It's October, and we're dedicating each day of the month to a new scary game. To kick things off, we take a look at "Castlevania 3" and "Phantasmagoria."
Whether on the Famicom or NES, Castlevania III is an 8-bit masterpiece.
I disagree.
Having beaten the first 3 Castlevania games I think part 3 is easily the worst. Part 1 isn't that hard and a good, fun challenge throughout, until you reach Death & Dracula. :D Castlevania II is a masterpiece and was far ahead of its time; in fact many action / adventure hybrids today follow Castlevania II's formula. Castlevania III is just Castlevania I with the difficulty increased to the point of being ridiculously cheap. Also, the graphics of Castlevania II, and I'm tempted to say the graphics of Castlevania I, are better than those of Castlevania III.
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
