The original NES Castlevania on GBA with its pixels intact. A piece of video game history, still as brutal and iconic. A must for purists.

"Classic"
Replaying the original Castlevania means rediscovering "Vampire Killer" and its cousins, among the finest chiptune melodies ever written. These heroic, anxious themes, etched into a whole generation's memory, stick to the whip-cracking action. An 8-bit sonic treasure replayed with undimmed pleasure.
