A re-imagining of the first Castlevania game. By re-imagining I mean "how can we extract every quarter from you?". The visuals, animations and sound are just as good as in the other entries in the series, and even the gameplay is mostly serviceable, it's just a lot shorter and harder for questionable reasons.
Played this in front of some friends, died like five times in the first minute, then flipped an invincibility cheat on with no regrets. One of them described the experience as watching Simon stoically walking through 800 bats for 15 minutes.
First stage theme is a banger though! I'm glad it's been rescued from this game and put into better ones since.

When it was omitted from the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, I tried this game using MAME on my laptop rather than downloading Konami's Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection. I made the right choice; the game is extremely unforgiving and I failed to clear even the first stage. I will not be returning to this game, it is not worth the headache.
What if Belmont controls like he costantly has to go to the bathroom (just like as he looks while controlling it)? Yep.
Couldn't pass the first stage mainly because of this, but it's still an interesting piece of history.

Could be worse. It has some realy dumb design desicions like how one boss is probably impossible to defeat in the time limit without the right weapon you get in the level before. So if you drop it or miss it you have to replay the whole game... Also the last level is just not fun and wants to eat your money. I wanted to play version K but played M.
