TAS originally published on 2017-04-02
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (originally known as 悪魔城伝説 or
Akumajō Densetsu, meaning "Legend of the Demon Castle") is the
story of Trevor Belmont's battle against Dracula from the times before
Simon's battle in Castlevania. In this complex and difficult game,
there are three playable allies whom Trevor can recruit: Alucard
(Dracula's son), Grant DaNasty (a pirate captain), and Sypha Belnades
(a mystic warlord).
This game has a technically high-quality soundtrack because it uses a
VRC6 sound chip that works in the Japanese Famicom but not in the NES.
Thus, the movie was made with the Japanese version of the game instead
of the USA version.
This movie takes the path that recruits Sypha. There's also a
Grant path ( tasvideos.org/1979M ) movie and an Alucard path ( tasvideos.org/3357M ) movie.
This is an improvement of 1:18.69 over the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/763M ), thanks to improved usage of Sypha's ice spell and overall better optimisation.

@stevefitz2522 2 жыл бұрын

@@ivanr4300 totally, it's not all full of buzz channels, love the vrc6 chip, the American reworked soundtrack has better compositions that even though there's two channels missing, comes across as more musical to me. In fact I've made myself a CD of the American soundtrack to take on car rides, off of original hardware and it's awesome to listen to. If you have the game or ROM loaded and want to listen just to the soundtrack press the a&b buttons while pressing start at the title screen and the game goes into sound track mode, works on both the am and Japanese version.

This game is mediocre but the VRC6 music and background art are outstanding. Yes it's not scary at all but it's enjoyable. No parallax scrolling is a shame though.
