Haunted Castle was produced by Konami in 1988. Dracula stole our hero's wife the day of the ceremony and so you must rescue her. Armed with your whip, fight classic horror monsters in in this horizontal action game. A man armed with a whip ventures through Transylvania to rescue his new bride from the clutches of evil Count Dracula. The levels scroll in all directions and storybook and mythical monsters attack the player along the way. Mini-bosses and bosses provide major encumbrances.

A vampire hunter supposedly Simon Belmont of the Belmont clan is about to get married. Unfortunately, Count Dracula has kidnapped Simon's bride and now she is being forced to marry Dracula instead. Simon must reach Dracula's castle to rescue his bride before the unholy wedding begins. Like Konami's Castlevania series, the player controls a character -- presumably Simon Belmont -- who moves through the various stages and fights characters from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century monster stories. The most difficult title Konami ever designed in the Castlevania series. The game continues are limited and the stages require extreme mastery in order to progress.

Haunted Castle is part of the "Castlevania" games series. However, as many games of this series, it is not part of the main storyline. The main character doesn't have any name, but it is believed to be Simon Belmont of the original "Castlevania".
