I used to think I was a Castelvania fan, then playing through that collection, I realized I just really liked SotN.

Not really a huge fan of the rest of them...

Castlevania gets much better after the NES, with Super Castlevania IV being my favorite of the classicvanias.

You had to be there, man....

I wonder though, in general do you enjoy NES or other 8bit era games?

If you didn't grow up with those games and the limitations of 8 bit technology, I can see why you would be put off by them.

The NES was my first console, so yea, I do have a nostalgic love for quite a bit of the classics. I even enjoy a lot of the new indie stuff that replicates that old time style.

Hell, I love metroidvania's in general. I've got dozens of them between my Xbox and Steam library.

Something about those old Castlevania's just doesn't work for me.

Give some of the other SotN style titles a spin, the Sorrow games in particular are absolute bangers.

I like most of the games on that collection. I'm hoping they'll make a DS collection soon.

I really just finished the first one recently. I started Simons Quest but the cryptic clues were annoying. So I put it down. Now understand I finished 1-4 decades ago and haven't played them since then. It's familar but can't really remember where to go

Simons Quest is a lot of fun your first couple times with a guide. The overworld isn't really that big as far as side scrollers go. You'll want to head to an underground lake.

They expected you to buy Nintendo Power, which has an issue where the back of the poster was a complete map for Simon's Quest. That's how I got through it back then.

The Gameboy advance collection is better then Sotn.

They got two collections. One is the classic retro titles and the other is the GBA games.

Going for a third with the DS titles

Castlevania is my favorite video game series.
I'm so disappointed to see the series fall from grace.
Some of the best music in video games as well.
