Haunted Castle

Haunted Castle is one of the forgotten Castlevania titles, released for arcades without any explicit connection to the series (at least in America and Europe). It's also hella hard. Good music, though.

Unused Graphics


There are 4 unused sprites in Haunted Castle. From left to right, we have what appears to be the icon for a Bible subweapon (no such item appears in any capacity), what appears to be a vial of holy water (one of the traditional Castlevania subweapons, replaced with a bomb and a torch in this game), a broken rubber duck, and, for some bizarre reason, a rotting green heart labeled "DANNY".

Version differences
Haunted Castle has 2 revisions: Version K, the original, and Version M, an altered version with fewer enemy drops and harder-hitting enemy attacks.
