Super Castlevania 4 Stage 8

[cbohar84]

Oh, Frankie has some skills this time around

[shizennoshi]

One of the best games ever made, still brings a nostalgia tear to my eye. Sad that my cartridge is actually worn out beyond playability now, and emulators just kinda...well suck. They capture the sounds incorrectly.../picky

I don't know if I prefer blood or slime in this stage. Blood makes it look more wicked, but slime (or acid if you prefer) has its charm too.

[njdevilchild]

In the Japaneese\\ version the green slime in this level is red (blood)

See these games??

These games were awesome, had incredible music and graphics and were FUN TO PLAY!!!!!!

And, they're were made with 4 Mb at the most!!!

Today we may get crappy games made with more than 2.0Gb and they're not as fun as these games!!!

We miss the old times.

Casltevania 4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're a very wise individual.

In the great words of the avgn, "Better graphics don't make a better game."

This is still my personel fav to this day, as you'll see it's at the beginning of my video game playlist. I'm still gonna get to II and III at some point and upload them too.

But you should actually check out some of the videos of the new one, "Lords of Shadow". Looks pretty good. I didn't care for the ps2 ones, but this new one looks promising.

[squallgallardo]

@Laveticus Yeah, I have it on the Xbox 360.

I gotta say, it's fun to play, but the story development left me with a lot of questions.

They didn't took too much time to explain some points, as for example: Gabriel is a Belmont, but he COULD also be a bastard son of the Cronqvist family...

There is much more. I don't say it is not fun or good to play... I just feel that it lacks something else to relate this game to our good ol' Castlevania games...

We miss them so much.

Thanks for your reply!

I remember this level...and how much I cursed at the screen when I died, particularly at the very end with the disappearing platforms and the spikes. Definitely one of the harder stages in the game.

[wrs6565]

Does anybody know where I can see what this level looked like in the Japanese version? Supposedly the pools of acid were pools of blood in the Japanese game, and it was blood dripping from the ceiling too. Wikipedia says so anyhow.

[robloxfan459]

i hated this level. acid pools, spiders, death traps, all the makings of a great but hateful level.

[RukiaXbleachX]

Is there anyway to get past the bridge with the disappearing blocks without luck or divine intervention?

[Laveticus]

There is a sort of pattern if you look for it cause I don't usually die at this part anymore, but I used to a lot back when this first came out.

[RukiaXbleachX]

I tried searching for a pattern too but without any luck. Do you remember which pattern you use? ,_,

[Laveticus]

Not really. It's not an exact science when I do it. It just seems to be jump when seeing the second block, walk on two more and wait for the next one to show up. Then you're close enough to jump off to the ledge.

Hope that helps :)

@Laveticus That's the hardest part of the stage. i remember playing this stage and not knowing how to walk and kneel at the same time. So I used to try to get through the spikes with out getting hit. I did it once but thankfully I learned the kneeling trick. As for the steps that flash away. The way I do it is look for the ones that just appear. And head for them otherwise you will fall through to death. Nice Job Though.

[Laveticus]

Thank you!

And yeah, some of the parts are vicious in this level. Definately this most heart-pounding stage besides the very last one.

[NekoSashUchiha]

OMFG I HATE THIS LEVEL!!! =_= Its A Pain To Beat. D;

[Laveticus]

Yeah. It's pretty sadistic. Made my heart jump every time those spikes moved when I first played this as a kid. It's a little less frightning nowadays, but still one of the hardest levels.

[NekoSashUchiha]

@Laveticus Lol. I Loved My Childhood :3 I Use To Play The Hell Outta This Game. As A Matter Of Fact I Played This Today And Quited On This Level XD

[Laveticus]

XD

Oh man, it's a stressful one I know.

[NekoSashUchiha]

@Laveticus Tsk I know, Lol, I Played It Before I Went To School today And Got To The Bird Dude -Forgot His Name- :3

[mittieman]

i hated this area... those spikes always hit me ^^. but the boss was pretty easy

[Laveticus]

Yeah, I know! This area scared the shit outta me when I was a kid cause of those spikes. Excuse my language, but instant Kill-Spikes freak me out BAD! My hand was probably shaking a majority of the time! :D

Probably the level I died the most on as a kid. Well, besides the last one.

[Exdeath47]

excuse your language? for what?

[Laveticus]

Oh, for saying "shit".
