It is underrated because lot of people hate because it is made in Spain, if all people can look and see the only reality every one will see it is the best castlevania and stop talking about the past, the old games passed of fashion or the igarashis that are not for men i don't even think of igarashis as castlevanias and they are the better example of overrated, like who say.
I think Bloodlines, CV64 and Circle of the Moon are all underrated. But the most underrated game by far is Simon's Quest. Today it has a bad reputation as being one of the worst CV games because its not very clear what you need to do. But you need to view it in the context of the era it came out in. The game came out right at the same time that it was the cover feature of a Nintendo Power issue that told you exactly what to do in all those unclear situations. In those days everyone knew someone that had Nintendo Power, and it was just part of the culture to spread around those obscure tips so they became common knowledge, much like with the original Legend of Zelda (which, btw, also has a few "How the hell was I supposed to know to do that without a guide??" moments). In 1989, Simon's Quest was considered nothing less than one of the best NES games, period. It's only looking back from a modern perspective that it seems weak or a "black sheep".

This is not a excuse, everyone knew to write or read at this time, it has nothing to do with the "era". With the correct translation it would have received a better reputation, but I think its underrated too.
They reviewed game at that era right? Someone have some review from this era to remove my doubts please?
because its a bad game, the critics they say its good because they like rare games that play bad and confuse players of nonsense advise, you can look at it, see the old graphics, all the poeple is equal, all the boss levels are equal, all the marsh, they hash the game, not only, is the truth.
My heart weeps.Simon's Quest was a game of its time, and good for its time, reliant in great part on the gaming culture of the times, and it has aged horribly for that reason.Hating a game for its graphics is like hating a cake for how pretty the icing is. Pretty icing is always a bonus, but that's all it is.
There is a rift in the gaming culture. I would say Simon's Quest is a game that is best played when you appreciate the era when it was made. Then, you will like it. People nowadays have a tendency to compare old games with new ones, and that is so wrong.
