Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse

[gwk326]

this would be my favorite game if you could control the jump in the air

[Ombodi77HUN]

Childhood memories. It is the game with the best athmosphere EVER. I want to be a 5 years old vampire killer again! LOVE CASTLEVANIAS

[JoeJonesOneOneZero]

Castlevania for life!!!

[marcusnns]

Well this is from the start of the game.

You should really try it out. I loved this game when I was a kid. The music is totally epic.

[Johnnybomb1]

@marcusnns Litsen to the Japanese version.

[jambi880]

I never had this game, but I'm definitely gonna try and get hold of it. Is this the beginning of the game?

[shiptardushan]

This is from the start of the game.

[johneymute]

i love the nes and this game but it feels now very orthodox.

[DontrelleRoosevelt]

Castlevania IV FTW!

[400SA]

Ahh, I still remember what a thrill it used to be to see the next chapter of a video game come out because of how fast graphics/features and new IDEAS were advancing back then. And I love the cheesey yet classic computer music. Now the rate of advancement has gotten to the point where it can't get much better other than making video games look like a real movie (which I wouldn't like) and the soundtracks are crappy bands, no computer music. Call me old school, but I like the classics!

[shuaduah]

Mybe I'm old (31), but I agree with you. Konami's music was pretty tight. We used to bug out on these games like "man, those graphics are sick!!" I was a megaman guy, but castlevania is mos def one of the best series of all time. Old megaman by the way, not this pokemon looking stuff they got him doing now. LOL. You ain't old skool, my kids love mario 3!

[silriberto]

The BEST Castlevania game for NES series! Nothing can beat Dracula's Curse, I still have my original cartridige and NES and play once in a while! Can't wait for "Lords of Shadow" next year!

[buffdill923]

Cool...the music is awesome too!

[pmsan29]

haha..I bought this game back in 1990 the first day that it was released at toys r us.

I remember going straight to toys r us the second school let out......Took me about 1 year to beat, with no help from guide books or tip hotlines.

[xxmadgamerxx1]

if im correct i think in the first castlevania you have to be trevor belmont that couldn't be simon yep i think it was trevor

[silriberto]

In Castlevania 1 & 2 you play as Simon, and in Dracula's Curse you get to play as Trevor Belmont, because it's a prequel game, which takes place before 1 and 2. > Castlevania: 1691 > Simon's Quest: 1698 > Dracula's Curse: 1476. Hope it helps.

[RpgKrazy32]

Best soundtrack for a NES game, EVER.

[TeePur]

Yh I agree

[silriberto]

TOTALLY AGREE! Dracula's Curse soundtrack OWNZ everything!

[StickmenwillSurvive]

nice audio

[DieuLeVeritable]

Y joue très mal le gars.

[madcats3]

do you know what zelda i mean and the rabbit game? pls let me know.

[madcats3]

brings back good memories. i had nintendo when i was 12-14 years old and i only had this, flintstones, super mario bros 3 and zelda with many castles.

this game and zelda i played most but never managed to finish, this game is very hard.

and man i loved a game with a rabbit and finally after a long time i finished it.

[oyajiken]

なんか音がしょぼい気がするのは、気のせい？

[Nockgale]

i may or may not buy this game for nes idk

[LTDANMAN44]

buy u will like!!!

[silmusashi]

This game is the game that has the best soundtrack video game ever.

[enur83]

ahh classic. Remember me and a friend playd through this game. amzing and hard as hell:-)

[paztanoel]

Yeah this is the best Castlevania, Konami should make a Castlevania colletion.

[xXbelmontXx]

This is the best game ever. Im 24 now and i've been playing it since the first day it came out here , i still have my original NES and games including CV 1 , 2 and 3 (this one)

I might post a video sometime of me finishing the game without dying once.

[enur83]

And the soundtrack is so cool:-) Rember we used the code for listen too the whole soundtrack. Those were the days. Castelvania is one of my favorite series

[Majorkranky]

played this game when i borrowed it from a friend. Never bought it although i realy wanted it badly.

Thanks for the good memories~!

[staraction]

me too. I remembered when i used to live in Cali, Colombia and my best friend Carlos used to let me borrow it. I wonder if i can get this game for the Wii system with the wii points and get it so i can play it. That will be awesome!

[Metalcoholic]

CVIII has the best NES soundtrack ever. Period

[Targetsignal2]

OH MY GOD! I loved this game! Everytime I played it I felt like I was one of the Belmonts the great vampire slaying family . I went as one of Simon's ancestors to a Halloween party because I am in a medieval reenactment group and I joust, swordfight and am an archer. I wore my jousting geat and I SO looked the part. In fact my fiance and I are going as vampire slayers to a Halloween party this year.

[rockstar9112]

Every game should be like Castlevania!

[GermanZ5]

What about

Mario,Zelda and final fantasy?

[solidsnakedaboss1988]

they can suck castlevania balls

[headwizzer]

haha!

[Syntox]

Ive always wondered - why does this game look so much worse than Castlevania II?

[sternfan75]

I'd like to see Konami remake Castlevania 1-3 using the graphics and such from SOTN. That'd be badass in my opinon.

[TheCelestialTeacup]

@sternfan75 definitely. they'd probably make them 3d and crappy, there are barely any new worthwhile games anymore

[BipBippadotta]

I like the music in Akumajou Densetsu better (as all but one here seems to) although this game was much more difficult than it's Japanese counterpart. But I must say that it lacks that creepy music fade that the first two CV's had.

[BigBoss023]

This game is just absolutely hard for me no matter how many times I play it! I manage to get stuck at the end of the Haunted Ship of Fools stage at the very end, where you gotta fight the Mummies and the Cyclopses, and I always lose every time!!

This is THE MOST difficult Castlevania game in the series for me!!

[justus821]

castlevania, the blood coursing thru my veins has been cursed ever since konami released this game...this is the best game ever...anyone in disgust...i shall have your blood drained.

[bulletstopper636]

Castlevania was my favorite game.............until this one came out.

[mikevmpr3]

Dude i love this movie, being DC is my favorite castlevania (the beginning my fav castlevaniasong) so i give you a plus on that! but...were u rushing? u missed a holy water, severel candles and meat to refuel ur health!!!!

[KamilDowonna]

I must be the only person out there that enjoys the music in Castlevania III Dracula's Curse alot more then Akumajou Densetsu.

[ReikaiDemon]

Nah, totally wrong, I like it too

[bpeck77]

This game ruled my life in 7th grade ! (1990). Gotta love it!

[METAL1ON]

8( it never made it to the uk

[Klatrymadon]

'Course it did, mate. I still have my PAL copy knocking around. As the others have said, though, Akumajou Densetsu has a much better sound, thanks to the VCR6 chip! :D

[outlaw4u]

This music is in DoS...but it sounds 10 times as good

[Klatrymadon]

It's used in many of the games, but was introduced in CV3. It's kind of become an anthemic piece, almost as recognised as Vampire Killer.

[cryoscourge]

like how hard

[FlameChocobo]

This Game Is Freakin hard. but this is awesome

[Scentless]

castlevania is awesome i love it

[okami1wolf]

I still have this game

[digitalr]

While Akumajou Densetsu clearly has the more popular soundtrack compared to CastleVania III, CVIII did have it's moments. Due to the remainder of the music not being washed over by synth strings, certain parts were able to be defined in a better way. Akumajou Densetsu's version is still better, though.

[Alboma]

I miss that game.

[siyou]

throw 3 holy water and enemy takes 16 pts of damage no saving throws.

[rera1016]

Its music is different from Japanese edition.

[helgasboy]

the Japanese Music is much better Nintendo was too cheap to put the special chip in the american one

[LaLiLuLeLoSnake]

You my friend are crazy...This is beautiful music.

[lucifer984]

i like the old games, but i hate the castlevania 3 first stage song
