History VideoGame / VirtualHydlide

* HauntedHouse: After Jim gets the cross in the cemetary, the next stop is the Vampire Mansion, an abandoned manor save for bats and its lord (and boss), the Vampire.

* KnightInShiningArmor: The player controls Jim (or "Hero") in his mission to find the fairies, release the princess and defeat Varalys. Bonus points: his in-game sprite shows the different types of armor he can obtain during the game, the last of which is a silverish-blue armor named "Fairy Armor".

* WhenTreesAttack: Some of the enemies of the remake are Treants, tree-like creatures.

* DungeonCrawling: The bulk of the game is location dungeons, descending into them, and defeating the bosses therein. Unlike the overworld, the dungeon maps never change between playthroughs.

%%* HauntedHouse: The Vampire Mansion.

-->'''Piledriver (from the Wrecking Crew):''' Ya know, I just realized something. You let those two goofs [Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom] argue who's boss. Meanwhile, ''you're'' the one really calling the shots.

%%* WhenTreesAttack: Treants.

%%* KnightInShiningArmor: Jim (or "Hero").
