Demon Castle Dracula}}[4]}} is a side-scrolling platform game released by Konami for the arcades in {{vgy|1988}}. The game serves as an adaptation of the original Castlevania (hence the Japanese title), but was not marketed as part of the series outside Japan. Unlike Vs. Castlevania (an earlier Vs. System version released exclusively in North America in {{vgy|1987}}), it is not a direct port of the NES version, but rather it is a completely different game running on custom JAMMA-based hardware. The game has the player controlling Simon Belmont, who embarks on a journey to save his new wife Serena from the clutches of Count Dracula. Simon must trek through six stages in order to reach the Count's lair. GameplayHaunted Castle is a typical platform game with six stages, which are played through in a linear progression. The player controls the main character, whose primary mode of attack is via his whip. He must fight various enemies which consist partially of skeletons, zombies, fishmen, and hunchbacks. By destroying certain enemies, he can switch his weapon to a more powerful spiked flail or sword. In addition, various "sub-weapons" can be obtained which provide different means of attack which consist of bombs (this game's holy water), boomerangs, stopwatches, crosses, and torches. Hearts are collected to use each of these "sub-weapons." The player can only carry one sub-weapon at a time. Each of Haunted Castles six levels conclude with a boss fight. Like in other games of the series, these bosses are generally taken from horror literature or legend, and include Medusa, Frankenstein's monster, and, being a series staple, Dracula. DevelopmentAudioThe soundtrack was composed in part by Kenichi Matsubara, who previously did the soundtrack to Simon's Quest. There are a several notable music tracks in Haunted Castle that have been reused in other Castlevania games. The well-recognized "Bloody Tears" (first heard in the previously released Castlevania II) is used in this game as the theme for Stage 3. Another arcade piece, the Stage 1 theme "Cross Your Heart", was recently reused in Portrait of Ruin under the title "Crucifix Held Close" and as an unlockable song in The Dracula X Chronicles. It is also part of the "Akumajo Dracula Medley" that appears in Konami's Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 (originally appearing in the Japanese arcade and PlayStation 2 music game series Keyboardmania), along with "Bloody Tears". "Clockwork's Beat", which plays during Stage 5, was remixed in Dawn of Sorrow under the name "Underground Melodies" (actually the name of Haunted Castle's Stage 4 theme). Finally, "Don't Wait Until Night", played during Stage 6, which borrows hints of "The Silence of Daylight" (the town music from Castlevania II),{{Citation needed|date=November 2007}}, was remixed in Aria of Sorrow for Julius' theme "Heart of Fire", though this particular song is actually a medley of the Haunted Castle tune and "Heart of Fire" from Stage 5 of the original Castlevania. Versions and re-releasesA PlayStation 2 port of Haunted Castle was released by game publisher Hamster in May 2006 as part of the Oretachi Gēsen Zoku series. This port was only released in Japan.[5] In September 2017, Hamster released the game for the PlayStation 4 as part of their Arcade Archives line of digital releases. This version includes the option to play the Japanese, North American and European versions of the game.[6] On April 18, 2019, the game is set to be released as part of the Konami Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection.
