If anyone is wondering, the dolls at 29:00 say this: Waking up - "Who are you?(rude)"/"Welcome(polite)" Evading - "Stop it!" Death - "No!"

I do like how Blood Skeletons are actually bloody in this version, as opposed to the other versions where they just crumble into a pile of bones.

For 1993, this game looks incredible.

Well this game was made for a computer that costed as much as a car so it’s not that far fetched to expect a product this visually pleasing for a system made in the 80s that has specs similar to 5th gen consoles

When I saw it, I thought "hey this game looks gorgeous" buuuuuuut I thought it was from 88-89. When I realized it's from 1993, I just went back to believe Super Castlevania IV is the best of them all. It also plays so much better. And it's from 1991!

Ohhhh I get it!

"no death Walkthrough" so he's skipping the death fight?

Back when Konami was still good. This is the Konami we choose to remember.

Cultists in purple robes resurrect Dracula at the start, then Belmont is attacked by purple-clad zombies in the first stage. Coincidence!?

4:13 That insane bass riff during the Giant Bat fight is nuts. My fingers hurt just thinking about playing that fast slapping and plucking.

The x68000 was just such an awesome machine. It seems about 5 years ahead of its time as this looks (AND SOUNDS FOR SURE) nicer than most arcade machines of the time

X68000 is basically arcade machine in home computer form. CPS1 hardware is exactly this.

the bloody tears remix on this game is awesome, great playthrough!

Even on a crappy modern MIDI synthesiser, the music still sounds awesome.

19:10 - Stained glass golem = badass. 46:00 - Is it just me or does Dracula look like the Joker in a black suit and cape?

Wow, what an awesome version! The X68000 never ceases to amaze me.

Simon's walking like he's got a load in his pants, but the castle graphics remind me somewhat of SoTN.

The soundtrack on this system sounds awesome.

Way better-looking than Super Castlevania IV! The sprites, animations and color combinations in scenarios are superb

WHAT THE FUCK??? LISTEN TO THAT REMIXED MUSIC, HOLY SHIT.

I had no problem beating it for the first time today. But now it is the second round and i can say it is Hard and the enemys are very fast! A Masterpiece

Thank you, I actually gave up, on this emulator a year ago. lol! I have the game, but for the PlayStation emulator instead, the game is the same as the x68000 version of the game. Great game. I'm playing right now another castlevania game for the Xbox 360, castlevania harmony of despair . I'm playing hard mode and, Man that's some tough game.

stage 5 boss is like WTF the whole time, love the tea bag at the end, Needed

simply amazing on the Sharp X68000

Easily the absolute greatest Castlevania game. The 'Metroidvania' style games tend to be very messy, especially Symphony of the Night. That game required a stream of logic at times that was just ridiculous. And Super Castlevania IV broke the design laws the game had in place by giving more player control. No other game in the series is this refined and utterly perfect! Thanks for the upload, and great job! :D

Never heard of this game or console before. It looks great. Seems like the X68000 had quite a few good games too.

love the mad slap bass in draculas boss fight

Awesome soundtrack

the things I'd do to get my hands on an X68000... this game is beautiful.

This game is so confusing! It seems like there are not entire stages taken from other games but sometimes just certain screens. It looks awesome!

*THAT BLOODY TEARS MIDI REMIX IS A FUCKING BANGER*

The X68000 was almost identical to the Capcom CPS1 hardware that the likes of Street Fighter 2 and Final Fight ran on. It was used as the dev kit for this arcade machine as well. Castlevania running on arcade hardware.

Nice video !

this gotta be the best CV ever

Why were all the best Castlevania games released on obscure consoles?

OMG wicked child is on this game!!! so cool!

No. 5 directions total: left-right and three directions for downward attacks during jumps.

Two things I noticed in this version versus the "original" version included in Chronicles. 1. All graphics move faster and smoother. 2. Midi here sounds a bit different, it sounds like the 2nd midi sound (there were 3 different sound modes for Chronicles) but different.

I think this version has the best sound track.

The enemy AI is really impressive - developers, take note! It's quite obvious that the hardware is much more advanced than the SNES (despite being 2 years older!)

Not always. Compare the MSX to the NES. MSX is better in a few areas but it's a business machine so despite the hardware being similar the NES tends to be better when it comes to gaming.

good job!!

The guys were feeling funky when they did the soundtrack. looks like a solid game to me

Bloody tears plays while a statue cries bloody tears.

Thank goodness you're playing the Japanese version. The North American version was altered for some reason. In the North American version the subweapons were not able to break blocks, and the Japanese voices were cut out.

Nice AreK, Nice...Very Well done

very nice! I think best action game of X68000 stage17 dolls word "omaewadare=who are you" "kaerinasai=get out!" "iya=no!"

this game is great

Dracula looks like the Joker in this game.

thanks for the info ArekTheAbsolute

Imagine them remaking the original Castlevania in hd with Trine style visuals and adding more stages!

Nice port!!!!!

Thrashard in the cave sounds so badass

wow this game would sit perfect in an arcade cabinet! if looks and feels as a true arcade game from the mid 80s

Dat Shewolf...

you dont know how much you just made me laugh XD you have no idea

i use to have a bootleg for PlayStation. the cover was just badass!

I like that you find the game very hard as I find it very easy, a little easier than Rondo of blood and castlevania iv.

I was wondering why this looked so much like CV Chronicles then I read the description.

Poor Simon...the guy goes to all this effort time and time again (Castlevania, Vampire Killer, Haunted Castle, Super Castlevania IV, and Castlevania Chronicles), and what thanks does he get for it? A lousy curse...on on the most horrible nights, too.

Thank God for the native save file function in this game, it would be ridiculous if you had to do all levels in a row with 3 lives. At 29:23, there's a joke of a turkey leg among those blocks to the left. When whipped, it will fall down to the lower level, re-spawning all the enemies there as you drop down in a hurry to collect it before it disappears. Even when I need it, I never even bother... I hate that room in general - nothing but flying enemies and stairs, everyone's favorite cocktail in CV.

From what I know, the music here was used were done like MIDI's, using MIDI sounding instruments.

what soundchip did you use while recording this?

Nope.) In fact, it was my intention to take stopwatch - makes final part much easier and I could not afford to lose any more life points.

Once i had the chance to play it on the X68k (i think it was the only one x68k in the whole republic :D) and then years later on the PS1 ... go for the Castlevania Chronicles .. its the same thing ...

Haha, I love how Dracula has a Joker face. "Why so serious?"

great playthrough. 5 Stars have u played castlevania 2 revamped?

Have you used any MIDI modules, CM-64 or SC-55?

Just curious which music/sound devices was chosen for this playthrough?

Well, this explains why "Original Mode" in Chronicles is a bold-faced lie to anyone who only knew of the NES game. It wasn't saying WHICH CV1 it was actually based on.
