Unfortunately, everybody's home this evening.
Bats, ghosts, every kind of creature you can imagine.
You'll find 'em all over the place, if they don't find you first.
Because you've got to get through six monstrous floors before you even meet up with the Master of the House.
Your Magic Whip will help, and you'll probably find a weapons or two along the way.
But once you make it to the tower, you can count on a Duel to the Death.
The Count has waited 100 years for a rematch.
About Famicom Disk System
Japan-only, the Famicom Disk System (1986) was Nintendo's floppy-disk-based add-on for the Famicom, hosting several games (including the original Legend of Zelda and Metroid) before they were later ported to cartridge internationally. Because it never released outside Japan and its proprietary floppy disks degrade over time, complete, working Famicom Disk System software is a specialized import-collecting niche.
Gamevaro tracks Castlevania for Famicom Disk System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Castlevania to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This FDS release dates back to 1986.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Castlevania, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Famicom Disk System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
