Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Castlevania series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
Best songs of all time... but why am I watching some guy go back and forth trying to level up? This game wasn't bad... it was just way too ambitious... and seriously under-tested.
Dracula! I am bac-u-la! To lay the smack-u-la! Like great grandpa Trevor! Whippin hearts, inhalin' Zombie farts! I'll find your body parts then put you back together! I'll race all over the place and when I find your face I'm gonna slippa-smacka-smika-smacka. I found your toes and I got your nose and your elbows and your tiny penis! OH MY GOD ITS SO TINY HOW'D YOU EVER HAVE SEX WITH THIS THING!?
cool stuff from the old days indeed! I miss the amount of effort and vision that went into these games. I think that's essentially how things should have been in terms of the relationship of games and the players. Back then, it was up to the developers to make the games and it was up tot the player to imaginatively invest in it. So you put effort into enjoying the experience. Now technology has gone so far ahead that video games are more like sitting back and letting the game throw itself at you
Man back in the day this game was the shit. I don't care what anybody says. I loved it. It just had a real cool feel to it. There was nothing like it back then. And the music is just classic. Every single freaking tune on this is catchy. I swear, I would be sad that night time would pass cause the music would go off, but then the next tune would always get me pumped. I got this on my PC. I STILL PLAY THIS GAME. Castlevania 2, Symphony of the Night and Mega Man 2, best game music ever.
Great game, I remember when I was younger playing this and getting frustrated because I would accidentally jump an inch too short and BAM YOU ARE DEAD IN WATER.
Back when games were hard, limited continues, no voice acting, no HD Graphics, you had to utilize your imagination, no surround sound, just Quality Gameplay, with a Whip & Holy Water. Back when Reading was Major Part of Gaming lol, Today most take all the advances for granted. I rather play Castlevania 2 over most Next Gen Games Today, for 1989 this Game was a Standard of Excellence.
@SwaggerLikeUz cant help but forget the first time I played the original final fantasy and the scope of how huge the game was just baffled me. I was like I CAN GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!?!?!!?OH MY GAWWWWDDDD!!!!! :D
@swordo21 I agree the original Final Fantasy was great, did you ever play Final Fantasy 2 on the super nes? That game really took it also took it to another level. I can't forget the original Zelda, nor Super Mario Bros. I used to play Atari before nintendo came out, like from 4years old thru 6 years old back in 1982 thru 1985. Super Mario Bros was the first time I played a game that had worlds, instead of the same stage just changed or increasing difficulty. These games were blueprints.
@spartan2222222222222 Aye when I played this game there were no strategy guides for it, so when I got stuck I was screwed. Yeah this game wasn't that tough, cause I also beat it. By the way the part that got me & my younger bro back then was the ferry ride. How in the heck were we supposed to know that ferry can take you to other parts of the game. Without any tips from gaming magazines back then I would of never found that out, cause at first that ferry only took you to one location. Remember?
@SwaggerLikeUz This is my favorite Castlevania on NES - I've been going back and beating Simon's Quest about once a year for over 20 years now and i swear it just gets more awesome every time I go back to it.
It's probably at least partially due to getting bigger tvs over the years...
@VileIntentionsUS Good stuff !!! I agree I still go back and play most of my favorites at some point. My favorites were Castlevania 2, Castlevania 3, & Super Castlevania on the SNES, & Symphony of the Night. All great classic Castlevanias. Can't believe its been all these years, seriously I remember first playing this game in the 6th grade. Back in 89', 90, this was one of the first games that blew me away. Castlevania 2 made me a fan of the series, I'm glad I still have it in my collection! :)
@rECORDABLEidiot don't forget "Garfield and Friends, The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, video arcades, Fraggle Rock, Operation Wolf, Rocky, Rambo, Indiana Jones, and a good ole' fashioned slasher movie!"
@dlove87 Same here! I was around 3 or 4 when I first played it, and the zombies roaming through the town would always scare me. I never wanted to go outside, because I knew the Werewolf and Skeletons were waiting for me. It definitely was a creepy game for its time. lol
@kraeckelium im with you. this is my personal favorite castlevania, i know its not the best in terms of the traditional gameplay, bu ti played the hell out of this and it was great. metroidvania way before symphony. i know for a while all the japanese sequels were trying to be incorporate rpg elements (zelda 2 comes to mind), but for this game it worked (zelda 2 is another fav).
haha more than half of that video is just grinding, but I know it is just random footage set to the music. I sure remember grinding for hearts too. What fun times/memories those actually were. I loved this game.
The music at 2:50 is the best!It's called Within these castle walls!It fits perfectly when you're walking throught Dracula's castle,with no enemies on your way! :D
But this game...well,it had a great idea,i mean,non linear style,transitions from day to night,but I don't think it was executed too well.From every five minutes you have to pause for 10 seconds,bosses were rare and way too easy,castles were annoying,puzzles were way too hard to figure out,in-game clues didn't help that much,you die and lose all your hearts,and dracula was a pussy
I hated this game 20 years ago and still do.The soundtrack makes up for everything
@belosofican Soundtrack is the best part of this game. The game itself was only good if you had a hint guide. Other than that it was IMPOSSIBLE to beat!
@subby33 It wasn't that hard, but you needed LOTS OF TIME to explore the whole game, it took me like three whole weeks in the summer to finish it like 17 years ago... badass memories.
@belosofican I love the game for the EXACT same reasons you hate it, you have to figure out on your own what to do, pretty much like a real adventure I imagine would be, however, you neeeeeed a lot of TIME we grown ups no longer have... I miss those days...
I still can't quite figure out how my 10 year old self dominated this game 21 years ago. I remember I had to draw a logical map of the whole game world to remember where to go.
Many people didn't know what to make of this game in context of the other CV's of the era but I loved it all the same.
Damn, not only the soundtrack is awesome, but I am one of the few who disagree with the critics on this game... I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME! It is so mysterious and weird, that has to have value, and it was very influential for game today!
@kraeckelium I agree man. I LOVE this game as well. I remember playing this as a kid, late at night, and into the early morning, it always gave me chills when day would turn to night, and I'd be battling the undead lol.
For a couple of hours 12 years again, but with more skill I must admit. I discovered emulation like 2 or 3 years ago... I did not leave my room for 2 weeks. And I finally saw the ending from like 50 games I never could finish back then.
@kraeckelium I love this game, not just because it has the best Castlevania song ever made, but because the game itself is interesting and different from the rest.
I absolutely love the Castlevania series. This was one of the first games I ever owned as a child. I still own my Nintendo and I'd love to play it again, but I don't have enough air in my lungs to be blowing the cartridge right now lol. As for those that don't like Simon's Quest...well, it IS your opinion, but the game isn't THAT hard. Come on, I had no problem playing the game when I was 4.
Best in the nes trilogy in my opinoin. Music is just icing on the cake. Proved you don't need crazy difficulty and insane boss fights to have an amazing castlevania game. Set the precedent for symphony of the night onward. I love one and three but this one has always had more replay value, a bigger fun factor and is a much better game for killing time. Dracula should have been harder but you can make the fight hard by waiting for him to start attacking and not going crazy level grinding.
I know some of you like this game, but the 5 minutes of video shown here are pretty much what this game is like, boring, repetitive killing the same monsters/zombies to get hearts to buy the various items. The music is indeed awesome, and the dungeons are well thought out (except for the invisible floors), but the fact that there are hardly any bosses, and some things are damn impossible to figure out without a guide, make this game the worst one in the series =(
Played through it fully both once as a kid and once a couple of years ago, both times with the help of a guide. Was really painful to play through it the second time knowing that at the very end there was nothing but a really crappy designed end boss with no challenge in the final dungeon
You're going through castle ruins there isn't supposed to be enemies, he sent them all away to protect himself and sealed the castle off. You can manipulate the dracula battle to make it tougher. The fact that you can attack him while he's appearing is obviously a design flaw.
there are rpg elements incorporated into the gameplay. Some people don't like that. It's understandable. If you take your'e time and look around it isn't nearly as hard as avgn and other's make it out to be. My buddies and I used to all sit around back in the day taking turns trying to uncover new secrets and treasures looking for the next clue. It really brings people together. Anyone can just sit down and play it.
Durante 2 años jugaba a este juego todos los días. Batí todos los record mundiales de experiencia y al final lo acabe. Junto al Metal Gear de Nes y el Probotector de Nes me marcaron como hombre:
Really love this game, lots of fun... At least if you have a guide, since it's borderline impossible to beat since it was so poorly translated. Fantastic music, as well. :)
seems like the sequels always sucked on the nes for AAA titles, then the threequel comes out, just like the classic, and takes everyone out. god i love the nes, castlevania ftw, maybe not so much 2... go music though...
The only thing which sucks in Simon's Quest, is the "riddles", like, for example, crouching in front of a lake to reveal a secret -but necessary- path, while there are no clues about it.
such a great soundtrack love it :)

No question. An excellent and influential game. Amazing sound track for the NES.

@kraeckelium I love this game, not just because it has the best Castlevania song ever made, but because the game itself is interesting and different from the rest.

Notice how in the video he just walks back and forth killing monsters in the same spot. And then notice that this video is a SPEED RUN. ROFL

I was waiting to see if there was some sort of glitch or easter egg that let you finish the game. Guess he just needed some video to fill the time.

What a horrible night for having a curse.
I always thought that it was a bit stupid to say that. I mean, every night is horrible for a curse, you never want to have one

I absolutely love the Castlevania series. This was one of the first games I ever owned as a child. I still own my Nintendo and I'd love to play it again, but I don't have enough air in my lungs to be blowing the cartridge right now lol. As for those that don't like Simon's Quest...well, it IS your opinion, but the game isn't THAT hard. Come on, I had no problem playing the game when I was 4.

This game was awesome. Brings back my childhood everytime I hear the music.
deliboi281 2 years ago
Best in the nes trilogy in my opinoin. Music is just icing on the cake. Proved you don't need crazy difficulty and insane boss fights to have an amazing castlevania game. Set the precedent for symphony of the night onward. I love one and three but this one has always had more replay value, a bigger fun factor and is a much better game for killing time. Dracula should have been harder but you can make the fight hard by waiting for him to start attacking and not going crazy level grinding.

I know some of you like this game, but the 5 minutes of video shown here are pretty much what this game is like, boring, repetitive killing the same monsters/zombies to get hearts to buy the various items. The music is indeed awesome, and the dungeons are well thought out (except for the invisible floors), but the fact that there are hardly any bosses, and some things are damn impossible to figure out without a guide, make this game the worst one in the series =(

You haven't played the game :) I can tell...
You probobly just looked at the reviews.

Played through it fully both once as a kid and once a couple of years ago, both times with the help of a guide. Was really painful to play through it the second time knowing that at the very end there was nothing but a really crappy designed end boss with no challenge in the final dungeon
Godmatik20 2 years ago
You're going through castle ruins there isn't supposed to be enemies, he sent them all away to protect himself and sealed the castle off. You can manipulate the dracula battle to make it tougher. The fact that you can attack him while he's appearing is obviously a design flaw.
Luigi84289 2 years ago
there are rpg elements incorporated into the gameplay. Some people don't like that. It's understandable. If you take your'e time and look around it isn't nearly as hard as avgn and other's make it out to be. My buddies and I used to all sit around back in the day taking turns trying to uncover new secrets and treasures looking for the next clue. It really brings people together. Anyone can just sit down and play it.

Castlevania 2 is my favourite in the series, largely due to the music.

Id like to see someone cover the nighttime song from Simon's Quest. I really think it can be made into a bad ass metal song.

Durante 2 años jugaba a este juego todos los días. Batí todos los record mundiales de experiencia y al final lo acabe. Junto al Metal Gear de Nes y el Probotector de Nes me marcaron como hombre:
Simon Quest: Constancia
Metal Gear: Honor
Probotector: Lealtad y Valor a mis congeneres

Really love this game, lots of fun... At least if you have a guide, since it's borderline impossible to beat since it was so poorly translated. Fantastic music, as well. :)

seems like the sequels always sucked on the nes for AAA titles, then the threequel comes out, just like the classic, and takes everyone out. god i love the nes, castlevania ftw, maybe not so much 2... go music though...

Are you crazy Spunkalish ?
The only thing which sucks in Simon's Quest, is the "riddles", like, for example, crouching in front of a lake to reveal a secret -but necessary- path, while there are no clues about it.
All the rest of the game kick asses !
