Heya, guys! Rid Belmont here. Now, I bet you're wondering why you've never heard of me. Well, that's because The Man likes keeping folks down. See, apparently my little adventure in Dracula's Demon Castle was deemed "unfit" by that IGA fellow (By the way, ever shop at IGA? Good groceries, great price!) In fact, after I beat down good old Drac again, they gave me a list of things I'm not allowed to do anymore! Can you believe that? I save the world, and they tell me I did it all wrong! Aw, come on, at least I'm not like that Richter putz. "Dracula only comes once per century," my foot. Dude, Dracula comes back every other year. But anyway, here we go:
