    Re .0: 
    
    I did not take a detailed look at the review, but Castlevania II looks
    like the same sort of game except they let you go to different places;
    you are not forced to follow a linear path.
    
    
    				-- edp 

    Has anybody else seen or heard anything about the game?
    
    Someone told me there was a comercial for it, but I am yet to see it.
    
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Child world in Nashua had some on Monday 12/19. They also had R.B.I
    baseball too. I bought Castlevania II and it's very good. You can
    choose your path instead of being forced along like the old version.
    The graphics are excellent. 

    
         Does this game have a save or password feature?
    
    -rick

    This game have a password feature.  When your three players die
    it gives you the option of continuing or getting a password.  When
    you continue it is at the point that you died.
    
    I think this is excellent.

    The game is good, but too easy.  My son finished it in two days.
    
    Ray

    Ray,
    
    I have to agree!  I bought this game for my husband for xmas.  I
    gave it to him at 9:00 am and he finished at 1:30 pm.  It was just
    a bit to easy, but otherwise a good game.
    
    Kathy
    

    Same here.
    
    	I did like the ending, but Dracula was too easy.
    
    	The graphics and sound are good.
    
    	After finishing, I realized I never used the nail. Does anybody
    know what it's for? I know it's not needed though.
    
    		What ever happened to Haunted Castle????????????

                     CASTLEVANIA 2:SIMON'S QUEST 

  I have just purchased Simon's Quest and it is great!!!!! Simon's Quest
offerse challellenge critical thinking of Zelda and Link combined and
offers challenges of action like Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2. Castlevania
2 is quite a change from the first one,this time it is hard.In Simon's
Quest this time you use your hearts to buy things such as magic ball,
thorn  whip, laurels, and many more. Castlevania 2 is well worth the
money and is an excellent game.

    How do you get to the last castle?
    
    How do you get the flame whip?
    
    Where is the caretaker in the graveyard?
    
    
    
    
    

    
    Spoiler on how to enter Castlevania follows........
    
    Go to the right from Bodley Mansion to Vrad graveyard. You won't
    be able to go past the graveyard unless you have all of Drac's parts
    and the Cross. 
   Spoiler on flame whip follows.
    
    I believe to the left of Bodley Mansion this time there is eventually
    an area similar to Yuba lake. The same method to access the underground 
    works here.

    My name is Michael Schnare I'm 12 years old and just recieved my
    Nintendo for Christmas. So I'm really a beginer on Simons Quest.
    I use my fathers computer system he has at home to log into this
    notes conference.
    
    Does any one else out there know how to get to the last castle?
    Also where the heck is the caretaker in the graveyard?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    I've just found a second ending to Simon's Quest.
    
    Read only if you've won (oryou can't resist a temptation):
    
    	The normal ending, all gray screen, dracula's grave, words
    that tell you you've won
    and that's it, his curse is gone.
    
    	The special ending, color,dracula's grave with (are you sure you
    want to know?)
    
    	with, simon kneeling infront of it. The words tell you that you
    died because your wounds were too great. It tells you that only a
    strong young man can rid the curse from Translyvania. This ending is
    much better than the first. 
    
    	It left me with the empression of CastleVania III, and I think that
    maybe it could be Simon's Son. Who know's? It's worse than a soap
    opera!
    
    	What? You want to get this special ending? Well, don't take any
    passwords. There might have been other things, but this is the only
    major thing I did different to get the ending.
    
    
    			Just when you think it's over,
    					Pat..

    Well, after a few more hours of practice, I've found yet another
    ending. This one is much harder to come by.
    
    If you want to hear about it, it's after the form feed.
    
    Don't continue! That's how to get the third and most powerful ending. I
    made it through without continuing, and the ending was the best. I
    don't want to give it all away, but you see Dracula one last time (at
    least part of him.)
    
    			What's left? I don't think I can do it without dyin'...
    						Pat..
    

    When you get to Yuba Lake and you don't know what to do...knell
    down on the crack between the two bricks and the bottom of the lake
    will disapear and you will be in Berkley Mansion.  You will get
    Dracula's heart.
    After you get the heart, go to the man that takes you across the
    river in his boat...show him the heart and he will take you to the
    3rd mansion.

    
    I doubt if it'll help her/us today (Sunday), but we got Simon's Quest
    last week, and my wife is going nuts with it. She's found the
    first three mansion's and gotten the rib, heart and eyeball. She's
    going around like crazy trying to find the fourth. Has tried just about
    everything possible (seems to be acouple of "dead" ends that
    nothing she has tried, works). She also has gotten all of the
    weapons that are available (we think). Any slight clue from
    someone? Not really looking for an out and out spoiler.
    
    Also, would it have helped to have played Castlevania I before hand?
    Asking this because of the mention of the different towns and
    forests and lakes. There doesn't seem to be any way to tell
    what town, forest or lake we're in or next to. The documentation
    was really not very good.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Randy
    
     

    
    
     -1.  Playing the original is not necessary..... What color is the
       crystal????  You can read some of the signs in the towns, this
       helps keeping track of ones position
    
                                                                   RONM  
  

    
    We have the RED Crystal ... 
    
    We haven't been able to read any of the signs ... Any special
    place to look for the signs ??
    
    Thanks for the reply,
    Randy
    
    

    To read the sign of the town your in (and to the right and left)
                                                                    
    When you're in one of the towns, go to the bottom level...and in
    the middle of the town, you'll see a line with a piece of wood that
    sticks out.  Kneel down in front of it and press "B".

     re.-1  Spoiler follows
    
    
         I haven't played in a long time, but, you must activate the
       crystal at Deborah Cliff. Another mansion is accessed at Yuba
       Lake with the crystal also.
    
                                                                 RONM
          

    
    OK, we tried what we thought was Deborah Cliff, but evidently
    we're not at the right spot. Is Deborah Cliff at the FAR left,
    after taking the ferry (without the Heart), bouncing over the
    short string of bouncing blocks? Tried the Red Crystal (like
    we did for the mansion at Yuba lake), but seems to no avail.
    Did get the book (by selecting the Eyeball) that said something
    about Dracula's Nail.
    
    So, if this isn't Deborah Cliff, please where might it be?

    Seems we have done everything possible/imaginable that we can.
    
    Thanks,

    I think that you have to be on your knees for at least 10 seconds.
    Also you have to have your arrow on the red crystal.  Try this and
    tell us what happens!!!

    Well, my wife and Simon are at it again, I reckon we'll be ordering

    Being patient while kneeling was indeed the trick, she is now in
    the fourth mansion. This has been really tough for us, with only
    the little pamphlet that comes with the game.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO THE CASTLE WHERE DRACULA LIVES!

    
    re: .29
    
    Go to Vrad graveyard and keep going. Do you know where it is?

    Hello!!  I have a simple question:  how do you get to dracula's
    castle??

	I have been all over the place and gone to some real strange places
	but haven't found the bad guys abode.  Any help on this will be
	appreciated...

	*Debbie*
	

    To find Drac's place you will need to go to Deborah Cliffs
    and take the wind.  Then go right and find Vrad graveyard
    after you go through Vrad graveyard try some holy water.
    
    greggers

    	Does anybody know where to find the first two throwing swords?
    I have everything else and I don't really need them now but I'm
    very curious.  Is there a second level to this game or is it history
    once I kill Drac?
    
    
    				Jeff
    

    The first sword is purchased in one of the first towns you visit.
    The second sword is won win you kill the face that shots fireballs
    fro it's eye.  It's in one of the mansions, I don't remember which
    one.
    
    Sorry, the game if finished once you kill Dracula.  The are different
    endings that it shows you after he's dead, but the game is the same.
    
    Ron

    	I don't remember seeing anyone with a sword for sale.  Was it
    in  one of the rooms that doesn't seem to have anything to offer?
    I found several rooms which were empty but didn't reveal any
    secret passages when I threw my holy water.  If there something
    in these rooms that I am over looking?  If so a mild hint would
    be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, I don't have my maps, and I don't recall the name of the
    place, but:
    
    Do you remember any two-tiered rooms where there are lots of bats and
    those floating eye things?
    
    There's a stairway down, and then a dead-end path off to the left.
    
    Bring your holy water.

    Someone in the town of Aljiba says something like:
    
    If you want to restore your life, just shout in front of the church.
    
    Well, how do I SHOUT?
    
    	Stapes

 Tut!Tut! Fooled by the town person! When you get to the church, you enter it
 through the door, climb the stairs, and talk to the woman. She will refill
 your life. You don't have to SHOUT in front of it. The person was just lying
 to you. Remember, townspeople don't always say the truth!

  RE:.14

  I don't understand it, Pat. I defeated Dracula without continuing, but the
  same ending which appears when you don't use passwords appeared when the
  ending appeared. The color sceen, Simon kneeling, but no Dracula. It could
  have been a bug or something. Or probaly you can't lose lives. I lost 1, so
  it could have been that. But I can't be sure about that because I don't  
  know if you lost any. So please answer me if you lost any lives or not.
  It would really make me understand better.

    I haven't found any mansions yet but have been in several towns and get
    clues like "clues are in the town of alba" but I don't know which town
    I'm in to start with.

    When you come to a new town you will see a sign coming out of the
    wall directly toward the screen (it looks like a veritcal line).
    It is usually immediatly after entering the town and jump over the
    gap.  Kneel down and hit the A button to read.
    
    /jeff
    

    The only sign I see, when read tells me to go left for one area or
    right for another. This sign gets read when you push the "b" button
    whether you are kneeling or standing. I've knelt (and pushed both the
    "a" and "b" button) on nearly every block at both ends of the town,
    facing in both directions, still no "town name". Any more suggestions?
    
    could my game be defecitve?

    hello my name is Averil.  I am 8 and am using my father's terminal to
    reply. I have rented Castlevania II. It was OK, but Castlevania I is
    better to me.  II does not have as much adventure, and when you get
    to another castle it mixes you up.

       I need a pointer. I'm stuck if I go all the way to the left I hit a
    wall and if I go to the right I end up at a lake. Where do I go or what
    do I need? I have garlic,chain whip,bone,red crystle,larui (sp) dagger
    holy water and flame.

    When you get all the way to the left bring down the select screen and
    set the pointer to the red crystle, then face the wall, kneel down and
    wait, you'll be surprised what will happen.
    
    The same when you get to the lake. Face the lake at the edge (shore)
    and kneel down and wait. 
    
    both take approx 10-20 seconds.

    Could anyone please help me on the following ?  I've been to Camilla
    cemetery (Where I was given the silver dagger) and proceeded to the
    right.  There's water and a high wall on the other side.  Somehow i've
    managed to make the jump (twice) and have been in two mansions on the 
    other side.  I've been back there countless times and cannot make the
    jump.  I've thought that since I've been there that the game is not
    allowing me to return. So I tried my sons game and he has everything I
    did pior to making the first jump and I STILL can't do it.
    
    What I did do to make this jump ?
    
    Thanks, Jim.

    Not yet at the point of suicide, but close, I decided to read through
    this file and get some help. It is with an air of self-righteous
    indignation that I have to question the methods of those of you
    who entered earlier comments in this topic which suggest that you
    finished the game in 4 hours. I can't understand, dispite the fact
    that some of you might be exceptionally bright, how anyone would
    (Put behind <FF> as potential spoiler)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    think to kneel before a lake for 10 seconds or more!!! I was personally
    thrilled to have discovered that one could make bricks disappear
    by throwing holy water and make things magically appear by dropping
    garlic. 
    
    Alas, I need more help. I have managed to collect up to the red
    crystal, have the silk purse, silver dagger, morning star, water,
    and flame, but still can not find any of Dracula's pieces. I have
    been all through the one and only mansion to be obviously found
    and have not discovered any body parts. I did get a hidden clue
    there and found a wall one could jump through which leads to a ledge
    that I can not return from. I  am also perplexed on experience levels.
    I have gotten up to level 5 but often find that I no longer collect
    experience points. Why is that? 
    
    Tonight I will go home to pray by the lake and the cliff for a long
    time and research the mansion for body parts. Any other help from
    you wonders who can do what takes me weeks in a few hours would
    be considered a kindness to a lower life form.

    No one has yet replied and my problems are fewer but still exist.
    I really could use some hints on the following:

    I found the cross but can not find the nail. That is the last body
    part to go. I have everything else, I think. What is it that the
    figure in the mansion is trying to give me when he says " come back
    with a powerful weapon and I will give you magic"? Is that the guy
    who gave me the fire for my morning star?
    

    No, the character who says 'come back with a strong weapon' does not
    seem go serve any other purpose. I completed the game without anything
    from him(her?). The nail is in one of the mansions - I don't remember
    which one, but I think it was one of the first ones I found. It is not
    in the one with the above character - sorry I don't remember more.
    

    I received the flame whip from the character who told me to come back
    with a strong weapon. he wants you to have the morning star.

    Help requested...
    
    I've been to the first three mansions (bone, heart and eye).
    
    I think I've got all of the items except for the cross... and
    the red crystal.  I think I'm stuck until I can get the red 
    crystal.  Any hints?

    That location is quite a humbling experience.  Get on your knees and
    stay there for a while.  You'll like the result - if you have the
    correct magic item...

    RED CRYSTAL?????   I can't seem to go any further with it!!
    
    Frustrated

    Can somebody  help me with Dracula's mansion.I have all of his body
    parts and the cross,but can't find his mansion.Can anybody help me?
    

    spoiler:
    
    
    
    When you get all the way to the left and are at the cliff, select the
    crystal and kneal. After the "tornado" takes you away go all the way to
    the right and try some holy water.
    
    hope this helps.

    
    I have all the body parts except for the eyeball! I've been up one
    side and down the other and can't find it.  Any hints are welcomed,

    This is the first RPG that I've played.  I'm kind of confused.  I've
    read through this file twice but can't find what I'm looking for
    without reading the spoilers.  I'm looking for a couple of hints, not
    spoilers.  The directions are not much help.
    
    First of all, is there a way to save your game when you haven't lost
    all of your players?  I had over 300 hearts and my energy was high, but
    I ran out of time to play before I had found any new weapons or magic
    items to purchase.  I just had to let myself get killed off and save my
    place.  
    
    Second,  I found the signs in the town on the lower level and read it.
    All they tell me is the name of the woods/town, to the right and left
    of me, not the name of the town that I am in at that time.  Is there a
    way to find out what town you are in at the present time?  Also, are
    there signs in the woods etc. pointed to the town that you will be in
    when you exit?
    
    Third, I really have no idea how to find weapons and magic items.  I
    know certain villagers will offer to sell you weapons when you speak
    to them, but I'm sure there has to be other ways.  In the second town
    I entered, I couldn't find anything.   I don't want a spoiler but I
    guess I need to know If I have to jump everywhere like in SMB, Kneel
    everywhere?  Crash every wall/floor with the holy water?  Do you have
    to take a chance and try to talk to some baddies?
    
    This game seems great but for someone brand new to RPG's, the
    directions don't really help much.
    
    Thanks!
    
    Pam

    re: .134
    
    Easy answers:
    
    1. The only way to save is what you are doing.
    
    2. You're stuck with remembering what the last town sign said
       you were going to.
    
    3. You pretty much answered yourself on the last question, try it
       all
    
    Good luck Pam,

    Thanks Grizz
    
    Hmmm, this is going to take some time.   And this is the game that
    a lot of people say is way too easy?  
    
    Pam

    I too have all the body parts except the eyeball. Was I supposed
    to get this ealier in the game, like before I got the red crystal
    or something to that effect, and now the ferryman is taking me to
    the wrong place?
       Also I can't find the diamond. Some dude told me to dig up the
    fourth grave. I tried this but how does one go about digging up
    a grave? It seems I tried everything. He must be lying. Anybody
    know where the diamond might be stashed? Any suble hints would be
    gratefully appreciated.

    I have all of the weapons exept for the gold knife and all magical
    items except for the cross and diamond.
    
    I still have not been able to read what town I am in.  I select the
    red crystal and kneel while pressing the B button.  Still can only
    read the names of the woods, marshes, graveyards to the right and
    left of the town I am in.  Have yet to see a town name.  Is there a
    way?
    
    Also, is there a sign giving the name of the mansion that you are in?
    I found the ring and the nail so far.  I tried kneeling by different 
    bricks inside and outside of the mansion.
    
    This game is super!

      re .77
      
      Pam,
    
          If you tell me where you picked up  Drac's eyeball I'll clue you
    in to where I fond the cross. Spoiler follows...
    
    
    
       I found the cross in one of the mansions, I believe it was the
    one with the ring. Do you remember a big floating face circling above
    you dropping tears that weakened you in a room just before you found
    one of Drac's parts? Destroy this and the cross is yours.
                                            
                                             Dave.

    This game is really cool.  I get into a mansion and search and search
    and think to myself that there is no bodypart in the mansion.  It seems
    that I have searched the whole thing, and just when I am about to
    give up, I find it.
    
    Hi Dave
    
    I just found Dracula's eyeball last night along with the rest of his
    bodyparts.  Also found the diamond.   
    
    About the cross and eyeball ....
    
    
    
    Ahh, so that's where the cross is.  Tonight I was just going to search
    for the cross and Dracula's mansion.   I took a couple of shots at that
    face but it didn't seem to phase it.   One of the clues made me believe
    that you couldn't kill it.  It said something like "Do not look into
    the one eyed face", or something like that.  Now to find the mansion it
    was in.  I'll check the one where I found the ring first.  I think I
    wrote down the location where I found that clue about the face too.
    It may be in that one.  
    
    I'll log in tonight from home to tell you how to get to the mansion
    with the eyeball.  I have to look at my map.   
    
    Thanks for the tip.
    
    Pam

    Dracula's DEAD!!!!   Good ending.
    
    Dave, I think I made a mistake with the location of the eyeball.
    
    <Spoiler>
    
    
    
    
    You're still going to go left, across the pink marsh.  I think, when
    you get to the guy on the ferry boat, put your arrow on the heart and
    he should take you to the mansion with the eyeball or to the path
    that leads to it.

    Castlevania III is comming out this fall.   Trevor, a decendant

    Can someone tell how to get to the next 4 mansions, after

    When you get to a point you will see blocks moving. Jump when they go
    up, then go straight. Then you will see a woman, jump up, kill the enemies
    then press (B) BUTTON then she will say "I'll give you a diamond" then
    she will disappear. Then use the RED CRYSTAL THEN a tornado will come and
    get you.  AND THE REST IS UP TO YOU TO KILL DRACULA. HA HA HA!
