Wow, this game had some classic 8-bit gore didn't it. Kinda shocking to see this actually. I wish I had experienced this as a kid. I'd have slept with the lights on for a month XD.
It's rarity is moderate; the game goes for about seventy-five bucks just for the cartidge, while a boxed copy can easily nab a three hundred dollar price. That seems like a lot, but there are atari 2600 games that commend thousands of dollars, so Halloween isn't incredibly rare, just not easy to find.
The nicest touch in the game is the way that it handles a "game over." The screen displays all of the rooms of the house as the Halloween theme plays ominously, an ending which is very reminiscent of the final shots of the film itself.
The whole AVGN thing is an act. Remember his review of Simon's Quest back in the day? He re-reviewed it in the castlevania series he did this month and was more fair to it and admitted to liking it somewhat. His shtick back then was an act, not all the games he reviewed he hated.
Do you really have this game in your collection? I mean damn dude you always review the best and most rare games. It would be really cool to see your collection man.
No shit dumb fuck. I'm sure I know WAY more about video making and video games than you. What I am saying is in one of his videos he said he has everything he plays. So that is why I would like to see his collection. Does that make sense to you? And you spelled dumbass wrong lol.
@NightbladeEagle He didn't say he liked it, he said it was deeply flawed, but it still holds some nostalgia to him simply because it's a Castlevania game.
@indyj1698 Yeah, but many people have diffrent opinions on it. I think this game is too dull. I like that James nitpiks the games to show all the issues in them.

But i think he did say once that he uses roms to capture footage.

well i mean the AVGN gives some of his only C rated games like F- or something
so even if the game is not completely bad the nerd on the other hand just still says its the worst frickin game in history

He has 5 of those, at least.
