Epic Win: Castlevania
Castlevania was an epic NES game that shaped the future of gameplay and spawned a great series of games. Werewolves and vampires were a staple of pop-culture in the 80’s and early 90’s and this game complimented that time very well.

Awesome!!
I remember Castlevania, Symphony of the Night. One of the best… and rarest… games on the PSX
What percentage completion could you get? highest i could get was about 208% or something, been a while
Yes! Castlevania: SON is one of the best games ever. I still have it, and I still play it.
So cool, it brings me some memories
Great series of games that has come out over the years. Wouldn’t mind seeing a few remakes for XBox Arcade.
The following link will bring you to a page that has the game being beat in a little over 13 minutes.

This and Metroid defined a specific niche in the platformer genera.
I played Castlevania for Game Boy ALL the time when I was little. *sigh* Good times.
Wasn’t there a Castlevania text version for apple in the early 80s? I think I remember playing it in 7th grade.
Castlevania the only game, where bats von stairs may kill u instantly…
This guy is entirely too good at Castlevania.
I still play Castlevania III for the NES now and then.
The recent DS games were pretty good too.
Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Metal Gear
top 4 greatest game series ever
My (homemade) ringtone is from Castlevania. The first two games had epic music.
Castlevania was re-released for the GBA, and can still be played on the DS. You can find it generally as easily as at Toys R Us or Gamestop.
The series just rocks my socks. Except for the horrib-bad ‘first person’ 3D and this most recent ‘fighting game’. Blah.
SYMPHONY FOREVER! (And the ones like it, Dawn/Order of Ecc)
Enjoy=)
I have this game on an emulator, it’s so annoying to get hit by those Medusa Heads mid-jump and fall to your doom.
castlevania tattoo….i has it….

what a terrible night for a curse!
That was CV 2: Simon’s Quest
which was also epic. one of my favourite childhood games
CV2: Simons Quest was Epic among Epics. still the best CV game of all. With Kickass 8-bit music too
One franchise that just can’t seem to make a successful transition to 3-D. But the 2-D games are so good, it makes up for it.
Believe it or not, I’m actually playing Circle of the Moon as I’m typing this. I love this series!
Oh my gosh, I love these games. Even if I died as soon as I got in the Castle in the NES ones. D: I love the music and backgrounds they put into the games. Oh, but does anyone else think that the beginning part of the first song in the game sound a little like Thriller?
