I guess I should get myself to a used game store that still sells NES games. Or eBay. Or, you know, anywhere.

The Japanese version of the game is easier to emulate (though the sound chip isn't always perfectly done), and is also easier to play, having a different damage scale (harder than US earlier in the game, easier than US later), and having a checkpoint right before the fight with Dracula, unlike the US, that makes you replay a chunk of level, too.<br /><br />Matt, I think Symphony was a far better game at release than CV3 was at release, but there are a lot of quirky bits that haven't aged well (god, equipping potions?! [though the peanut is funny]), whereas the CV3 gameplay has remained fairly timeless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448613549782052868.post-87679084349683630922010-09-08T19:13:12.276-07:002010-09-08T19:13:12.276-07:00Castlevania III is my favorite.
