Topic: Castlevania Chronicles

[Marto]

I just got my copy today of a used (near mint, not even a SINGLE scratch on the case, disk or booklet) Castlevania Chronicles for $50.

I love this game, through and through! <3

What do you guys think of it. I'm guessing everyone on this site has it, so tell me what your favourite stage/boss was, or perhaps if you liked it.

Oh, and the music for the second stage is phenomenal. I actually thoroughly enjoy the remixed music.

My favorite stage is the tower of dolls, the music of this stage is awesome.

You got ripped. 

EDITZ: IN MY INSIGNIFICANT OPINION OF COURSE

I have many years to play this one, but from what i remember my favorite stage was the clock tower and the stained glass theme for this stage my favorite music.

While I can't say I enjoyed one stage more than the other (although nr.3 is pretty cool), I do know what I enjoyed about the game itself.

Chronicles just has a really unique feel to it. Partly due to it's almost techno-ish remix. It's like Castlevania on E or something. It's also a bit darker, when compared to other late staged based CV's like SuperCV4 and Rondo. Finaly I do like Simon's new look (even though most disagree).

Good luck with the Clock Tower on Hard mode. It can get a bit tricky there.

Chronicles was never my favorite Castlevania. However, when it first came out it was only 20 bucks so I can't complain.

You didn't get ripped. Chronicles always fetches as much as original SotN discs, and DXC isn't helping to lower the prices.

I love Castlevania Chronicles. The new Simon design looked quite evil himself. (Red hair + glowing yellow eyes = awesome.) Drac's new look is the best yet.

The arranged sountrack is great. Simon's Theme is at it's most epic in this game, and Etude for the Killer is equally awesome with its sinister sound. The Original Thrashard in the Cave remains one of my preferred CV songs.

Don't forget the original mode. It's like a smoothie of greatness- SCIV's graphics with CV1's difficulty.

No way dude!  You can get it for $33 or less on the bay, I know.

:O No kidding.... I did get ripped.

Oh, and John Capricorn, sorry if in the other thread my reply sounded insulting. That was very uncalled for on my part.

Azmodan, I personally agree on Thrashard in the Cave, however, there's something about the new one that makes it one of the most memorable tracks in the remixes.

I still have yet to play this

It is WELL worth it, and you should get it when you have the chance.

I just beat it today, and I must say that this game has been around for 21 years specifically because any title that has its roots in a game this astounding should be of legendary status!

Chronicles is a great little game that, despite what people say, is actually very little like CV1 with the exception of a couple stages. I got mine when it came out, but I don't think $50 is too much to pay for it. It's not like $150 for a copy of Rondo!

...I was willing to dish out $190 for a brand new copy of CC.  I have some sort of sickness I believe....

This one's on top of my list, seeing a new Simon and overall, this game is enjoyable.

I wanted to buy a japanese version back then (because it was cheaper and for variety), but I found out that it had no extras, no interview and art gallery. Sigh.
