...But then Dracula became an old fogey and refused to let his henchmen upgrade past muskets.

It seems many of the inventions Mankind comes up with always appear in Dracula's Castle first.  Including (but not limited to):

-The Escapement System (of Clock Towers)
-Water and Steam-Based Motion Devices (Windmills, Watermills, Water Towers, Modern Piping)
-Lightning/Electricity-based Animation (Mecha, Robots, and Frankie's Monster)
-Early Prototypes of Machinery and Technology (Motorcycles, Blimps, Transistor Radios, Explosives)
-Anachronistic objects (Modern Office Chairs in the past, New York Pizza in the 18th Century, Positron Rifles in a 1999-sealed Castle)
-Genetic Experimentations (Melty Zombies, Lizard-Man Combinations, Killer Baby Fetuses, Homunculi)

...and none of this actually counts as 'magic'.  The stuff that's 'magical' and 'mythical' is even weirder.

Makes you wonder why Dracula doesn't just use his powers to drop atomic bombs (or something like them) on major human cities.  I mean he truly does seem to get advanced technology before humans do.  If that was truly the case, I would think that he would have nuclear technological knowledge (or something like it) before WWII.  He could just use it to wipe out humans before they even know what hit them.  Then again, that's probably asking a lot seeing how he always seems to lose in the end.  I mean he is fighting the Belmonts for roughly 500 years and has never won.  Then again, he rarely changes his battle strategy.  It's actually kind of pathetic really.  You would think that he would change his strategy after every defeat.

He drops Atomic Bombs of Gradius-esque quality (complete with Salamander Dragons) on Reinhardt & Carrie, boy I tell you what!
**doesn't know where that 'boy I tell you what' came from**
