Vampire Killer (known as Akumajō Dracula (悪魔城ドラキュラ in Japan) is the second game in the Castlevania series and the only title released for the MSX2 home computer. It was released in Japan on October 10, 1986, roughly one month after Castlevania appeared on the Famicom Disk System. It has some key gameplay differences from the Famicom/NES version, emphasizing exploration and puzzle elements rather than straightforward action.

Run notes:

This run wasn't bad, given part of my attention was on talking the entire time. Took an addition two minutes over the run in my previous video, though that might've also been due to me trying to get the Hourglass through a different method in Level 6.

I did forget to mention a couple things in my commentary, like the vertical screen loop at the end of 3-2, but none of what I missed was terribly important.

Had one of my worst Death fights (that I've won) in this playthrough, however, I managed to one-cycle Dracula's first phase and get a near-perfect Drac fight overall, so the tradeoff is welcome.

Enjoy! 💜
