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!
just think...we had no txt msging no email no internet no tutorials, and we all figured out how to put dracula back together and kill him again. 80s kids rule!!!!
like AVGN has said it has it's flaws but it's still a great castlevania game with memorable music and challenging gameplay. the only thing l didn't like about this game is that you have to buy items and weapons with hearts that just makes the game tedious.
@1shoryuken this is a great game, but it definently isn't hard!!! you continue in the exact place you died at when you are killed! and all the bosses you can simply walk past, well, except dracula, but he pretty much stands in three spots and let's you wham on him.
I like AVGN and all, but this game is a classic. Most people that grew up with this game have fond memories of it. Let's not get all revisionist because of one dude's opinion.
This takes me back... It was 88 or 89, I was about 7 or 8. I decided it would be a cool idea to get myself two bowls of Lay's potato chips while playing Simon's Quest; one bowl of sour cream & onion and one bowl of BBQ. That was over 20 years ago, but if I try to remember hard enough, I can still almost taste those chips... :'(
my dad and i played this game together all the time when i was a young kid . . . i beat dracula without him while he was at work . . . i think i will always feel bad about that . . . sorry for not thinking about ya pops!
I am really looking forward to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. First current gen CV title? Kojima directing? win in my book, plus from what I've seen of the character designs, it's a nice blend of Eastern and Western art influences which is nice...but I do prefer Ayami Kojima's beautiful artwork.
I partially agree with you. The game wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good gamewise as CV1 or CV3. I was pretty bummed when I beat it in less than a week.
But I agree with the music being awesome. Konami never failed with CV's music.
I just transcribed the bass line for this tune...talk about a sassy strolling groove! The composers who worked at Konami in the 1980s were total geniuses at their craft. This along with Gradius, Salamander, Goonies II, Jackal, the other Castlevania games, and the Contra series make up some of the best music in my life.
Thanks for the post I think I've just about remembered the entire song and yet its been years since I've played this game on my older cousin's nintendo.
