Taking another break from the exhaustingly long journey through PS2 exclusives, we look to revisit another classic franchise whose gaming history far outstripped the discussion that the original thread attracted, another thread lost to the purge of 2016. This time it's a look at a franchise with lots of whip cracking action and gothic architecture. This time, it's a journey through Castlevania:
Game 01 - Castlevania
Developed for the NES's disk system before being ported for the US to cartridge, the original platformer established Simon Belmont as the lead in a battle against Dracula himself as he takes up the mantle 100 years after his ancestor defeated the vampire lord. Developed along side what will be our second entry into this discussion, the original game spans 18 stages and was a success that no-one foresaw leading to a legacy of titles as long as there has been.
Have you played the original and did it deserve its success?
