Overview
Description

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse returns players to the haunted halls of Transylvania, where they must battle monsters and solve puzzles to defeat Dracula. The game introduces multiple playable characters, each with unique abilities, and a branching level system that adds replay value. Originally released for the NES in 1990, the title has been re-released on modern platforms, preserving its retro pixel art and challenging gameplay while offering quality-of-life updates for contemporary audiences.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 1988 side‑scrolling action game for the NES that lets players switch between the timid Dr. Jekyll and the ferocious Mr. Hyde based on anger levels. As Jekyll, you avoid obstacles on the way to your wedding; as Hyde, you battle monsters in a nightmarish realm to calm your rage and return to humanity.
