Majou Densetsu II: Daimashikyou Galious

Majou Densetsu II: Daimashikyou Galious (魔城伝説II 大魔司教ガリウス? lit. Evil Castle Legend II: Great Demon Bishop Galious) is a 1987 action platform game developed and published by Konami for the Famicom. It is a conversion of the second game in the Knightmare series for the MSX line of home computers. It is not an exact port, as it makes a number of changes over the original, including improved graphics and scrolling. It contains fewer dungeons, but each dungeon is considerably larger than those found in the original. In the game, the player controls not one, but two characters who may alternate at the player's will. While the two characters, Popolon and Aphrodite, are nearly identical, they each contain an ability or two that the other does not, requiring the player to swap them at appropriate points in the game. The game is played in a large castle which contains entrances to five dungeons within the castle. Each dungeon contains a boss that must be defeated.
