Alucard was in "castlevania 3" (NES)
except back then he looked more like someone in a mafia movie than the unholy child of the prince of darkness.
and the prequel, "kid dracula", for the gameboy, i didn't really know that was alucard until i read something about it in EGM, but before that, i became hopelessly addicted to that game, thinking it was really fun, but also hard, because you had to learn new magic on every new level, and charge up a fireball before you can use something like "BAT", "FLOAT", "WOC"(walk on celings) "UMB" (umbrella. silly, if you really think about it.)
