Imagine hearing this song play and a fog rolls in the room and in a flash you see a long chain lash out at your face. When you finally have enough might to get up you see a bold figure standing above you. It's Simon Belmont. I'd shit my pants lol.

My favorite sountrack ever... Super Castlevania IV and Symphony of the Night

[@jasongarrett768]

VERY happy to see the live broadcast pop up. Simon’s Theme is one of the best, and the entire soundtrack for IV is underrated for how different it is from the rest of the series's soundtracks. The personal flourishes both make it your own and still have that classy Castlevania feel.

[@alexperaza9475]

Every time I hear tunes from this game, it takes me back to when I was a kid. Truly one of the best video game soundtracks of all time, eerie but beautiful. I read somewhere that they wanted the instrumentation to sound as if monsters had performed the music on creepy monster instruments they had built themselves. That does somehow come across. It sound otherworldly.

[@notthesameman]

[@bland9876]

you cant attack upwards in most games and that's a bumber

[@kentweirdo]

@@RobWarrior27 This was the same deal for me. Around 9-10 years old I borrowed the SNES game from a friend without knowing anything about it before. I loved that one, but when Symphony of the Night came out (my mom bought it on a whim, no idea what it was about), I was instantly sucked into it-I wasn't ready for how long and detailed that game turned out to be, but there were so many unique and addictive qualities. Figures, because I loved the first three Metroid games as a kid.
