akumojo Dracula on the Sharp x68000 computer in Japan in 1993..it was later redone and re-released on the PS1 as Castlevania Chronicles.

And yeah Akumajou Dracula Special: Boku Dracula-kun was called Kid Dracula in US. Its still considered a Castlevania game, along with a few other parodies released on Famicom and GB.

Like Kid Dracula's Cameo in the 2nd Parodius game?

Sharp X68K was golden....ever see Final Fight on that baby? phew nice
