What our customer's say!

"Awesome classic NES game.", This game is pretty awesome. It shouldn't take very long to play through, but the next to last stage is a pain. I hadn't ever played the original NES version, so I didn't realize that once you beat the game you play through again on a much harder difficulty. If you breezed through the first time around, this will definitely be more of a challenge. It's a great game though, and I highly recommend it for any fan of the classic action/platforming games. It will definitely make you work hard to beat it.

"An eight-year-old's review", First of all, I must say that I have not beat the game yet. So, if you buy it, don't freak out that I am not an expert at this game. Now, back to the point. The first level of the whole game is so cool, but very challenging. And one of the cool parts is that it shows how many points you have. The other cool part is that you have to battle a little mini-boss, if you want to consider it that way. And, there are five tricky parts on the first level, between you and mini-boss. They are: 1) little bandits that are pink knock you down one life, but you have a magic whip, so be glad about that. Now, if you flash the whip, pressing "B", you'll kill the bandits and about the other thing, you have to go up many staircases. 2) the flying bats always knock you down, and it is a little bit frustrating. 3) you have to avoid those bandits when they come at a great speed on both sides. 4) you have to not fall into the water when you're underground. 5) the evil mini-boss can fly under and over you, knocking you over whenever he can. I have half-killed him. I never beat the first level of the game. But still, it is a fun game. You should buy it!

"Classic Castlevania, Amazing Arcade Action, Great Fun, Great Game", No, this is not an easy one, but set it down and after awhile try try again, it highly addictive, nice graphics, an older game at its best...

Am only half way thru this one but enjoy every second, I'm a poor gamer as away from these for some time, this one is an excellent one to home in your skills..

This is pure Arcade Action, most will love this one..even with low skills, you will eventually make it to the next, easy games you will set aside, this one you play play again, is fantastic, great to play an original as so well done.

A Classic is challenging, but not impossible at all, and you don't have to keep searching for some impossible find, is Action Arcade fun, it just doesn't get better than this, wow...

"Castlevania", This game is the one that started it all in matters of the castlevania trilogies i always played this game even when i had my first NES and that classic feel of this game has never left it will always be the best cause you never forget your first.

"Classic, but not without its flaws", Bittersweet memories come to mind upon thinking of this game. Short story shorter, this game features Simon Belmont, who is hunting Dracula. Not entirely intriguing, but whatever gets you whipping skeletons and vampires. It's easily one of the most fun games of its time, but in retrospect, Castlevania's game mechanics are unapologetically screwed up. The words "Medusa head" and "Fleaman" bring shivers to even the most hardened gamers' spines, as they remember being humbled under the digital molasses weighing down Simon while annoying enemies knock him into bottomless pits. The player has no mid-air control, which frustrates to no end as agile, chastising enemies run loops around him/her. This kind of stuff was hardly acceptable, considering the level of control you feel over Mario in his respective series. Another problem is that you'll find yourself mindlessly running into worthless items while holding something good like holy water or a cross, a problem remedied in future Castlevania installments. On a superficial note though, the game has some of the best music for its time, as the catchy bleeps and bloops composing tracks like "Wicked Child" still get stuck in my head.

Yeah, that's all-- It's a fun game, but certainly hasn't aged well. Some things are better off staying a memory.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Castlevania....", First thing you have to ask yourself before buying any of the Classic NES titles, is it worth it for this Classic NES title? Depends on your love for that particular series. For me, personally, there are very few in the Classic NES series that I feel is worthy of its' price. Castlevania is, at least to me. What I love most about this port of the classic is how challenging this game is. I'll agree with another reviewer in that only the truly hardcore, diehard gamer will probably finish this game. It's that challenging but well worth it. Do I recommend it? Definitely. Course, if you're looking for another Symphony of the Night, you're not going to find it here. However, it doesn't mean it isn't a great game. If you want to see where the series all began, this is the one to get.

Hopefully, Nintendo & Konami will rerelease Simon's Quest and Dracula's Curse in the Classic NES series, too. Those are classics worth owning as well.

"Are you man enough to conquer Dracula's castle?", Playing Castlevania again after all these years was truely a breath of fresh air. In the very first adventure through Dracula's castle this title proves that you must be hardcore to defeat it. With cheap hits at times and timing variouse areas this game is not for the weak.

The plot here is simple. You are Simon Belmont and recently Dracula has returned from the dead and is raising hell litterally. Your goal is to go through six levels of hell and face various monsters in your quest to slay Dracula. With only a mystical whip and big ol' set of grapefruits you embak on yur quest. Now you do get variouse sub weapons along the way, from the weak throwing dagger to the devastating holy water.

Now for the GBA edition they did include a save option for those who do a lot of traveling. This is a nifty feature that for some will make the game more bearable, but trust me it's not much.

Overall this is a game from the old days that will teach these young gamers the new meaning of discipline. If you can conqure Dracula's castle in this entry of the franchise, than maybe there is hope for your skills.

"Classic Castlevania", Castlevania, no matter how you look at it, has become a legendary series in the world of gaming. The first in the series may not live up to some of the future games (Symphony of the Night, if you get my drift) but that doesn't mean it doesn't live up. Castlevania soars wit the first in the series and even decades later its still fun.

The game is all about a man named Simon. He is a descendant of the Belmont's, a family that has fought Dracula for centuries. He wields a magical whip and is ready to continue the Belmont legacy by dropping in on Dracula's home of Castlevania and banishing him once more. But his trip won't be easy for the Castle is full of Dracula's minions who will stop it nothing to make sure Simon doesn't make his way to the count.

Castlevania, the first one, is comprised of six stages. Throughout these six stages you'll use your whip to defeat Dracula's minions. At the end of each stage is a boss monster and at the end of stage six is Dracula himself. Throughout the stages Simon can use more than just a whip. He can obtain sub-weapons such as an Axe, Dagger, Holy Water or the Boomerang. Each sub-weapon is fueled by hearts which Simon can pick up.

The music, for its time, was incredibly good. Anyone who knows Castlevania knows that the series has good music. This one is no exception. It sounds really good.

The graphics, again, a direct port. They're really colorful but because its a port we still have those glitches and whatnot that cursed the original NES cartridge. Also, in order to fit the GBA screen, some of the aspect ratio had to be reduced. Some things are very small and look almost a tad bit worse because of this.

It's a simplistic game but lets be forewarned: This the Classic NES Series and anyone who owns a game from the classic nes series knows that this is a DIRECT port of the original game. The music, graphics and features are the same.

Castlevania also doesn't suffer from countless re-releases like others in the series do. But the game is short (only six stages) so it may or may not be worth forking over twenty bucks for some people.
