Best Castlevania (Real Castlevanias only)

[runinruder]

You know, C64 had some really cool parts: the bull fight, the hedge-maze chase, the part where you have to carry the explosive, etc.

It had a lot of throwaway levels and a lot of stupid things (motorcycle-riding skeletons) too, and I ultimately got rid of it.  But it wasn't the complete dud it was made out to be.

Castlevania 64 is one of the best games for the format (and that's saying a lot). It got great reviews too, it wasn't made out to be a "dud" at all. Well, at least not here.

Where is "here"?  In the US, it was frowned upon and none of the cool kids would dare buy the game.  Later a law was passed where everyone who owned Castlevania 64 had to be lined up to receive a swift kick in the nuts.  The owners gladly obliged since they knew they deserved it for buying such a dud.

I always assumed Seldane was in the UK...

Why kick 'em in the nuts?  Because they didn't buy one of the hundreds of other great N64 games instead?  I say give 'em a boot to the pills for buying a N64 in the first place.

Hmmmm.... and I always thought that Seldane was in his own little world were nearly every game sucks sweaty sacks.  .....

Actually I do live in my own little world.

Hey now, I bought a brand new Pikachu N64 at TRU when it went on sale for $50 thank you very much!  Normally I wouldn't do such a thing, but, I'm crazy, so, I got the Pokemon one   And there's about 10 or so good games, that I don't regret buying, like Mischeif Makers, & Paper Mario, & even though I didn't like FPS's, I do like Golden Eye & Perfect Dark!

Yes, that was another law.  An MAN did it hurt like hell!!!  But I deserved it for daring to buy that turd of a console.  The kick in the nuts was just adding injury to insult.

Same. ^_^

Pikachu N64 looks cool, but nothing beats those colored transparent systems. They are the most beautiful consoles I've ever seen. I want them all. I have none. I will keep having none, but I will also dream on.

Exactly my point!  If anybody was dumb enough to buy a N64, they might as well buy C64, 'cause there just aren't many better choices.  C64 suffers from being Konami's first 3d foray and was a definite rush job.

Don't forget the C64 version of Castlevania. And the Amiga one. They're both refreshingly horrible.

NEVER refer to Castlevania 64 as C64. You'd be insulting one of the most influential computers/consoles of all time.

How is he insulting the X68000? 

[ParanoiaDragon]

CV64.  Yeah, I gotta admit, I was getting a little confused at first when I kept seeing people saying C64, cuz I know that's an old comp.
