[TAS] PSX Castlevania Chronicles by strizer86 in

TAS originally published on 2021-02-18
Castlevania Chronicles is a PSX remake of the Japan-only X68000 game Akumajō Dracula (悪魔城ドラキュラ), which is a remake of the first Castlevania ( tasvideos.org/4342M ). In this game, Simon Belmont is out to defeat the evil Count Dracula.
While this movie by strizer86 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/s... ), done on Original Mode, appears to be slower than the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/2633M ), it is in fact faster by about 35 seconds if emulation and mode differences (mainly timer countdown) are not accounted for, thanks to the damage boosts that are possible on Original Mode. Please read the author's comments ( tasvideos.org/6993S ) for more details.

    There's something empowering about a man that casually walks all the way to Dracula's doorstep.

    Here comes Mr. Belmont, a disgruntled neighbor, coming to disrupt The Monster Mash, a celebration that happens every 100years... or is it 10, no one knows anymore. Hosted by yours truly, your friendly neighbor, the ultimate party dude himself, Dracula.

    This is actually a game made for the Sharp X68000. It was ported to the PS1 with some extras thrown in to make it more valuable. This (Roland SC-55, which you may be familiar with because Windows uses it as the default soundfont) is one of three sound modules for the original game. The others are the Roland CM-64 and the Yamaha YM2151 (not explicitly mentioned as such, but it's what the Sharp X68000 _actually_ sported).

    2:55 The music cuts out, and the Belmont family is genre-savvy enough to know a boss fight is on the way. He sprinkles a lil' bit of white fungus on the bat and lets nature take its course.

    Altrogh I prefer the original X68000 sound and intro, this is a good one. The graphics look very similar to SCIV, but honestly, I miss the 8-directional whip. Four different great titles on four 16bit systems - Konami managed it with Castlevania!

    Depends of the version of the game. Original X68000? Connect a midi device to the PC. Japanese PSX? It opens automatically on original mode. Early international PSX? Same as above. Late international PSX? Hold L1+R1 when selecting original mode.

    i remember the first time i got to the werewolfette(?) (actually i think its called a wifwolf) i was thinking "oh cool i get to rescue a girl" and then was shocked when she transformed and attacked me xD Being the 90s and me being a kid i couldnt stop thinking of way to "save" her or something being that thats usually what you did in other games lol Weird no magazine or site made rumors about some convoluted way to "save her and have her help you to get the good ending" where you had to kill certain mosnter 666 times and do a flip or something XD

    Never played this one. Game looks really meh and has some bizarre sound design. I was under the impression that it was a straight port of the original with updated graphics but it's an entirely new game. It looks like a concept design of Super Castlevania IV, which would make a bit of sense since the Sharp X68000 came out a few years before the SNES but this game originally came out two years after SCIV, at the very end of the X68000's lifetime. In the game's defense, sound quality of the PSX port seems to have been lowered from the original version; that or it's an emulation problem.

    Man... I know it's one of the early castlevania games but this just looks soooo boring.. The only good castlevania games are aria of sorrow and dawn of sorrow bc they broke up the monotony of the games.. I'd play the first super mario any day, but never would i play the first castlevania, rather pull up a deck of cards..
