My OCD is kind of triggered by not doing the Castlevania games in order, but that's what the number randomizer chose
---

Never played it
---

I just tried a ROM
---

Has problems, but it was ambitious for the time. Ambition doesn't mean a good game though.
---

Good not the best in the series though(Symphony of the Night then Bloodlines would take that cake)
---

How's it compare to the other NES games?
---

bump. not getting as many votes on the last few. cmon CE! THIS IS A VIDEO GAME SITE

These topics always make me wanna play Rollercoaster Tycoon for some reason.

Then I have done well
---

I have a bit of a soft spot for this game because it was one of the first NES games I ever played. I like the gameplay, the music, and the world design, but the complaints about elements being so obscure that you probably wouldn't be able to beat the game without a guide are valid.

Yeah I got that sense when I tried it. Just left the town and tried using my whip for 3 minutes until I died from platforming >_>

nobody's played this ! :(

one more bumpo

I like it. Apparently when I was 3 I loved it. But it's too cryptic and grindy.
