That was a living hell, even with the external save slots. But color me surprised, cause I never had any interest in sidescroller platformers but something hooked me in Castlevania. The atmosphere was great, the music was banging, and the objective was clear: Whip the fuck out of those demon spawns.

I think in at least 3 different points (Frankenstein, Grim Reaper, and the corridor before his room) I came dangerously close to putting a buckshot through my skull. I guess this is what a couple of hours of memorizing patterns does to a guy, but thankfully I managed to power through. And whatdya know! It was rewarding.
