Dracula II: Noroi no Fuuin English translation
ドラキュラII 呪いの封印 · Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
BlackPaladin's English translation of the Famicom Disk System version of Simon's Quest, keeping the disk release's saves, richer music and day-count ending.
Why play this version
The Disk System original differs from the cartridge release sold in the West: progress is saved instead of noted down as passwords, the music uses the Disk System's extra sound channel, and the ending tells you how many days the quest took. The trade-off is loading between areas.
What's translated
The prologue, the townspeople's hints, the clue books, the merchants and the item messages are all in English, along with the title screen. Version 1.0a fixes the text of one of the books.
