When Castlevania hit the streets in 1986, it was destined to become a classic. The game featured detailed graphics, a great soundtrack and a decent storyline. There wasn't much like it on the market except for a little game called Metroid, but comparisons in the Metroidvania vein aside, Castlevania had what it took to enthrall gamers and keep them coming back for more. A series that's still going today, Castlevania just celebrated 25 years of the Belmont family slaying the scourge of Dracula every 100 years. We're giving a classic its due with the Belmont star who started it all in Castlevania for the NES.
