Topic: Castlevania is hard!

Then I throw a cross/boomerang to his head and then he hits me and I die. When the cross/boomerang returns, it hits Dracula and he dies too. But the game´s over!!!!!!!!!! 

I know, I just hate when that happens! I die but I also kill the boss as well so I believe I've EARNED the right to see the ending after all the hard work and sacrifice (literally sacrifice).

They should display the ending, but with Simon lying dead on the cliff overlooking the castle. It'd be funnier and a lot more fair.

It would also be the only instance where you get the surprise bad ending cause you were just lucky enough to pull it off by accident.

It'd be like the ending in CV2 where Simon dies.

What VK said about reflexes is true, but it's also true that they're like puzzles. There's a certain way to get past every situation in every one of the old school games whether it's stopping to kill the enemies, walking right past them, etc. Sometimes the best ways are things you find out by accident. But once you know what to do and when to do it, the games become easy almost. That is until you pick them back up after a couple years of not playing them.

Amen to that. Drac is stomping my ass the last few days.  I only play CV1 while taking a dump, so maybe that's the problem?

LOL. Hey, if Drac stomping your @$$ helps you pass feces then by all means.

It happens. I once beat CV1 from beginning to end taking a dump.

In a single dump? Might wanna nibble on a bran muffin now and then, or eat a tad less red meat.

I play fast.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

That's at least a 45-minute dump (give or take a few minutes, as some speedruns have led me to believe).

[PFG9000]

I'm fairly sure I've gotten to Drac in less than 30 minutes in CV1.  I used to joke that it takes an hour to beat that game: half an hour to get to Drac and half an hour to get lucky enough to kill him before he hits you four times.

You may play fast, but you poop long time.

The way I see it is I'm combining two great pleasures into one grand occasion. Why rush through it?

Someday, I'll make you see the truth.

Something tells me that you're the guy at work who plays his DS while taking 45 minutes to drop a deuce. And you do it everyday.
