Just found out Castlevania turns 40 this year. It was the first game I ever bought 😔 😔

Castlevania was also the very first game I ever bought with my own money as well. Second was Abadox, which was maybe a mistake. That game was hard....and the art was wild.

True classic, but Simon's Quest was better.

Belmont's Curse is definitely giving me SotN vibes. Haven't been this excited about a new game in a long time.

Vampire Killer was my ringtone on my Motorola razr

funny you should mention it, the you died sound from this game is my notification sound on my phone.

Oh man, I heard that sound too much while playing 😆

I remember being in 7th or 8th grade and had a random kid from my class that I never really talked to call me at home to ask if I had any tips to beat a certain level of this game. I guess he got a phone list of the class and was just going down the line to see if anyone could help.

Those soundtracks were amazing. There's a song from Simon's Quest that's been in my head so many decades, I pushed it out my banjo lol

How does it feel to be the same age as old people?

my grandfather told me "never get old". I should have listened to him

Those stupid Medusa heads were probably the beginning of my childhood traumas

Wish I knew what my first 3rd party game was. It was either Contra or The Karate Kid. Let's just say it was Contra.

The first game I recall buying is Kickle Cubicle. Not talked about all that much but it's a fun little puzzle game.
How kid me picked it with that cover art is beyond me.

if you haven't watched the Netflix show, I really enjoyed it. The second installation Nocturne was meh, but that first 4 season run was awesome.

I was 8 or 9 when the move Wizard came out and I remember SMB3 being the first $50 game I was aware of. I bet the neighbor girl across the street like a billion dollars that neither of us would ever be rich enough to afford it..... I'm still holding up my end of the bet, I wonder how she's doing
