once again, don't ask about that "whipped" thing.... Richter Belmont is part of free hidden object computer games the Belmont clan, the Legendary clan of Vampire Hunters. He carries a "legendary vampire-hunting whip" that looks strangely like a leather string with a fancy handle... Richter defeats Dracula in bloodlines and is posessed by the demon-priest Shaft (he's one bad mother- shut your mouth! I was only talkin' 'bout Shaft!) and becomes "Lord" of Dracula's Castle. If you play your cards right, Maria ("ai ai ai!!!") helps you save Richter...again. whoopie.... Of course, if you don't save Richter, you get the zetaclear complaints crappy ending for SOTN and you don't get to see the spiffy "Reverse Castle" and defeat Dracula. I say, get the nifty stuff and find Maria- then shag her rotten just because you can! Gwahahahahahaha!!!!!!! (okay, so you can't shag her in the game. Don't try....)
