10 Early Versions Of Iconic Video Game Characters You Won't Believe

7. Alucard Was Just A Generic Looking Vampire

Alucard is a beautiful man, a man made more beautiful by his long flowing white hair and gothic fashion sense. It€™s for this reason that fans of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will be shocked to discover the uninspired look of the original version of the character as depicted in Castlevania III. Compared to his appearance in Symphony of the Night, the version of Alucard pictured above from Castlevania III just lacks the same charm and elegance of his successor, as well as lacking his long beautiful white hair.

Considering his bland and unimaginative design, it should be no surprise that he was heavily redesigned when the time came for him to star in his own game. The change, as I€™'m sure you can judge for yourself, was tremendously positive.
