About This Game
Developed exclusively for Sega's 8-bit console, this game features six distinct zones including Asylum, Tower Bridge, and Dracula's Castle with branching paths.
Notable for its weapon collection system - players can find knives, sabers, pistols and even a flamethrower hidden throughout levels.
The European version was rebranded as 'Vampire: Master of Darkness' with altered enemy designs to avoid copyright issues with Konami's Castlevania.
