The New Official Castlevania Thread!

[RadiantSvgun]

Arasoi started and ended the first one.

But here, we talk about all things Castlevania, from old to new.

Arasoi the Castlevania master has been MIA, so we'll all have to pitch in our knowledge for each other.

Mmmm well I'll kick it off with questions then, since my knowledge is limited to the usual sources

Has anyone played the arcade game? How is it?

Does anyone claim to have a full collection? It's a big series but not as big as Megaman and others.

Finally, Castlevania Adventure II - do you like it Eastern or Western style? (Cross Boomerang (also in the GBC remake) vs. Holy Water)

[Drag0nsfyre]

I can answer your Q about a full collection. I beleive Arasoi (as mentioned above) has a full one if not, it is damn extensive as seen here http://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/multi/co...r-protogem.htm

The arcade game is quarter-stealing hard. The western version, Haunted Castle is much more difficult compared to the Japan's Akumajo Dracula. Give it a try in MAME.

Castlevania Adventure II I didn't like as it moved too slowly.

Arasoi quit collecting and sold most of his collection a while ago.

I don't think I've ever seen it for sale. Trust me on this, though: you don't want it.

I have seen it on ebay twice in the past few years.. always fetches a high price (over $200 if I remember correctly).

Oh no!!!

Sad to hear that, best of luck to you Arasoi (if you still lurk here) !

For real man, hes the best of all us Castlevania people.

Oobergarm, I didn't realize you were a Castlevania fan!

I'm surprised at the lack of the original GameBoy titles in everyones collection.

I just don't like them gameplay-wise.

[RadiantSvgun]

Speaking of the gameboy games, Im surprised that no kind of remake has been done on them. Or a Castlevania Chronicles version of Castlevania III.

Yeah, they're not very good.

I haven't been around in a while. School just started so I'm hoping to be a little more active here.

Sadly my collection hasn't gotten any new games CV wise, been mainly grabbing what I can find in the wild. After November I plan on getting back to buying more CV, still got around 900 eur left but I don't know how much my vg tattoo project will cost.

So how has everyone else been ?

[RadiantSvgun]

There he is! I was wondering when you show up!
