Surely somebody has to open them at some point. Otherwise you just own a brightly coloured piece of cardboard wrapped in cellophane. Then you sell it onto the next person who gets to admire the box for a while. Until you open the box, the cartridge both exists and doesn't exist.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was the first game I ever competed/beat. It's especially memorable for me as my mother helped me beat it by reading the map book and guiding me.

[@deoglemnaco7025]

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this game. When I was a child my parents took me to one of those "trendy" churches. You know the kind, where the pastor tried to "connect" with youth, and "rap" with them.... Ugh it was so embarrassing by proxy. Well this was of course in the 1980s and Nintendo was in full-swing. He had a Nintendo in the basement of the church and used to sit with us while we played games during youth group. Well, one day he picked up a copy of Castlevania, and of course we really liked it! David or "Davy" (the pastor) really ran with this. I guess he thought it fit in well with youth group as it was Christian oriented, and you were fighting evil on behalf of God. After a few weeks, he started coming to church dressed as Simon from the video game. Eventually he brought a whip, and started to try to whip stuff around the church. For instance, would try to whip "out" the candles etc. He was never really good. One day he was dressed up at Simon and was giving the Sermon (this time in front of all the church, adults etc) and he was trying to make a point... pulled out his whip and tried to whip one of the lights... but on his backswing he caught a child in the eye. That child eventually lost her eye unfortunately. It was real sad, especially considering the insurance the church carried wouldn't cover this; it was considered an individual matter. I don't know what happened to the pastor, but the little girl who lost her eye is doing okay now, and certainly cracks a small smile when she sees videos like this :) That little girl is me.

[@slopesgameroom]

I don't think either Vampire Killer or Castlevania 1 is a sequel. That's like asking if Dracula X or Rondo of Blood is a sequel, when they're two different adaptations of the same concept. They don't play the same way, sure, but they've both got roughly the same story - Vampire Killer and Castlevania 1 are about Simon Belmont hunting down and killing Dracula, Dracula X and Rondo are both about Richter Belmont fighting Dracula. That's how the official timeline treats them.

[@petehobson1054]

Another amazing video. Never played the games (please don't hit my face!) But your videos are so entertaining and interesting I am gripped everytime! I have watched many Complete History vids numerous times. Did you know that Simon Belmont was a character in the great "Captain N: The Game Master" Saturday morning cartoon?

For what it's worth, Dracula XX/Vampire's Kiss works incredibly well as a complementary experience to Rondo of Blood.

Thanks mate :D

Of all the games and all the consoles my brother and I have had, Super Castlevania is still my favorite. I'm 44 years old now and I can still remember playing that game on cold autumn or winter days and really just getting pulled into the musical score and gothic game design. Absolutely terrific soundtrack! Still waiting for a proper successor and I hear tell that Sony wants to lease or buy Konami's biggest properties? If so, I think that could be a winner.

Sounds like "the complete history of" has just entered it's Konami arc

Castlevania’s music has always been such a huge factor on where I rank the games. I always knock a game down a few pegs if the OST doesn’t meet the series’ high standards. Looking at you, Harmony of Dissonance.

more than welcome great work

It's been a longtime. Rondo Of Blood is the hardest out of all the games in my opinion.
