I have no clue whats happening, so that means the game sucks ass

Decently fun time, but once you know how to get past the screens (most of them are repeated) its gets boring. Really great effort from the atari tho

The greatest game on the NES imo. Literally flawless.

Yeah, I really do like this game more than mega man 4. It may be ugly and contains no music, but its an easy and short game. I think the best part is that its short, since the way I was playing (left hand on the arrow keys, right hand on space and j) any longer than 30 mins and I would've started developing carpal tunnel.

Voltman's stage can go suck my dick.

After playing through Rondo without save-states and adoring it, i decided to replay every Castlevania game without them, and imo, they're better without it.
I really think people overestimate this games difficulty, not only is it pretty easy once you understand the layout of the stages, the game is kind enough to give you 4 lives to tackle each one, which is more than enough. Hell, they even put a continue right on stage 18, so you don't have to redo the whole stage over again. Even harder parts like death's hallway can be easily bypassed with holy water.
Overall, great game. I would recommend playing this game with save-states first, but then replaying it without them after.

there's a special place in hell for the man who designed the yellow devil

my favourite 1984 famicom fighting game oat

sirena beach and pianta village are the worst things that has happened to civilization since the holocaust

Should've chose the latter.

Probably the greatest atmosphere in any game ever.

Holy shit. I didn't believe it, but it really is THAT bad.

genuinely a miracle that street fighter 2 was as good as it was because HOLY SHIT

The games kinda fun UNTIL you get to track 5. That shit is impossible. This game did spawn the best Mario kart track tho so i'll give it an extra half star

Pretty good game, I'm not a big fan of the slippery controls, annd the level design never really accommodates it. My biggest problems are that the ghost houses suck ass, and the final level is way too easy. Why is Larry's castle 20 times harder than Bowser's??
