Level One: Dracula's Castle

The goal here is pretty simple, just get out of the castle at the bottom of the hallway and get to town without any of the zealots running around the castle getting you. Beware though, one touch from them and you're history. You're not strong enough to take care of the people yourself, but this is YOUR castle, and Dracula is bound to have a few tricks up his sleeve...

Characters and items for Level 1


You, better known as the Count Dracula


Two of many zealots you'll face in getting out of the castle. Use various object from the castle to take them down, then suck them dry.


Frankenstein. A friend. Will walk forward and back on one level of the castle taking down all zealots in his path.


Ghost. A friend. Will float back and forth along one level of the castle taking down all zealots in his path.


Knight Armor. When the switch that controls it is flipped, he chucks an axe across the level of the castle its on, killing any zealot it touches.


Swords. Same deal as the knight, just with a sword. Throw the switch, a sword flies.


Spider. A friend. Comes out and climbs down stairs, killing all zealots in his path.


Swing Blade. Swings like a pendulum, killing everything in it's path.


Boulder. Rolls across floors and down stairs until it reaches the end of the level, killing EVERYTHING in its path.


The Reebok Pump. A power-up item. Lets Dracula run twice as fast and jump twice as high.

Remember... There is a time limit... you have six hours to finish the game before Dracula is roasted like a turkey in the sunlight. Get Mina and get back to the castle.

Controls are fairly simple:
START pauses the game
SELECT brings up the status screen
CONTROL PAD moves Dracula
A BUTTON Uses mind control/activates objects
B BUTTON Jumps

This is actually a fairly simple level that doesn't need too much explination, so I'll just highlight the major points.

* Let the first Frankenstein take care of the first couple of zealots who come after you, and drink them dry. Remember the bodies only stay on screen for a few seconds before they vanish.

* Every five drainings let you turn into the level's Creature of the Night. During this time you can drain zealots without them being taken down by a castle trap or creature. You can also fly, so take advantage of it.

* Don't head any farther to the right through doors than you have to. You can only exit this level through the door on the bottom floor of the same color you started on. Doors to the right only get harder, so don't make it any harder than you have to.

* Despite the fact that he's wearing Reebok Pumps, and he can fly and turn into a bat and all that shit, any little fall will kill Drac. Be careful.

*Die as much as you want... as long as you have the blood for it. Remember, every time you die or use your mind control power to stop a zealot, you lose some blood. When you hear the tone (Dah dah dah DUHHH) be careful, one more death, and it's game over - and your mind control powers are gone until you suck more blood!

*Pictured Above is the Bonus Room. Any time a door is opened, for example, when the Ghost comes out in the very beginning of the game, you can press the A button in front of the open door and this screen appears. You get to pick one door. One of three things happen:

*You gain a pint of blood
*You loose a pint of blood
*You gain 100 points

Creature of the Night:


The Bat

Suck enough blood, and you become the bat, giving you the ability to fly and kill zealots without them being killed by something in the castle first.

Finishing the level means exiting to your carrage on the bottom of the same level you jumped out of your coffin in.

Get to the wrong bottom door, you may be able to open it, but you cannot exit!

If you exit the level correctly, you are treated to the cut scene below...

Intermisson

Continue onto Level 2!!
