(Akumajou Dracula)

Akumajou Dracula is an action game by Konami. The evil Dracula has returned from the dead and he intends to wreak his revenge upon all Transylvania. Once again Simon, a warrior from the Belmont family, and his vampire killer leather whip have been chosen to defeat the beast and his army of minions. The whip's mobility in this episode has been drastically enhanced - it can move in any direction and swings at will around our vampire slayer. This feature can be used to damage hard-to-reach enemies but also to pick up bonuses. Simon can whip candles scattered around the game to free special bonuses - some of them upgrade his whip (from weak leather to strong iron chains) whereas others grant him a secondary weapon (Axes, Cross, Daggers, Holy Water etc...). These weapons only come in limited quantities though and power hearts must be collected to make them last longer. Pieces of meat can also be found (usually hidden inside walls) to help Simon to get back in shape before the final blow is delivered.
