Part 1- let's start.....Or not.

So yeah here is the title screen to this wounderful game, Little bat there fly's all the way from the back, and flaps there for some reason.
here we have Simon balmont aka Eater of wall food. He has a whip, wear all leather, and is going to murder shit. What not to like.

And here is the first screen outside, the castle. There are statues, and candle holders, which drop.

Whip upgrades, it as the name suggests upgrades are leather whip, to metal, and then to a flashing metal whip that is longer.

Here you can see me trying to get the first secret I know of in this game, what you need to do is jump over the spot that makes you walk into the castle, and a flashing bag of money appears, which will give you 1000 free points.
And I failed to get it, and got stuck going into the castle - my 1000 free points. I am a bit rusty at this game, so please do excuse my lazyness for not wanting to get all the little thing I might mention.

That is a ghost, you whip them they die in 1 hit, also you notice that dagger thing at the top right next to th- Well that kind odd, didn't notice that little piece of graphical glitch, oh hey the game is old, bound to have little kinks.

I also can't seem to walk up stairs, I remember walking up stairs to be a major part of the game, but maybe I am forgeting something, anyway let's move on.

I uh.... Okay... Floating...dogs?...Panthers? I guess I should expect Dracula to pulls some weird ass shit out for me,
Boy my memory of this game sure is off.
And another one floating...This is centennially odd.

Don't know why Dracula taught these things how to float, and just float up there, they seems to also run away when I get close to them, not really the best way to keep a balmont out.

Nope...Still can't get up the stairs. Just keep moving.

That sure is a weird place for monsters of that type to spawn, oh well I guess I try those stairs one last time.

Nope nothing, well Next part I will restart the game, and maybe just maybe it will let me use stairs.
My guess is simon lost all leg strength from that little walk, or Dracula has some kind of human affecting gravity spell turn on.
Well next time, everyone maybe.
