Own Haunted Castle???

Man, everytime I see this game on ebay...

I just want to snipe the hell out of it. It just looks too cool plus I love Castlevania.

Anyone here own it? What do you think of it?

Also there was just one on ebay the other night sold for 202, anyone here win it?

It's really only good as a collector's item or for the diehard Castlevania fan. I consider myself a big fan of the series, but Haunted Castle is so damn bad it's not worth it.

I agree. I was heartbroken when I was sniped out of one on the bay a few years back. But since playing it, I am not so bothered now.

Controls are sluggish and clunky, its very frustrating because of this... shame

Stick with SOTN or Castlevania 4!

Hey chris, keep in mind that this is supposed to be included on that upcoming Konami arcade comp. for JPN PS2. Or just MAME it.

I say that because, much as I tried to like it, Haunted Castle sucks. Its stiff, the animation is weak and its ugly. Compare it to the X68000 rev and its hard to believe this came out in close proximity. Julian (NTSC-J) and I are big Castlevania honks so if we tell you its bad, be assured that it is.

Haunted Castle is getting its own Oretachi Game Center release this summer under its Japanese name of Akumajou Dracula.

The Oretachi games might seem a bit overpriced for just one game, but they are packaged beyond great.
