Title.
It took me 20 years to beat it (in 2025!). Even then, I felt I mostly got lucky, not that I ever mastered or figured out the game. And even all that was only ever enabled by save state scumming.
What. The Hell. Was Up. With this game.

As it was earlier in the Game Boy's life, let's say they didn't know everything they figured out by Belmont's Revenge, but gave it a hell of a try.
Hence why Legends was such a disappointment other than the promotional art and some of the compositions.

The Castlevania: The Adventure ;D

Maegawa-san graduated from university eight years ago and immediately joined Konami as a programmer. It was here that he programmed the Game Boy version of Dracula Densetsu (Castlevania), a game he is quick to point out was "not very good" (https://www.ign.com/articles/1997/04/15/treasure-talks-yuke-yuke)
Judging by the release timelines and the really inconsistent scope / quality in their games at the time, it would seem that 89 was a pretty bad year to be developing at Konami if you weren't on something like Gradius 3 or Dracula's Curse.
