Best Castlevania.

[@cyberdelicxp9125]

[@aic8326]

I don't care about all the negativity against this game, it was and still is awesome.... if it wasn't for the masterpiece castlevania 4, Simon's quest would be the best one made

[@Keithustus]

Huh, I had thought River City Ransom was the real king of that (apart from MUDs of course) but checked and nope, Castlevania 2 was out about a year earlier.

[@Ryosuke1208]

I guess because it was not everyone's cup of tea, especially at the time, but once you could get through that, boy, it's one of the best games ever made.

As a 40 year old man who remembers getting his 2nd Nintendo Power with this game on the cover and playing this game 30 years ago,, but currently laid up in bed with terrible back pain you have brought a rare smile to my face and brought me to tears of joy. Thank you for the nostalgia!

Good thing you had Nintendo Power, because I doubt anyone would have guessed to equip a bone or whatever and then kneel down at a certain place until a tornado picks you up.

the silence of the daylight will always be one of my fave tracks from this game. since i was a child ive always loved it.

The silence of daylight, bloody tears and within these castle walls are some of the greatest video game music themes ever composed hands down. It’s no contest.

[@rickgillette2470]

This soundtrack for this game is what got me into video games back in the day. I had zero interest in Atari, Sega Master System and Nintendo Entertainment System. All of my friends and relatives were into games, but my mother used to babysit my cousin and one day he brought of his NES and this game. I was in my bedroom and the melodies for this game kept distracting me and I came out and asked him what he was playing. The rest is history, and this series has always held a special place in my heart.

[@WillGrandin]

Great music from a vastly underrated game! "Bloody Tears" was amazing!

[@G3rain1]

The music from this game is some of the best in the series, however the gameplay is probably the worst.
