my favorite one is "Monster Dance", the one heard when night falls. (WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE).

Iconic game. Iconic NES trilogy. Wow, I’m 43 but still play Castlevania I, II, and III. I love all three. Simon’s Quest took some risks with the open game format but it paid off. I remember the greatest enjoyment for me was the journey, not so much the beating the game. Flame whip was awesome! Great memories!

[@samuelspaulding4599]

Just listening to this is putting me right back in about 3rd grade. Loved having fun and being scared at the same time. Still do and I am almost 40.

[@beemrmem3]

Awesome, man me too. I turned 40 4 months ago. This music used to scare me playing at 12 at night in a silent dark house. Memories

[@vince84gonzo]

The Message of Darkness plays before you start the game. The screen is very dark also. It always creeped me out a little. But in the best way. Love this game.

[@headkicked]

I can still remember the first time experiencing the darkness in this game. Gives me chills down my spine!

[@chrishollandsworth6700]

One of my ALL TIME favorite games just the excitement of what will happen next! And searching for all the different parts of Dracula.

[@mariovohl7693]

Was seven when i played this game and the soundtrack still haunts me

[@allenpost3616]

Can't get enough of these tunes, I go through these randomly every few months to get my fix. This was one of my fav nes games from my early teen years. Thanks for putting this up here.

[@luv-lost]

I have had "Blooby Tears" as my ringtone for YEARS. Got the tune from VGMUSIC back in the day and had it on a specific usb stick that I still have. Even during the switch to Mp3 ringtones and everyone having their favorite song playing. My Sidekick was blasting chiptunes. I remember the day I got a "Smartphone" and it wouldn't play midi for a ringtone. I busted out the NES, connected it to my PC with an old af capture card and recorded an mp3 of the tune just to still run it on my phone. It is still my ringtone to this day. From my Sprint flip phone (My first color screen and ability to hook it up to my pc) to my current Galaxy S23. I don't know how long that is, but I remember taking a whole day to make that mp3. I still use the same usb stick. I have many OST's from many rereleases now days, but always use the ripped sound I made. Some of the releases are off, but my original rip from NES has a sound that still gives me goosebumps when I get a call. Sometimes I am too busy enjoying the tune to answer in time.

who else used to pretend to be sick so you could stay home from school and play castlevania while your parents were at work?

[@deshonedrummond]

No feeling in the world like hearing this song 16:38 as you got the fire whip. ❤️

[@BlasterS33]

You'd actually be hearing either Bloody Tears (Day Theme) or Monster Dance (Night Theme) as you get the Fire Whip, not The Silence of Daylight (Town Theme).

Best nes music of life

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

I love "Bloody Tears". It's a great song on one of the best video game soundtracks of all time, but...I actually prefer the daytime town theme, "The Silence of Daylight". My brain will always associate that music with my 1st experience with a Castlevania game. I remember watching my friend play it and the music really stood out. He had rented it and brought it over to my house...I had never played Castlevania 1, so I didn't know what the game was about. We both sat there playing, trying to figure out what to do and where to go. To this day Simon's Quest is my favorite game in the CV series, and I don't care what the AVGN or anyone else says, it's a goddamn good game! P.S. Every Friday this October I will be reviewing a different Castlevania game. The review for Simon's Quest will be this Friday, 10/9.

[@sleepingwyvern]

Unlike u i did start off from the very 1st one, however till this day the track that always clings to me is this exact one u mention, so it truly shows how a catchy masterpiece it is esp back then at its time! I'll give ur review a shot if i get the time. ofc bloody tear is unquentionable and the wannabeish new bloodstained comes no where near it, makes it even sad to know all those backers exist now while none did back in the days.

[@44MagnumHitman]

It got way too much hate. I always enjoyed Simon's Quest too.

[@DefinitelyReagan]

Fully agree that "The Silence of Daylight" is a criminally underrated track, dude.

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

@@DefinitelyReagan it's weird...I rarely pay attention to a video game's soundtrack while I play modern games, unless it's a Zelda or Mario game or something like that, but those old chip tunes were catchy and memorable. They had to do a whole lot more with a whole lot less, and the creativity really shines through.

[@DefinitelyReagan]

@@Tom_Van_Zandt Nail on the head frankly - they had to do more with less. Tunes then had to carry an entire vibe with them, support the atmosphere in lieu of actual ambient sounds, and the experiences were better off for them frankly.

[@Nah_Bohdi]

I just...need to here damage sound effects though and the occasional "bwip" from taking damage.

[@batnest5]

"Message of Darkness." Damn, what incredible music for a video game! All of the music in this series was iconic.

[@SpecialAgentOso]

This game had quite a different atmosphere than the other two. It was darker, creepier, and depressing. You could tell the towns people lived in a very dangerous world. The areas were fun to explore. I think there's a few tricks (a secret jump in the cemetery that gets you to beat the game quicker), as well as a dead end called Denis Marsh, where the strongest enemies are. It served no purpose, had an invisible stairway to get you back to the other side.. interestingly, it's "behind" the first mansion you encounter according to the paper map. There's a few remakes of the game. If someone were to insert a secret passage that leads you back to the first mansion, it would be an epic troll move on the player, who would then have to travel all the way back to castlevania's bridge.

[@Foxentails]

I don't think you can finish the game with just that cemetery jump. It's a glitch, you're not supposed to be able to make that jump. Pretty sure you would still have to do the tornado or lake kneel parts to finish it.

[@peacefulbliss1]

@@Foxentails I recall getting stuck at some point, and some expert gamer at school told me I had to go all the way to the left and kneel by some wall, I think with a specific item in hand. No internet to figure that stuff out back then!

[@peacefulbliss1]

Loved this game! All these old games and their soundtracks automatically put a smile on my face. I'm a teenager again!

[@danilotavaresofficial]

the kick sounds amazing!

[@tracydotson6960]

My favorite one of the series Listening to this takes me back to my childhood days I'd play this game for hours when I would stay up all night on Fridays and Saturdays I accidentally figured out the kneeling at the cliff before I seen it later in a Nintendo Power Magazine Awesome music for it's soundtrack "What a Horrible Night to have a Curse"

[@beemrmem3]

I call 🧢 on figuring out the tornado yourself.

[@anthony.catbagan]

19:38 Netflix Castlevanis series uses this track in season 2, 2nd to the last episode, when Trevor, Alucard and Sypha raid Dracula's castle.

@@samlibutti I would always watch my dad play this and I always wondered how the fuck you would ever figure some of it out on your own.

He said they had game genie at the time to help lol
