Game Boy Players League - October 2018



Hello and welcome to another thrilling month in the Game Boy Players League!

It’s October so let’s grab our crucifixes and bottles of holy water and take on our next challenge and for this month we’ll be battling the undead in Castlevania: The Adventure.

In this horrifically tricky Konami classic you’ll need to take the role of infamous vampire killer Christopher Belmont as he sets off to put an end to Dracula’s reign of terror. 

The game’s four stages are teeming with undead horrors, and devilish traps that are hell bent on protecting the Prince of Darkness. Armed only with a whip you’ll have to face your fears head on to have any hope of reaching Dracula, so good luck!

Players will receive 1 point for playing the game with an additional 2 points on offer for anyone who manages to finish the game.

Bonus Points
1 point will be awarded to first player to complete the game.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our September, Operation C/Probotector challenge! Despite a good effort from myself, An Vermieren and Jay Loco the game went unbeaten. An posted the highest score of the month (113200) and so picks up the relevant bonus point.
