Shadow Gate is an awesome game. Very unfortunate deaths though... For instance, in the room with the mirrors, one mirror sucks you into space where you suffocate, and if I recall correctly, one explodes impaling you with glass shards! Then there's the dragon and the slime that dissolves your skin! And you can also fall down a trap door, break your legs so you can't move and you starve. It's fun though.
You suck so much at Castlevania, that after the castle collapsed, you fell off the cliff into the ocean and drowned!
