So, I've always known about the Castlevania games ever since I was a kid, but I really never put much time into playing them. I really can only remember renting C64 when I was younger and hating it because I had no idea what to do. It's surprising that I never even tried the NES/SNES/GEN games growing up because I was such a big horror fan. Ah well...anyways...
Flash forward to this year. I've been heavily collecting retro games for about a year and a half and I've been playing (and beating) many games form my past that I never legitimately beat growing up. No emulators, no cheats, nothing. Original games on the original systems. I then decided to pop in SCIV (after watching the AVGN special) and I loved it! Without going too much into the obvious elements that brought us all here, I really have enjoyed my time playing through the Castlevania games in my collection. These games are all new to me and its such a cool experience to just be discovering this series and the great games within.
So far, I've made it through...
4/6/15
6/20/15
8/2/15
8/23/15
9/5/15
So, now the question is...
Now what?
I've got...
-Castlevania 64
-Legacy of Darkness
-Castlevania Adventure
-Symphony of the Night
-Bloodlines
I'm not sure if I want to try out SotN now or something else. Obviously, I've hear its a great game, but I'm not sure if I want a Metroid-style game right now.
We shall see...but its a blast so far!
