Inky Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I downloaded this rom, and I can't figure it out for he life of me. How the heck do you play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 In the first stage you have to chase the ghost around to gain crosses by running through him. Careful though, 'cos if you do this too much you'll die. You can get around 24 crosses before this happens, if you're careful. The second stage has you in front of the castle, where you'll have to pick off the various creatures roaming round the castle walls. The bats are hardest to see, since they're virtually the same colour as the inky night sky they fly in at the top. Don't bother trying to kill the axe-weilding mummies; you can't. Just duck under them as required. The third stage will have you roaming round inside the castle. Here you have to search the coffins for things. You do this by getting to one side of them and placing your hand on its edge. This can be a bit tricky, but if you find anything you'll be rewarded with an object and a sound. Watch out for the 'wall' that sweeps back and forth; it'll kill you if it touches you. There are 2 floors in this stage. The last stage is where you have to kill Dracula himself. It's been a long time so I can't quite remember how this is done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 You have to keep pushing the button when he gets close to you to repel him (with the crosses you collected). Keep doing this until you force him into one of the two prisions at the top of the screen. Then you win. This is hard to get the hang of. It took me a few times to win.

Mountain King Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Easiest way is to position yourself dirctly below him and press the button. It will repel him straight up. Move till you are in line with one of the prisons and repel him straight up into it. The funny thing is that when you trap Dracula you will release your girlfriend or boyfriend and if you still have any crosses left you can repel them too. Its fun making them fly up off the screen.

Joel D. Park Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I had no idea the game was so complex, I could never figure out how to get through the first stage, I always avoided the ghost. I've also got a better graphics version of this game on the Commodore 64, I'll have to try out. I guess I should read the manual some time It sounds cool. Later, Joel D.
