Simon on Super NES
Simon returns in a Super NES retelling of his battle with Dracula. Multi-directional whipping changes combat and platforming.
The flexible, multi-directional whip distinguishes Super IV from the NES game. It is a new rendition of Simon's encounter with Dracula, not an event that must be placed after Simon's Quest merely because IV is in the title.
