	Castlevania (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the first game in the Castlevania franchise, but the seventh chronological installment of the franchise, based on Koji Igarashi's ideal timeline.
		The game has been adapted or remade for a number of different platforms, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (as Super Castlevania IV), the MSX (as Vampire Killer), and the Sharp X68000 (which was later ported to the PlayStation and released as Castlevania Chronicles), as well an arcade game remake called Haunted Castle.
		Castlevania is a typical platform game of the 8-bit era: the game is comprised of six levels, which are played through in a strictly linear progression.

	Castlevania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Castlevania series is one of Konami's most famous franchises, and has seen titles released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Sega Genesis, the PC Engine, the Sony PlayStation, the Sega Saturn, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2 and the Microsoft Xbox video game consoles.
		These are typical platform games in which the player takes the role of a whip-wielding warrior from the Belmont family as he ventures inside Castlevania (Count Dracula's castle) and fights a variety of supernatural beasts on his way to defeat Dracula.
		Subsequent Castlevania games have followed this new style, with the replacement of the secondary weapons by complex magic systems in which spell components are collected from enemies or found in the castle.

	Xtreme Classix - Castlevania
		Castlevania games by nature are side-scrollers that will lead you the way you must go, and show you what you must do.

	PlayStation VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Castlevania: Chronicles __________\|
		As the game progresses, you'll dive under the castle, over the castle, and all of the sorts of places you expect in the series.
		Like the older games, you have considerably less control over your whip and your jumps, which may be realistic, but it's a pain in a platformer.
		For the most part, the early Castlevania games were very difficult until you learned their tricks, and Castlevania: Chronicles is no exception.

	Video Game Talk \| Reviews \| Castlevania Curse of Darkness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Castlevania franchise has a lot of history, both in the confines of the game and as a series.
		The first foray into the third dimension with Castlevania 64 was a far from stellar experience for any gamer, and I'll admit that I was one who purchased the game only to be severely disappointed.
		If someone had walked into the room with no knowledge of this game, chances are high that they'd be hard pressed to pin down that it's a Castlevania game, unless of course they walked in during the scene early in the game where you fight Trevor Belmont.

	Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for GBA video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Konami bills this as the first Castlevania game that is set in the future—2035 to be precise, but what they don’t tell you is that it really doesn’t affect game play.
		What made this game really enjoyable, aside from the awesome level of detail and graphics, was the interesting game play elements worked into the game.
		For old time Castlevania fans and newbies to the series, this is one sweet game, which will keep you playing for some time.

	Camilla (Castlevania) - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		She appears as a non-playable character in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Demon Castle Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon.
		A model of Camilla atop her skull can be seen in early footage of Castlevania for the Nintendo 64.
		In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, a statue can be found in the Cave of Skeletons which is clearly intended to resemble Camilla's mask (Vampira) from Simon's Quest and Rondo of Blood.

	Alucard (Castlevania) - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Adrian Farenheits Tepes, also known as Alucard, is the son of Dracula in the Castlevania video game series.
		Although Castlevania: Legends was retroactively removed from the Japanese Castlevania timeline by current director Koji Igarashi, Konami USA has not reflected this, and it remained canon according to Konami USA in a Konami Timeline printed in Nintendo Power around the release of the Sorrow series.
		Alucard first makes his appearance in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow as Genya Arikado to Soma Cruz at the beginning of the game, as he enters during the game's opening scenes, attempting to protect him from Celia, the leader of the cult devoted to recreating the Dark Lord.

		And in the later stages of the game, you accumulate a lot of excess cash that can't be used for anything.
		The Nintendo 64 games, while excellent platform-style games that stayed true to the gameplay of earlier games in the series, were far too linear and short.
		The game is a recent release, and as such, it is readily available in most major stores that carry video games.

	Castlevania Chronicles for PSX video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Castlevania Chronicles is the remake of one of two Castlevania games that never made it out of Japan.
		This may seem too simple for today’s games, as they can use multiple different buttons, but eight years ago two buttons was all there was and the games were designed around them.
		This being a PlayStation game, however, you would generally expect more, but one thing to keep in mind is Konami isn’t selling this as anything else than a remake of an old game, even cutting the price in half.

	Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - video game review
		Maybe I shouldn't be griping, because these are all quality games, and the latest, titled Aria of Sorrow (what is it with all the corny names in this franchise?), is among the finest games to appear on the Nintendo portable.
		Of the three Castlevanias on the Advance, I'd say this one was the best, although Harmony has something going for it in the nostalgia department.
		Those early games on the NES were brutal; they'd beat teenagers like a gong and send them crying home to their mommies.

	Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - Cheap Ass Gamer
		The game is not so difficult that you'll throw the controller, but it is challenging enough that you'll have a sense of accomplishment after defeating a boss.
		It was a good action game, but after SOTN and all of the GBA Castlevanias, I had really started to enjoy the more Metroid-esque Castlevanias, and this one didn't follow the trend.
		Castlevania is starting to become as troublesome as Tomb Raider where nobody wants it, but they just keep appearing.

	Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow Nintendo DS Video Game Review by AceGamez
		Now, no DS game would be complete without some functionality for its touchscreen and although Dawn of Sorrow does incorporate it into some of the play aspects, for the most part they seem a bit out of place and awkward to use when controlling Soma with the directional pad and buttons.
		Though the game does have a fairly nice anime-styled intro movie, all of the other cut scenes are done via the game's normal 2D graphics engine.
		Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is certainly a must-have title for the DS.

		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.
		Castlevania for the GBA is practically identical to the original NES game as you, along with your trusty whip, infiltrate Dracula's lair for a showdown with the count himself after you take on a horde of beasts, zombies, and other nasties.
		All these years later, the original Castlevania still holds up as a more than solid side-scrolling platformer, although it's not as good or memorable as later installments in the series, such as the PS1 title Symphony of the Night, the various GBA games, and the current, excellent DS game.

		Of these, 0 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been plaed in another game cabinet, and 5 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.
		Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
		Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.

		They are never mentioned in any way in the 'plot' moments of the game so unless you stumble across them in their hidden rooms you would be missing absolutely nothing by not defeating them.

	Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Game Boy Advance
		This game has had two Castlevania games come after it, both of which seemed to respond to critics' and fans' suggestions.
		The kicker for me is the game's RPG elements, which let you fine tune the damage you do, the protection from the damage you recieve, and the frequency you recieve items when you defeat enemies, among other things.
		This game isn't mana from heaven, sometimes I feel like the enemies are more obstacles than actual night creatures trying to kill me, and that travelling to all ends of the Castle, the only setting in the game purportedly, can be a bit of a chore if you forget the route to follow.

	Video Game Veteran to Direct the "Castlevania" Flick
		To begin with a game like Castlevania doesn't have THAT complex of a storyline to fill out an entire movie, so of course they are going to have to take liberties and add story elements to the movie.
		there were element in the second game that were interesting: with the curse on your family and dying and having to gather pieces to rebuild dracula so you can destroy the curse; i could see that as interesting.
		In all, the video game industry is far more intelligent and innovative than mainstream Hollywood; and Hollywood's crapping its pants at the notion that when the younger generation grows up, they'll be sending their entertainment dollars somewhere else.

	HonestGamers - Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge () Video Game Coverage
		Where Castlevania: The Adventure was slow and plodding, Belmont’s Revenge is fast paced by Castlevania standards, and is as much fun to play as the best the series, and is about as good as the side-scrolling adventure genre has to offer.
		Castlevania III and Super Castlevania IV are often considered the best games in the series, and if they are representative of the best 8-bit and 16-bit offerings respectively, then Belmont’s Revenge is easily the best portable title.
		Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a registered trademark of its copyright holder.
