There's so much fan-service out there for Castlevania, and yet very little modern-day love in terms of sequels and/or remakes. This still remains the perfect Castlevania game, a side-scrolling wonder of creepy castles, scary monsters, eerie ghosts, bloodthirsty bats, and terrifying pork chops. This is one of the mack-daddies, folks. If all of the best and brightest NES games took human form, founded a shadowy political council, and plotted to take over the world, then Castlevania would probably be, like, the treasurer, or something. Maybe even a senator. And the music? Splendidly scary. Being genuinely afraid of Dracula is totally understandable.
