Topic: Castlevania on Halloween

[Ratty]

Last October I played through Belmont's Revenge, Chronicles (original and arranged version) Legends, CV64 (both characters) and I think the original Castlevania. Taking it easy this year. I want to replay Legacy of Darkness and/or C64 but can't find my cartridges. Might just replay Lament of Innocence instead. Not really feeling the mood for much spooky games this year though, I've played more Red Alert 1 than anything else the last few weeks.

God, some of you really like Castlevania.

I've been thinking of doing another live stream Castlevania Marathon Special. Last year it was Kid Dracula, SotN, and Chronicles (PSX). Any suggestions for this year? I got the SNES capture working again (SCVIV??).

Haunted Castle, Vampire Killer, and Judgment. :3

[Mystic Myotis]

Played Circle of the Moon.

Ha, Ha, puke.

HC and VK probably aren't bad games but I don't think I have access to either. I may have Haunted Castle on some collection somewhere, but honestly? That's never going to get beaten. And Judgement? Eh. No thanks honestly.

And yes, I have played CotM recently on stream.

I haven't done Aria though, and everyone keeps asking about it.

Maybe SCVIV, Aria, and another? I don't have access to any of the NES trilogy off hand other than Simon's Quest, and screw that. I don't have any Sega systems (sans DC but that doesn't help here). Maybe Dracula X Chronicles?

Could try and squeeze in Harmony of Dissonance maybe as well.

I don't have equipment to stream the DS games.

I would be down if you did another CV stream. I thought the one you did last year (or whenever it was) was a lot of fun.

You can play "Vampire Killer" through the Wii-U's vWii's MSX emulator.  It's actually a very friendly emulator.
Not sure if you had an MSX2 to play that game 'legit', but if you did, it would be cool.  It would be cool for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (if it wasn't included in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection).

Is it possible to stream Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel? It's a kickass Gameboy Color game.

Sorry. This is a real hardware, no-emu, stream. I have no intention of breaking the law.

Didn't Vampire Killer release on PC or something though? Otherwise I'd need to get a real MSX, but honestly, for the money needed I don't have any desire at the moment.

I can do any Gameboy title as long as I can find it. I have both the Super Gameboy and Gameboy Player, so I will be able to play any GB,. GBC, and GBA game. I have a GB night coming up this Saturday in fact!

Annual run through Castlevania: Symphony of the Night starts tonight for me, followed by the first Lords of Shadow. I have the cartridges for Aria, Circle, and Harmony, too. Who knows?

God, some of you really like Castlevania.

Did you forget where you're posting?  Hahaha.

You mean...there are people here who don't..?

What? That would be news to me. Show yourselves!

If you ever actually wanted to do Haunted Castle, there's that Japanese PS2 release of it. The emulation's pretty wonky on it, however.
