“I remember playing the Castlevanias on NES. I remember renting Simon’s Quest and having absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do. I did finish Castlevania 1 and 3 though, so I have some love for the classic style.…”
“Get it on sales. This is a solid collection. Circle of the moon : don’t like it, the controls are not good and the game is tedious and not well balanced, I tried my best to appreciate it but it’s really not that good.…”
