Description
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is the second one of three Castlevania games released on the NES. After the vampire killer Simon Belmont destroyed Count Dracula in the original
Castlevania (1987), an evil curse possessed him. The only way Simon can break the count's curse is to find five of Dracula's body parts (which are mysteriously strewn throughout Transylvania) and burn them.
Unlike most of the other Castlevania games, Simon's Quest does not feature the traditional stages but allows you to freely roam the land of Transylvania in the style of Nintendo's
Metroid. In several towns Simon can talk with NPC's and buy items in shops, adding a touch of role-playing.

Trivia
The original Japanese version of the game, named "Dracula II: Noroi no Fuuin", was not released on a cart! The game was available for the Famicom Disk System, an addon that let the Famicom play video games straight from a special floppy disk. The game had two differences in regards to the US version: First, it did not use passwords to record your progress, it saved the data to one of three save files on the disk. Second, the game has different music, because the Famicom Disk System had an extra sound channel that was not available via other means.
