Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original. Original inserts or paperwork shown in the photos are included; display stands and other photography props are not. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Kyle has no sword, no whip and no crossbow, only his fists, his boots and a reason to keep climbing. His beloved Erin has been taken by the vampire Nosferatu, and SETA's 1994 Super Nintendo action-platformer sends him through six Transylvanian castles to get her back, punching through goblins, mummies, floating eyes and Frankenstein-style monsters on the way to each castle's master.

The combat is close-quarters and physical. Kyle strings together a multi-hit punch combo, a pair of jump kicks and an elbow tackle, and crystals collected along the way expand his combo, though every knockdown costs him one. The castles are as dangerous as anything living inside them, with timed floor tiles, movable walls, alternate paths and a timer on every stage, a design that owes a clear debt to Prince of Persia. The bosses are a horror-movie lineup, including a hunchback who transforms into a werewolf, a rock golem, a living fog cloud and finally the vampire lord in giant bat form.

Nosferatu had a long road to release, with previews running as early as 1991, and its detailed, fluid animation shows the care that went into it, even if the brown-and-gray palette keeps the mood gloomy. It is a tough game, with monsters and traps that punish carelessness, and the North American version offers unlimited continues with a catch: lean on them too heavily and you will see the bad ending instead of the good one.

It is better remembered as a solid horror platformer than a revolution, and that is part of its cult appeal now. This is a moody, methodical climb through haunted castles on a console with surprisingly few games like it, and a distinctive pick for players who loved Prince of Persia's deliberate movement but wanted monsters to punch.
