Dude, I wish mine was from the release days...

Even though, mine isn't a GH version or anything. It's the regular black strip Chronicles.

Does this game even have a Greatest Hits version...?

Definitely does not have a greatest hits version. I bought mine the day it came out. I love this, it's one of my favorite Castlevania games. I just downloaded Rebirth and it seemed so lame, so I busted out Chronicles and WHAMMY so much better! I love the look of the game, the music is awesome, and Simon looks cooler than ever.

Why are you replying to a 3 year old topic? Anyway this game is great and its like $5.00 on PSN.

I finally bought this on PSN about a month ago. I don't think it matches up with its 16-bit brethren and I actually enjoyed Rebirth a lot more. Still, it does have some standout moments, particularly stages 2 and 3. It's at its best when it tries to innovate (moving mirrors, flaming rooms, frozen area, etc). The CG ending, despite its age, is quite cool. Also, the remixed music is amazing, especially level 2's (I wonder if the remix composer did work on Contra: Shattered Soldier or Neo Contra?). I can't beat the boss of the Clock Tower on Original Mode as of yet, but I beat Arranged Mode with the new and neat Simon sprite.

I really can't stand the redone Simon sprite. I only really play on that mode because the redone Dracula, by contrast, is super awesome looking.

You are correct, Sota Fujimori (mostly known for his work in bemani games) did a few songs in shattered soldier, most (all?) of neo contra and this soundtrack.

I love Chronicles. I remember being so excited when it was released I modded my PSX and bought the Jap import cuz it came out before the US version. (I ended up buying the US version too though.) I think Iga did a real good job with this one. Having 2 versions of the game on 1 disc is great and I really like the new soundtrack on the arranged mode. The FMV's look a bit dated now but I thought they were great at the time, especially the ending cinematic of the castle crumbling---the castle itself looked HUGE! The gameplay was also really good. It was a tad blocky, but it definately played like a CV and it was fun. I still play it every now and then and it still feels fresh...CV2, CV3 and SCV4 all have that quality.

I typed in Castlevania Chronicles on search, and this was the topic that came up. Didn't look and see how old it was. Glad to hear people can play it for 5 bucks.

Wow necro-thread. Anyhoo i got chronicles off the psn and can't get enough of it. The game does such a good job of kicking my ass. I wish they would make more classic games like this...
