While many people may not think Castlevania The Adventure is the best entry in the series, for a 1989 DMG Game Boy release, I'd say it's a pretty damn good game, with some really innovative and creative level design! This time we're taking a look at how the programmers at Konami utilized the Game Boy's Window Layer in order to create the moving Spike traps in the 3rd stage of Adventure.
