Action-Adventure: 2nd June update of "Castlevania AGA"
Dante Mendes has released another June update (amiga-news.de reported) for his conversion of Konami's NES action adventure Castlevania, originally called "Akumajou Dracula", which fixes some problems:

a problem with screen transitions after a continue in world 3
the "hang on screen bottom edge instead of falling" glitch that happened sometimes
a problem with Dracula going offscreen at the final battle

As the author writes, the feedback so far has been very positive. However, Castlevania is still a little too easy. He will continue to work on it. (dr)
