Castlevania (PlayChoice-10) was produced by Konami in 1987. Castlevania is a side-scrolling platform action game. The player, taking the role of Simon Belmont, is able to jump and crack his whip directly in front of him. Power-ups can be obtained by defeating enemies or by whipping candles that appear in the castle. One such power-up increases the power and length of Simon's whip. Different weapons can be gathered which consume hearts when used; these hearts can also be collected from monsters and candles.

Additionally, some walls will hide secrets such as the health-restorative turkey or the Double and Triple shot abilities for the weapons Simon has collected. At the end of each section of the castle is a boss, which must be defeated. Progression through the castle eventually leads to a confrontation with Count Dracula himself. The game was originally released in 1986 on the Famicom Disk System and known as "Akumajou Dracula" in Japan.
