Played this via the Castlevania Collection.

I own the game on a cartridge but I never in my life beat it. Sitting down with my Switch in hand, I just decided to casually play it. Kicked my ass at first but then I finally got it. Only took me 30 years but it clicked with me and I beat it. I finally got to defeat Dracula.

It's a classic for a reason, and it's challenging, but I think I appreciate it more now. I know, fake fan and all, but I had a fun time.

Still hate getting knocked back into bottomless pits however!
