In Joel, the town elder gives me the Necklace of Fate, which will grant me access to the Island of Spirits where the townsfolk were turned into zombies. Inside the cave leading to the Island of Spirits, I find the Iron Necklace. Making it to the town on the island, venturing into the town's castle, I get to fight two vampires - a new one and apparently the same one from earlier. Once I realized the bats they spawn don't harm me, but rather simply push me, and that the vampires won't ever teleport to the southwest corner of the battle area, the battles became simply a matter of waiting for the vampire to teleport directly in front of me. Figuring out Sabera's ruse, It takes a few tries, but I finally defeat her and get a Broken Statue. Her defeat also cures the town. Clark, the son of the town elder of Joel, gives me some Eyeglasses to use in Joel. I thought they might reveal the invisible other than a shadow enemies in the castle.

I've never played the NES version, so I can't compare the two. It's generally considered to be much better than this version.

I played this on a Retro Freak, which can play cartridges/cards from around a dozen systems. It has the option of installing the game to a MicroSD card. I played off the MicroSD card.

Captured using an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.
