I just DL'd this to my PSP just for te hell of it, but your review makes it look challenging and fun, in a retro kinda way. Great job, I'm gonna play it til I beat it now.

[SWAGshow]

Good luck my friend, don't destroy your PSP in the process.

[Kentaro260]

i can't get past the 7th level because it's BS, you got some good skills and patience there, and for that, i'm faving it.

[SWAGshow]

Hey, cool! Yeah, this is a very tough game. I don't see how anyone could have beat this in the arcade.

[Gazza660]

do a castlevaina review man!!!! that would be really cool do more retro game reviews!!

[SWAGshow]

Look for a Castlevania review from me in September.

[ChadSpeaks]

This game is kinda cool...but the difficulty is a total bitch.

[Lionx]

Its hard, but i don't think its that hard, way too much complaining imo. I played this at 5 and a lot of the things you complain about i wasn't that angry about it, and was easy.

[CrackaStoleMyBoat]

you persistent guy

[SHlNOBl3]

fuck this game, i have never been so fuckin mad at a game, level 3 is fuckin cheap, and the level with the frogs, dear god, worst shit ever in a game

[Rakiarmas]

I have a question.

Is there a SNK Arcade Classics vol. 2? I think that might be possibility when they put Vol. 1 on the cover.

[NinjaRunningWild]

This game was back from the era when games were for real men, aka hair-on-the-chest-hard. You man-up to games like this, or puss out. Pick one.

@SWAGshow One of my buddy's actually bought the home system when it came out (for $700!) and got good enough at it that he could walk into the arcade (back when there were arcades; 1992-era) and beat it on 1 quarter, 1 life. It was insane. The guy there thought he hacked the machine because he had the memory card for it, that also worked on the arcade machine.

[DeathAdder83]

does the game play like the arcade, such as, you are basically invinsible with your infinite "qauters"?

[Bozzdawg1]

I bought this for my AES not knowing how hard it was, dear god I'm never attempting to beat this game again!!! How did you do it Bro?

[IvoryGecko1993]

@SWAGshow I downloaded this onto my Wii's Virtual Console, and when I thought Ghouls n' Ghosts was hard, this game is like playing Ghosts n' Goblins with the Power Glove. At least the home version gives you 1 extra hitpoint for your altered form... I think I might do a walkthrough of this game if I'm good enough at it...

be dead down here, lol
