Castlevania 2 Simons Quest Retranslated + Map
This is an English re-Translation of Castlevania II: Simons Quest. In additon to translating the ROM, an in-game map is added, and the Japanese staff credits were re-added to the game.
NOTE: Save screen is buggy. Cursor doesn't show up sometimes. It is what it is. Save feature still functions though.
The translation is based on the original Japanese text. According to the author, extensive research was performed on the meaning of the sometimes cryptic original Japanese text in the game, and special attention was paid to make sure that all the translated text makes sense and is understandable, without undermining the loyalty in translation to the original Japanese game.
Features include:
- Added dialog in select locations - Small changes that will improve the game experience without changing the nature of the game.
- Reintroduced some features that the English releases removed from the Japanese version - Includes the extended ending text, as well as Konami-style Start text on the power-on screen.
- Map function - An in-game map is included. It helps understand the layout of the game world, and to know the name of whichever place the player currently is in. It compensates for the lack of actual game manual, which in the Japanese releases included a map. Press the select button to view the map in the game.
- SRAM save function - Game can be saved at any time into internal battery-backed memory and loaded later.
- Advanced password encryption - Passwords that are encrypted with extended functionality, can be decoded by the original (unhacked) versions of the game. The function expands the repertoire of passwords.
- Language - English.

Perfect Version of an Underrated Gem!
Castlevania 2 is one of those games people either love or hate. I personally love it! It was very much a head of its time with the whole night and day scheldule and it borrowed elements from the RPG genre This was a unique game and a suprise sequel to Castlevania 1. However, in the pre-internet days it was very easy for a fan to get stuck on this game. This version has a better translation which helps. Also, this special version allows you to save with the battery feature or the password. It's wonderful to be able to save the game at anytime and start right where you left off! It also keeps in inventory all of the clues that you find. It makes the adventure more satisfying knowing that you have collected all of the clues Other small changes include: being able to keep all of your whips, a map feature, and a credits screen that was omitted from the USA version. In closing, I try to make it a tradition to play Castlevania 2 every Fall to get in the spirit of Halloween, and now, I have the best version of it yet!
