Hi there,
I just picked up the Tiger handheld of SotN to cover it in a Castlevania video series I'm working on, and plan to make a high quality recording of the gameplay direct on the handheld.  There is a digital scan of the manual floating around online as well.  Would love to see a digital recreation available if you're interested in making one, as it's clear how much care and effort you put into these, and this is a pretty rare one to track down.  Please let me know how to reach out and what you might need, thanks!

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. I would definitely be interested in taking a stab at simulating the Castlevania handheld.  I could use the scans of the manual and packaging from here. And if you post the video of the gameplay here I should be able to recreate the audio and game logic. Also, I would need some close up photos of the screen background (without the  graphics on) and one with all the LCD segments turned on at once (so I can recreate the graphics). 

ok great!  it may be a few weeks or so until I get to it, but I will report back here when I've got a gameplay video ready.  This is great news, thanks so much!

Awesome! Thanks.

Hi there!  I completed a full play through of this yesterday.  This zip file includes a recording of the entire stream, along with shots of the background and all LCD segments.  Please let me know if you need anything else or have any questions about anything!

Awesome! Thank you so much.  Unfortunately the zip is too large to download on my data plan. Any chance you could provide a link to it as a YouTube video? I believe you don't need to publish it to share the link. That way I can stream it.  Also, if you can share the unzipped images of the background and LCD segments . Thanks again for your contribution.

no problem!  Here are new links:

Perfect! Thanks :) 

Hi there! I've done an initial build for Castlevania SotN with the device, packaging and instructions. The build also  includes the screen artwork based on the images you provided. Just hit ACL to view the graphics on the screen. 

cool!  looks amazing already :)
