No. 429
Alright, first shot using Kega, mainly because there's no suitable Genesis flash cartridge. US version.
Some notes:
- I see that the old film motif comes into play in the intro. When did they finally stop doing this (if at all)?
- Eric Leandre vs. Chuck--er, John Morris. Even though their weapons seem to have negligible differences, I feel like the classic whip just handles better than Eric's spear. The only downsize is that you can't do the whip trick where you leave it extended and then move it around from side to side without drawing it back out again.
- It seems rather gorier than I remember when playing it last. Toto, I don't think we're in a Nintendo console any more.
- Boss 1-5 is rather easy: Just wail at him with your preferred weapon of choice. Better yet, maintain some distance and keep slinging boomerangs at him. I found Boss 1-11 even easier: If you duck behind the lower left block and keep hitting the boss on the other side, you'll have him defeated in no time.
- SEKRITS: In 1-3, on the right side of the staircase leading into 1-4, hit the pillar to reveal a book (which gives you a hefty amount of crystal power). In 1-6, to the right of the top row, hit the wall to reveal a vampire hunter's favorite food: meat! More meat can be found in 1-8 at the far right of the top row.
- Level 2-2 is pretty unforgiving, almost to the fact where you shouldn't bother with any enemies at all (none the least, the annoying spearmen who block the staircases). Even if they don't stop you by slowing you down, they have the potential to poke you over the edge to cause instant death.
