Castlevania's second arcade stint included two very different flyers -- one for its 1988 debut in Japan as Akumajō Dracula using art from its NES outing (sharing the same title) and a few months earlier in 1987 as Haunted Castle in North America with enough costumed camp to sink your fangs into.
This dramatic piece shows off our hero with the looming presence of Dracula hovering above a ruined castle before them. It was used for both the Japanese and English release of Castlevania on the Famicom/NES and here, was used to promote the second arcade iteration of Castlevania. Castlevania's second arcade outing was based on the 1986 console version but entirely rebuilt and developed to run on arcade hardware and features a number of differences from its home cousin. (flyer source: https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/) The flyer reads "Haunted Castle: Re-Vamp An Old Game With This New Kit!" the "kit" being an arcade board and associated hardware that can be used to reconfigure an existing cabinet. Back in those days, it wasn't as simple as swapping a cartridge in and out of arcade cab -- re-using one usually meant pulling all of the electronic guts to replace them with new ones. Haunted Castle was based on the 1986 Castlevania title but enhanced and rebuilt entirely for arcade hardware with a number of differences (such as the incredibly brutal difficulty). Konami also engaged in the unusual habit of using live models to pose for their ads for arcade operators in the United States for a time instead of relying on art covers the way most everyone else did.   (flyer source: https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/)

Fun fact: if you search my posts for the word “Yay” you’ll find most of the games I’ve beaten since starting this account.

Well, it’s now been a year since my mom died. Feels weird. Sad, but mostly weird and lonely.
