Dracula in the MSX version of "Castlevania"

[Dwedit]

Cinemassacre really went over the many weaknesses of vampires.
Because vampires are actually The Count, and must count grains of rice scattered on the ground.

How comes so many NES games were ported to MSX ?

I guess games were ported to C64, MSX, etc. because even ColecoVision/SG-1000 style 1bpp sprites were better sprites than other home computers available in Japan and other MSX markets had at the time. Not everybody who could afford an 8-bit home computer could also afford a separate game console, and some MSX markets had much higher import duties for dedicated game consoles than for home computers.
