    TAS originally published on 2023-10-08
    Haunted Castle is a Castlevania ( tasvideos.org/GameGroups/27 ) game released in arcades in 1988. This time, Dracula has kidnapped Simon Belmont's wife, and it's up to him to save her. This game is also infamous for being extremely difficult, especially on version M, where Simon can lose half of his health when getting hit by certain enemies or projectiles (that is, the majority of them) on default settings, whilst only giving the player one life.
    zggzdydp ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/z... ) plays on Version K, which has a more manageable difficulty (mainly enemies not hitting like tanks), allowing for several damage boosts, and rescues Simon's wife in record time.

    Poor guy has to hold it in all the way to Dracula's castle for the only working toilet.

    Seeing Simon wielding a sword, a boomerang and a bomb always feels like a parody material.
    Can't believe this game can be beaten in 10 minutes mark.

    10:30 Tragically, Dracula's T-posing was not enough to assert dominance over the Belmont.

    The game that surprised me when I found out theres more than stage 1.
    Apparently theres an entire game to this difficult adventure.

    Always interested seeing this one. Despite looking and playing like a cheap bootleg as well as being named Haunted Castle, it's an official Castlevania game alright.

      Some of its songs actually reappear in the GBA and DS Castlevania games. Stage 5’s theme is in Dawn of Sorrow, for example.

    I remember this being a pretty jank entry in the series. But it's the game that gave us _"Cross Your Heart",_ so it gets a pass in my book.

      Haunted Castle is a Castlevania game. It's just not a part of the "main" series.
      Note the music, most of which is used in other Castlevania games-- Stage 1 (can't remember the actual name), Bloody Tears, Don't Wait Until Night (later used as part of Julius' theme), Stage 5 (again, can't remember the actual name), etc.

    That obscure and hard Castlevania game, I've played the M version 4 years ago on MAME for the the first time a few times, but never finished it, It requires a lot of patience, maybe another time, Great TAS!

    I like how many commenters see this for what it is: A Subpar Castlevania outing; though some seem a little confused:
    It really did happen! And it stank!

    • @Reynsoon
      @Reynsoon Před 8 měsíci

      Subpar Castlevania I. Only thing it's got going for it is the soundtrack, it looks miserable to play and the pixel art misses the mark a few too many times.

      That's the harpy skip. So normally in that other area you're supposed to beat two harpies. The stopwatch is used to prevent them from spawning at all and the game simply checks if there's no harpies and lets Simon through.

      Japanese name for this game is completely same as NES Castlevania JP, as well as SNES Super Castlevania IV JP. I don't know what was in their mind, but that would be confusing as heck.
