man the graphics of this game looked incredible for a genesis game its almost snes graphic quality and definitly in my opinion put other genesis games with decent looking graphics like sonic the hedgehog to shame expect for contra hard corps which also has bad ass lokking graphics konami at the time really push the genesis technical limitions to the max including the soundtrack by michiru yamani
I am glad that I see this. I only heard of it and seen videos like this one. I wonder if they got this on the Virtual Console for the Wii, Playstation Network for the PS3, or Xbox Live Arcade for the 360? I am a huge Castlevania Fan and I want this one. It looks fun! : )
@Warblefly41 No, they are there intentionally put in by Konami to make the stage a little harder, it's an illusion and impressive design for the old Megadrive/Genesis.
It might be a step back from Super Castlevania IV in terms of gameplay mechanics, but I actually like Bloodlines a bit more, mostly due to its art direction (which foreshadows the post-SOTN titles).
@ cubex55, it would have been hilarious if the minotaurs had caused the structures to fall on top of them by taking away all of the pillars. The results of the skeletons falling on the swinging guillotine were very interesting. The ability of the minotaurs to breathe underwater was not cool. I preferred to see them drown! Are those spiked platforms instant death in this Castlevania game?
Phlebiax: Depending on who you chose in the beginning your route is slightly different. Like the Whip allows you to swing while the lance allows you to vault upwards. You go back to the same spot in the end.
I'm wondering if there are any alternate routes in this game? As something is saying me there is. But i'm not quite sure. Would be nice to see a new longplay of it then if they exist.
@Mysterious0Bob The most notable thing was the great music, but that's because Konami's arcade machines used FM synthesis just like the genesis to make their music, so it was easy for them to make the genesis really sing.
@Mysterious0Bob Agreed, according to Game Pro magazine, they called the developers at Konami "Wizards" because the TMNT game also has the illusion that there are more colors on screen than what the Genesis could originally produce.
@Mysterious0Bob And then you see Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure, and Dynamite Headdy, and suddenly Bloodlines and Hard Corps look kinda plain.
Then again, Treasure was formed by former Konami employees, so...
Elizabeth Bartley was a real life vampire in the 19th century, if I recall correctly. She lured young virgin girls to her castle, imprisoned them, and drained their blood into a huge vat which she then bathed in, believing it would give her immortality.

This and Contra Hard Corp did things on the Megadrive that it really shouldn't been capable of. They had some great programmers at Konami.
