SNES - The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang Box Art FrontSNES - The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang Box Art Back

The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang is an action-rpg starring the titular hero, a young vampire prince who must rescue his parents and save the inhabitants of the Vladamasco Islands from the evil Von Hesler. But is it really his handiwork, or is there someone else controlling him? Unravel the mystery while traveling to various locales, fighting Von Hesler's henchmen and picking up (CPU-controlled) companions along the way. Spike McFang has three main methods of attack: by striking out with his cape, throwing his hat like a boomerang, or using a magic card. Cards can also heal his health or give his companions extra strength. Spike can also devour the still-beating hearts of his vanquished foes (or the dropped tomatoes of his vanquished foes if you're playing the sanitized North American version) to regain health. There are a total of four different hats that Spike can purchase as upgrades in his battle against animated garlic bulbs, bomb-throwing cats, head-spinning plants and a plethora of other dangerous enemies.

Additional Information

For centuries, order was maintained throughout the three Vladamasco islands by rulers Dracuman, Vampra and General Von Hesler. Yet Von Hesler grew weary of sharing his rule and wanted control of all the islands. So one night without warning, he gathered his zombie horde and black magic for an assault on the kingdoms. Camilia, Vampra's daughter, managed to escape during one of the battles and sought out Dracuman's only son: Spike McFang. Not only could she use some help in saving her mother, but Spike needed to be told about his father.

Assume control of the young vampire as he sets out to put an end to Von Hesler's tyranny. Spike McFang wears a purple hat and cape, both of which can be used to fight various enemies populating the worlds. Spike can either throw his hat or spin his cape to cause damage, and as he gains levels, his attacks become more powerful.

While the game emphasizes action like The Legend of Zelda, there are also traditional role-playing elements such as talking to characters, purchasing upgrades with gold and gaining experience points. Camilia and Von Hesler's son, Rudy, will even periodically assist in your quest by tagging along. They are not the only means of help, however. Spike can find or purchase various magic cards that will give him special powers (such as flying or turning enemies into harmless animals). Up to three games can be stored via battery backup.
