Ieyasu's CastleVania Clone game- Starring a freakin' town meeting of CastleVania characters and possibly every CastleVania MIDI in existence, all in 50, sometimes insurmountable, stages. Novice CV players needn't apply. One of the best parts about it: you play as Trevor! By Ieyasu. The latest versions can be found at his Japanese site.

Let me ride- A 50 second, 546kb WAV sound clip of the last chorus of the Summer 2000 JAM, "Let me ride", from Dr. Dre's first album, The Chronic. This has ZERO to do with CastleVania, BUT it goes very well with Mike Erickson's CastleVania III Dracula's Curse THE CAR!!!
The lyrics are:
Dr. Dre: Yo, but I ain't trippin I'm just kickin' it. While my deeze keep spinnin' and these hoes keep grinnin' I be-
Snoop Dogg: Rollin' in my six-fo'...
Dr. Dre: With ev'rybody sayin...
Chorus (w/ Old Dude overlapping): (Swing down) Swing down, sweet chariot, stop (I wanna ride), and let me ride!
Dr. Dre: Hell yeah...
Chorus (w/ Old Dude overlapping): (Swing down) Swing down, sweet chariot, stop (I wanna ride) and let me ride!

Super CastleVania IV Screensaver- Here's a really cool screensaver by Luke Jones. He didn't make the Slide Saver program included, but he did play through Super CastleVania IV on ZSNES to get its action-packed scenes!

Death Bat- You've gotta love the terribly easy Death Bat in The CastleVania Adventure. Fear his powerful wrath and his astounding attack squeals in this 205kb, 18.4 second WAV sound clip!

The CastleVania Adventure: Dracula II- I lay the serious beatdowns on Dracula's Giant Vampire Bat form at the end of The CastleVania Adventure. Had I the Flame Whip, he and his spat bats would be gone in about 7 seconds. Listen close for the 'OW', usually made by the humanoid Prime Evils (Gobanz, Death Bat, Humanoid Dracula) in The Adventure. 268kb, 24.6 second WAV sound clip. I know Kurt's infinitely LOVING this one.

CastleVania ZZT- In case you didn't notice, The Dungeon has had this little CastleVania III-themed game program since 1997. That's like, a whole era ago, like the Quaternary. Last century. The late 1900's. Anyway, in this game, you are Trevor Belmont's happy head, and as such are charged with the utter annihiliation of Dracula's Bloodily-Black Pageant of Evil...or is that my imaginary version... Anyway, it's worth a shot, though I keep getting my happy head killed before I enter the Castle, so, GOOD LUCK. Maybe someone will make a site on this one; CVZZTTP?

Death Bat II- Before legislation passes to protect buff, wing'ed Slogras, I once again swat the ovaries out of the Death Bat. I was trying to go for crunch time on this one, but it only seems the only difference between the sister WAVs is this one's lower volume.

[NOTE TO SELF ON OCTOBER 2 OF ACTUAL 2009: UNTIL I REALIZED THAT BLURB TO MERELY BE A SILLY WAY TO EXPLAIN THE FILE STATISTICS, MY MIND WAS DOING A DOUBLE-TAKE. HMM,...WE'RE UP TO SOMETHING LIKE THE 'PENTIUM 6', AREN'T WE...?]

Gobanz- Another rare enemy recipe in the CastleVania bestiary is Gobanz, a hulking armor wielding a painful spearhead as the first Primary Evil in The CastleVania Adventure; and if you've had the game since the summer of 1990, you should be able to dispose of him as quickly as I do (if not sooner!) in this 15 second, 171kb WAV.

CastleVania Rivalries Demo- Here's a CVRPG demo by Dragon God, whose been a fan of DCTP since its antiquity! I've never been able to run it, but maybe you'll have better luck... For more details, including cool screenshots, info about required programs and the lot, check out his project page!

Evangelion X- New-Eva-fan SPOILER ALERT!
The beginning of the second episode on ADV's Neon Genesis Evangelion tape 10 resumes where the previous left off, minus a musical score. During the summer of 1999, I was watching it again when I realized that the Dracula battle theme from Dracula X Rondo (its double-CD a recent hit) might fit what was going on (in spite of the English dubbing). Firing up the stereo, I picked the track and pressed Play; it worked pretty cool, indeed!
Three years and one computer later, through handy-dandy VHS audio capturing setups and the convenience of Adobe Premiere, I stitched them together to this nifty result! Once again, beware of spoiler!

Back in the Game (WTC excerpt)- While strolling through Central Park in the warm months of 2001, I was surprised to hear a Method Man & LameBizkid track that was cleaned up by covering the curses with the blips and buzzes of Defender. In each instance, I was blasted back to 1996 and my computer chair, passively blasting Earthlings in William's Arcade Classics.
During the Premiere WAV-mixing experiments of winter 2002, I decided I'd do the same—with some recent CastleVania III sound effect captures! An excerpt of Ghostface Killah's verse in Wu-Tang Clan's current single, "Back in the Game", was my test subject. There wasn't really too much to clean up, so I just had CVIII stuff happen around his verse. In STEREO! (I'm very, very bothered that the radio version of this track obscures his World Trade Center reference.)

Deutsch Gothic
This is the font used for "Dracula's Curse" on the CastleVania III packaging.
How I finally came across it, in the spring of 2001, is quite a tale: I had recently bought a Plastic Little Drama CD, for cheaper than Chinatown, at Asahiya Bookstores. While sketching to the enjoyable sounds of the episode, my typographic senses tingled; giving the cover a once-over, I soon noticed that the lettering of "Plastic Little" was the same as that of my favorite NES game! I reported it on Groovy-Type Stuff! and immediately set off on a search through numerous font sites. I was raring to create headers patterned after the big, orange lettering on CVIII's label. On April 27th, in the midst of the five-day site blackout, I finally managed to corner it! (I wonder if the discovery had anything to do with saving DCTP...)
When I opened TerribleHands.com in February of 2006, I made it a point to offer up this and other fonts first-thing, for visual compatibility. Interestingly enough, this [Meatloaf/Plastic Little/Ketel One/Dracula's Curse] lettering is all over the promo videos for the upcoming PS3 CV grand slam, Lord of Shadows! Coincidence? ;]

Becker-Medium
I would also come across this variation on the theme, which, with its wider style, I found a bit more legible. I wound up using it in my Humor Me bit, "Bullface says...".

CV3 Dracula's Curse, Dracula's Curse NES, and Dracula's Curse NES (TT)
The great man who CAN, that's right, I'm talking about ANAPAN, was tooling about with font-o-matic software in the summer of 2001 when he suddenly popped up with a font based on the distinctive in-game lettering of CastleVania III: "CV3 Dracula's Curse". (Since the first one is dated August 23rd, I'm wondering if I had requested it of him on Dracula's Curse THE MESSAGE BOARD!!!)
As I had been "G-Building" DCTP after The Virus Incident of 8|9 (I still am), the font was like a godsend; it made it even easier to create new labels for the Navi frame. Before then, I'd run CVIII in an emu, type a section's label in the name entry screen, and hit the screensnap button. Now, it was easy as typing it out in MS Paint.
The next update to the font, "Dracula's Curse NES", loaded with all sorts of neat sprite elements, would be released to DCTMB on my 21st B-Day; sweet timing!
It was definitely a real kick, but I quickly realized that the Photoshop of the time was having trouble noticing the font. To this end, I humbly requested of Anapan a TrueType Font version, which I could manipulate in Photoshop (and the next month, Macromedia Flash); his extended name for "Dracula's Curse NES (TT)" was "CastleVania III Dracula's Curse: THE TRUETYPE FONT!!!"
Thanks a lot, Anapanman! In my book, you'll always be THE MAN who CAN!!!
