... Check out our blog at: this is oldclassicvideogames.com looking back at an old game for the original nintendo, none other than the original castlevania. In this pure classic, you control a character whose main weapon is a whip. You will use your whip to kill enemies as well as break walls and other objects such as candles. This whip can be upgraded by collecting items along the way. These upgrades extend the whip's length. You can also collect other sub-weapons along the way, such as daggers or axes. You can only hold one sub-item at a time, and you must collect hearts along the way in order to activate these sub-items. These hearts will drop from enemies and other objects you destroy. Some other items include a time watch which can be used to momentarily stop time. You will also collect food along the way to replenish your health. There are six stages in the game, and each stage naturally ends with a boss fight. Once the boss is defeated you will graduate to the next stage. Naturally the game can get pretty difficult, and let's not forget to mention the fantastic music.
