8 Eyes is an action game set in a post-nuclear future where rebellious dukes have seized eight powerful jewels. Players control Orin the Falconer as he enters each duke’s castle, battles soldiers and mutants, defeats its guardian, and recovers the jewels for the Great King. Orin fights with a sword and special weapons while directing his falcon, Cutrus. In the two-player mode, a second player controls Cutrus independently.

It plays a lot like Castlevania, though you have a much smaller primary weapon - thus less opportunity for damage mitigation. However, the game's design takes this into account. There's opportunities to heal, usually appropriately...
From the creators of the original Sokoban and Megaman II Gameboy comes quite possibly the worst Castlevania clone I've ever played in my life from the NES. This game is so bad in terms of level design & awful hit detection to where it makes Frankenstein: The Monster Returns a masterpiece. As for being a PC port, its just a modify rom slap on an custom...
