love it

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

I was iffy about this Castlevania after hearing that the series has branched off a completely differently direction from the original. game. but after playing it I found that this game is not only entertaining for hours it is challenging. unfortunately it does not save your progress for you. which is to be expected of an NES game. I have yet to beat the game seeing as I would need to do it in one sitting but I know that the boss battles are progressively more difficult and the levels have fun hidden perks to find kind of like Mario

Did not work. Bad seller! Buyer Beware!

I can get any other cartridge I put in to my NES to work. With the one from this seller, all I get it the blinking screen of death. Does not matter how the cartridge is positioned, or using the reset method. Busted cartridge.

Not the best Castlevania but still pretty good

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2015

If you want to play a game about making your way through a haunted castle (or some place equally spooky) fighting ghosts, zombies, vampires, and other monsters, you have a lot of options these days. But back in the day, if you wanted that this was the game to play - and it was so well done it launched a franchise.

The graphics aren't bad (for an 8-bit game) but they're rather more colorful than one would expect for a game that's trying to invoke a gothic-horror feel. The music is quite good, however - and so catchy that most of the tracks were remixed in countless other Castlevania games. The game play is simple yet challenging, though the game is relatively short if you don't count the hours spent replaying levels trying to beat them. Over-all I'd say it isn't the best of the Castlevania games, but it's still pretty well done.

great game, great music, good graphics, but it's hard. hey it has unlimited continues, I finished it 25 years ago i had to leave the nes on overnight and keep trying the next day but I did it. The challenge along with the fact that it's a fun game is why I like it so much.

For those who get my headline, you have to get this for your collection. One of the greatest video games of all time arrived in great condition just as advertised from the seller. Keep in mind, that I purchsed this strictly for the game cartridge as it will be displayed alongside my Castlevania figures. BTW - Only the cartridge and black slipcase was received; however, from previous experiences, I knew not to expect the cardboard case and only to expect the cartridge.

Pros:
- It's the NES original Castlevania!
- Label is fully intact
- Arrived with black plastic slipcase

Cons: No cardboard case or instruction manual (however this was expected from previous purchases)

The game is awesome, delivery was fast.
The cartridge looked good but the inside was one of the dirtiest nes games I came across in a while. The cartridge barely went in my toaster. The price was to expensive for how dirty the game was. After cleaning the game it played great.
