VAMPIRE HUNTER D Vampire Hunter D is based off a famous anime by the same name. There is actually two VHD(vampire hunter D) movies. The first came out sometime around 1985, and they just reproduced a new movie that came out in Japan theaters in 1999. The PSX version is based off the new movie. This FAQ’s was not that hard to write, but I still don't know what the plot is of the story since they speak in Japanese, and it's subtitled in Japanese. So if anyone has this game, and knows some of the plot or main character name's please feel free to e-mail me, of course I will give you full credit for it. Plus if any one wishes to use this FAQ’s for their web site, you may, but please E-mail me first. 12/18/99 - Version 1.1- Trans. on main Menu Screen, controls for D & the girl in Red, and a list of what some items do. 12/21/99 - Version 1.2 - Learned a little more on the plot" (Thanks to Da Worm).
