this will only be interesting to the most hardkore of cv nerds. like me. :( as it has some very very early official artwork, many of such pictures seem to be the source from which the in-game sprites were derived. :o um. also. near the end there's a page entitled 'manual for school'. if anyone can tell me WTF O..O that is about i would be very much greatful unto yew. :o in fact. i'll just post it too. as a url because it's hugeness would surely inflict crazy havoc on the boards poor tables. :(

That artwork kicks ass. You're right, too, it looks like the sprites came right from some of those pics, too. That little disk kicks ass. I think the school thing means "schooling" dracula. I think. I dunno. :(

Very cool, I especially liked the art on 04.jpg and 05.jpg (the storytelling portion).
