I'm made to wonder if anyone had their lives saved by this game. Maybe someone turned around to find someone trying to kill them, allowing them to dodge and fight back. All because the game warned them to turn around.
Thank you Emulation, English-translations, fast-forward functions and save states! I love you so much! :)
Because of you, older, annoying games are now bearable (and understandable) to play now!
Because of you I no longer have to record, keep track of and put in long passwords, and finally nearly impossible games are now actually fair, and surprisingly beatable! (that I couldn't ever dream of finishing in my childhood!) :D
And thank you DeceasedCrab, for just being you! :D
Probably because it was fan-translated. Don't ask me why games translated by fans have such better grammar compared to games translated by paid professionals.
My guess is that the monsters befriended Kid Dracula at the end of the game so he wouldn't kill them indiscriminately for their coins, thus extending his own life by reducing the lives of others.
Also, I'll add my name to the list of people who disapprove of a lack of checkpoints.
Hooray! Kid Dracula regained his status by...wiping out some aliens? I guess...? Well, I'm sure he'll have a nice childhood, then adulthood comes and, well, we all know what happens then.
Hey DC! Just from what I can tell, you seem to like to do Indie Game LP's (Knytt, Knytt Stories, La Mulana, Cave Story), over the more commercial games (Civilization, Goonies II, Journey to Silius), but if your taking requests: you should do Castlevania (1,2, or 3) next. It would make my heart grow two whole sizes. I don't know what size that would make it. G or something?
Other games I'd like to request: Astynaxe?, Civilization 2 (My favorite of the civ series), Romancing the Stone.
In the hilarious "Don't copy that floppy", there's a BioWare guy saying that games might have up to 30 people working on a game! 30! These days hundreds is not uncommon. For the time, I'd say Kid Dracula's credits are actually quite a large team!
In fact, even after the era of the NES, it was still possible for a handful of people to make games - Wiz n Liz was made by just two main people if memory serves.
Let me get this straight. Dracula decides to be the hero as a kid, but now as an adult, he just goes doing whatever he can to rule the world? Whats going on...
After the events of this game, Kid Dracula reviewed the resume of a guy calling himself "Shaft" and figured, "Eh, as long as he stays away from my fine witch honey, he can crash here."
They gave credit to partying in this game? Wow!!!! :b

You know, this boss has MANY similarities to GALBALAN. He flies, he fires lightning out of his hands, and he shoots fire out of his mouth.
He also has a small vulnerability time...I don't know what this could mean. Can GALBALAN travel through time?
