November 18, 2021 at 1:40 pmThe one that started it all! James’s character speaks to me when I revisit these games. I won’t play Castlevania II for real, but sometimes I’ll mess around in it because it has such great music and the nostalgia factor is off the charts.
Thanks for all the laughs and insights, James! 🙂
