-alternate Daybreak music

(what the hell is wrong with Firefox's spell check?  It's telling me to change 'Okay' to 'Tokay' ???)

Return of the Living Thread!!

Figured I'd post some differences between the Castlevania and Akumajou Dracula games...
First off, "Belmont" is "Belmondo" on all Akumajou Dracula games
   

Akumajou Dracula (FDS)
- The name-entry option that allows you to save your game into the disks memory.
- Simon can collect morning-star symbols much earlier than normal, where he usually has to attain five hearts beforehand.
- The game is easier due to the save feature, and more frequent whip power ups.
   
Akumajou Dracula (Fami)
- You can select a "normal" or "easy" difficulty level
- An added  Konami logo before the title screen.

Dracula 2: Noroi no Fuiin (FDS)
- The name-entry option that allows you to save your game into the disks memory.
- The loading times that are present when you enter into towns and mansions.
- The music is more digital, faster and toned higher.
- Camilla Cemetery is instead called "Carmilla Cemetery".
- The game's enemy rate is slightly higher.
- The glass-shattering noise when you use holy water is absent.
- The sound that's made when Simon falls into water is different.
- The sound that plays when you discover a secret only plays when you talk to hidden souls and not after.
- There are beefed up sounds for the Ferryman's actions and the Deborah Cliff tornado ride.
- You can keep purchasing garlic and laurels even after your stock is full.
- The mansion music also plays when you're outside of the mansion entrances.
- The game is slightly harder.

Akumajou Densetsu  (Fami)
- The main characters name is "Ralph Belmondo", and not Trever Belmont.
- The sprites for the Zombie's, Mad frogs, Mummy Men, and the boss named Leviathan all have different sprites.
- Mud Men are slightly more animated.
- Hunchbacks are reffered to as Gremlins (from Super Castlevania IV)
- Grant uses throwing daggers as his main weapon instead of using a stabbing dagger, and can only collect the axe and stopwatch
sub-weapons.
- The music is far superior because of the Konami VRC6 that was installed in the cartridge.
- Timing differences in some of the enemies' patterns and attacks.
- Different item placement for candleabras and breakable bricks.
- There are alot of color differences for most stages and some enemies (like the green Phantom Bat).
- Water dragons breathe flames downward, as well as upward, and hold the attack longer no matter the direction of the flames.
- Boss mummies throw shards both high and low instead of in wavy patterns.
- There are no Skull Heads, Armed Knights or Robed Zombies in this version.
- If you are killed while fighting Dracula, you begin outside the keep stairway instead of near the pendulums.
- Nude statues and religious themes are not censored.
- The cross in the intro has rays that beam from it.
- The text is a normal font rather than a gothic font used in the US version.
- The second quest and the starting ally passwords do not work.
- The sound made when switching allies is different.
- The game is slightly easier.

Also Bionic Commando / Hitler no Fukkatsu: Top Secret definetly have alot of differences.

Am I right to believe that Bubble Bobble NES and FDS have at least one difference? You know when you spell EXTEND, you're taken to that celebratory screen. That screens' backgrounds are different, right? I forget what that difference is. I played the FDS version a few weeks ago. :P

What's the differences between Star Force on the Famicom & the NES

Operation Wolf (from what I've seen): stages are selectable (cool! :o) except for the last two stages; there's also this bikini girl in the game:

It says the last two stages aren't in there at all; that's kind of hard to believe.  Maybe they appear after finishing the others.  I wonder if the person tried playing all the way through?
