I finally see what people see in Castlevania
(1/5) > >>
vidmouse:
Castlevania was one of those games I avoided playing for awhile
because the first few times I tried it, I sucked at it something awful.
But recently I picked up Aria of Sorrow for my GBA and have
enjoyed it (so far) immensely, I think I get the attraction now...
I love the fact that the gameworld seems just so immense, and there
are all these branching paths even though it's a platformer.

I know there are other arcade roots to it (Haunted Castle, etc)
but are there any ones that people would recommend that workwell
on MAME?

Also, kind of along the same lines, what stories do you have of
games you waited for awhile to try and found out you really liked
later on?

Cheers

as far as i know, there are only a few castlevania games that run in mame:

Haunted Castle
Vs Castlevania
Castlevania PlayChoice


the play choice sucks, however vs castlevania is great...just like the original on the NES
Jack Burton:
I wouldn't call Haunted Castle the roots of Castlevania.  More like "abomination that should be forgotten."
Visitor Q:
Throw on some Nintendo emulators and you'll have a lot more.
Jack Burton:
Yeah, Aria of Sorrow is pretty good, but there are a few I think are better.  My (inevitable) list:

1.  Super Castlevania 4
2.  Rondo of Blood
3.  Castlevania
4.  Symphony of the Night
5.  Castlevania 3
