    Castlevania IV. One of the best games of my childhood; The gameplay, the atmosphere, the art, and ESPECIALLY the music, it brings back so much memories. I remember I use to watch my dad play this game all the time, and every time he asks me if I wanna play, I always say no because I found it a little too scary, while at the same time was still amazed by everything. It was pretty much one of the first games that got me into gaming. Thanks dad and Konami!

    This video showed up in my recommended feed and I think this was very well done. I played some of these games so I have my own opinions on them but a couple of things about Castlevania Legends.. there are a couple of theories about why it was erased from the timeline. The more prominent one is that Koji Igurashi wasn't too keen on female protagonists..the other one is that the baby Sonya is holding in her ending is actually Trevor and the father is Alucard.

    • @PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries

    • @Deatheater4444
      @Deatheater4444 2 года назад

      @@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Ignore him, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
      Trevor was hard confirmed to be Sypha and Alucard's son in the JP version of Legends, and in all but three of Igarashi's games, you had playable female protagonists. Several in some cases.
      Two of his games, Order of Ecclesia and the successor project Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, have women as the main protagonists.
      Legends was retconned out because it conflicted with Lament of Innocence's story.
      That's literally the reason. You had two prequels; one was new and expensive to make and currently on sale for the dominant platform of the day, and the other was an obscure game for the original Gameboy that sold and reviewed poorly.

    I was one of the only nerds with a CD burner in 1997. You needed a SCSI controller. They had no buffer. Most hard drives could barely fit a single CD image. And blank CDs were about $15 each. So the only thing worth copying was PSX games. But I was in all these IRC warez groups and started getting things almost a year before they were released in the US. The two I was really excited about were Dracula X and Metal Gear Solid. Symphony of the Night was Dracula X in Japan. Actually it was a really long name, but the English kana part was Dracula X.
    It made me so happy because my favorite games were the good 2D ones like 1942 or Street Fighter, but everybody said that SCEA (Sony America) refused to release 2D games. For months everybody said it wasn't even going to be released in the US. I was in college and I started taking Japanese so I could play newer games. 😂

    Trevor is the bonus character in Legacy of Darkness, not Richter. That only stuck out because of the amazing Netflix show.
    It's Uncharted, not Unchartered.

    A tip for home computers with one button: Either, use an emulator, and map up to a second button, or if using the original hardware, wire a button, or add a button, and tie it into the Up control. I used to use Sega Master System or Genesis pads with my C64 and Amiga, and rewire one of the buttons to Up.

Expect it to combine the role playing & action with puzzles & mystery but also world building as well as freely wandering. The lore occurs & you either influence it for the better or ride the 🌊
    Have a family. Build a palace. Build a series of palaces. Build a world. Demolish ruins & all that entails. Secure your station &.........THRIVE AS WELL AS SURVIVE.

    Really? You honestly think that magazine cover is "too much" for kids? When you were a kid did yo think it was too much? Did it traumatize you? Are you forever psychologically scarred as a result of seeing that cover as a kid? If the answer is "no", then there's nothing wrong with the magazine cover, except over-protective adults being "helicopter parents" to their kids who will one day grow up and realize the parents were completely out of their minds.

    Castlevania was the first NES I bought with my OWN money! I mowed like 10 lawns and went up to Software Etc. And grabbed the game based solely on the box art seeing that there was no internet and I didn't have Nintendo Power, so after buying it blind, it instantly became my favorite game on the NES, I beat it finally back when I was 12, such amazing memories, though sadly, I believe I had to resort to a Game Genie to beat it--I KNOW..., let the flogging begin!

    In Castlevania 3 for Nintendo, PatmanQC said that you could play as 3 companions along with Trevor Belmont, a sorcerer, a pirate, and Dracula's son.
    Is Dracula's son not Alucard in this game, or is this another different son? 🤔

      Yes, the Alucard in C3 is Dracula’s son and the same character from Symphony of the Night.

    Castlevania harmony if despair is my favorite multi-player game. 3 friends and I mastered the game and had the 4x hitting swords, gets fume, and more. Somehow this game is always ignored.
