Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is an action adventure platformer by Konami released on the Famicom Disk System in 1987 and later ported to the NES in 1988. It is the second game in the Castlevania series and changes format slightly to be more of an adventure game, making it the first Castlevania title to be a Metroidvania.

Box Art
The original Japanese FDS box art. The painting is fantastic and sets the mood for the game.
The North American and European art uses the same painting, but is partially obscured with the Konami gray frame. I love the Gothic Castlevania logo.
The Japanese re-release in cartridge form uses the full painting, which looks the best.
