"Release Date: May 1987 (NA) Publisher: Konami Developer: Konami Genre: Action The original Castlevania may have been surpassed in quality by some of the later games in the series...But it's still a very solid title in its own right. Using a whip to neutralize the large variety of undead enemies that attack you is good fun.

It wasn’t until the 16-bit era that I really got into Castlevania.""

"A true classic, and one that has been very difficult to recapture in later installments. There are some that are good games in themselves, but many of them are a flop and cannot live up to the legacy that this one created.

His story has been told many times over, but through the variations permeates his virtuous spirit and Belmontian strength."
