So... It's a remake of a remake of Castlevania 1?

It's actually a remake of Dracula X68000 which was a remake of the original Famicom version... yeah.

I picked up the PS1 version at a pawn shop a few years ago. Konami released it towards the end of the system's lifeline and I don't think anyone actually paid any attention to it.

EDIT: This is also the most "hardcore" of the Dracula games IMO. You can play through it five or six times and each playthrough gets increasingly harder. I wouldn't mind another linear stage Dracula as Rondo of Blood made my mouth water for classic material.

Marcus, that's exactly what I said.

I'm pretty sure he was agreeing with you. Which is why he said "yeah." He was just giving more info on its remake heritage.

I got CV I when it was new for the NES. That's some ball-busting difficulty for you. I may've gotten to the reaper a handful of times, I never even saw Dracula.

It'd be nice if the updated versions tightened the controls somewhat. I tried playing it a few years ago and I think a modern gamer accustomed to precise controls would be infuriated by the old-school sloppiness of it.

Yeah, the early games get pretty unfair with the situations they stick you in and expect you to get through with such limited mobility.
