Question 11 is wrong. Even if you count Vampire Killer as the same "telling" as Castlevania NES, there is Haunted Castle, Super Castlevania IV, Akumajo Dracula X68000/Castlevania Chronicles, and Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate. And Vampire Killer is not a port of Castlevania NES - it's a completely different game. Its gameplay is very different and its level layouts are fairly different, but it concerns the same Simon vs. Dracula encounter. So in my mind, that makes question #8 problematic as well. Vampire Killer MSX wasn't a port at all. Its development actually began before Castlevania NES, although it came out after Castlevania NES.
