Ep. 44 - The Castlevania Gauntlet! Conquering Castlevania 1 & 2 🦇🎮 | Terrible Gamers Podcast
Kevin and Kyle take on not one, but TWO legendary NES classics in Ep. 44 of The Terrible Gamers Podcast! This time, they dive deep into Castlevania (1986) and Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest (1987) to experience the best (and worst) of early vampire-hunting action!
Will they survive the brutal platforming and monster-infested halls of Dracula’s castle in Castlevania 1? Or will they get lost in the cryptic, open-world mysteries of Simon's Quest? With whip-cracking action, punishing difficulty, and eerie 8-bit music, this episode is a must-watch for any retro gaming fan.
Watch as our hosts battle classic Castlevania enemies, struggle through infamously tough levels, and debate the merits of both games. Is Castlevania 1's tight, linear gameplay superior, or does Simon's Quest’s RPG-style exploration make it the better game?
If you love old-school Nintendo classics, gaming nostalgia, and hilarious gameplay commentary, you won’t want to miss this episode!
