The History of Castlevania
(As told by Lisker)

First, there was a world of gamers.........who were lost and confused.........who..................alright this intro sucks. The truth is, Konami was a game company..................they wanted MONEY, like all people do..............So they made games................for example,

Haunted Castle:This was the cornerstone. The graphics were okay, the music was okay, the fun factor was okay........yet gamers still jumped out of windows after their first visit to the arcade. Due to this game's popularity, two games were released

Castlevania:This was for a Japanese computer. Chances are you don't have it, so I see no point in informing you about this game. Moving on........

Castlevania:This was for nintendo. It was a very challenging game, though not as difficult as it's prequel. This game became IMMENSELY popular........though it held ONE SECRET......what happens when you beat the game on hard mode? Several lives were lost in an attempt to discover the truth, until one person by the name of ELMO beat it......and discovered the game just took you back to the title screen......people weren't happy, especially the families of people who had died trying to find the truth. Riots initiated, until a sequel was released......

Castlevania 2:This game was different in the sense that it was more explorative........gamers didn't like change.....they prefered to play the same dull repetitive thing over and over....so fights broke out.......and more riots..........then once the fights and riots got old, people actually PLAYED the game........and they liked it.......so they released

Castlevania 3:This was considered one of the best of the castlevania series.......because you could play as three other players........gamers have always been fascinated by playing more than one sprite in the same game.........which probably lead to it's success.........and Konami thus created a game boy Castlevania game

Castlevania Adventure:PEOPLE HATED THIS GAME. That's all there is to it. It was too slow, the graphics were crappy, and it was too "challenging"(Babies)......Poor Chris......having to take that kind of criticism.....later, a leap was made to the Super NES by

Super Castlevania 4:When this game came out, it immediately attracted gamers, who were mesmerized by it's beautiful graphics.....though what REALLY made it a hit was the introduction of a now well-known and still very popular character:Slogra! Whenever Slogra would walk by, a person would say "It's THE MAN!!!", and Slogra would be like, "Whassup, B!tch?", and they'd be like "Not much, sir....." and Slogra was all, "Thass right, B!tch, now go make me a sandwich!"......and they'd go make him a sandwich....THAT, or they'd be impaled by that cute little spear he always carries ^_^...Anyway, due to the U.S. popularity of the Sega Genesis, Konami released

Castlevania Bloodlines:This is the most overlooked game in the Castlevania series. The only ones to play this game were
1)Die-hard Sega fans
2)True Castlevania fans (Me ^_^)
3)People who just have good taste in games(Me again)
.....Which is ironic, because this game was a true classic. You know, I must have beaten this game a million times on hard mode with either character alone. In fact, I've even.....never mind, I won't get into that again...well, despite the failure we call Castlevania Adventure, Konami released another Castlevania game for game boy and gave Christopher another chance in

Castlevania II:This was an improvement among hand-held games. It was difficult to some gamers, yet still fun, and offered a Megaman-like kind of gameplay (You choose what level to play ^_^)......CLEARLY, this is where Christopher's fame started.......after this game, Konami released

Castlevania Rondo of Blood:Never played this game, but heard it was popular........though it was for some kind of computer, so let's just continue to it's less successful remake.......

Castlevania X:This game was considered GOOD, but not GREAT by gamers who had been spoiled by all their Super 4s and Rondo of Bloods......this game was GOOD ^_^ .....let's leave it at that......

Castlevania Symphony of the Night:This is undoubtably the most critically-acclaimed of all Castlevania games (In fact, it's message board is the only place where you'll find Yingirl), due most likely to two features, 1)Exploration-A Metroid-like style of play offered gamers a very enjoyable adventure and allowed them to take more then one path 2)Secrets-This game is packed with it. TONS of them, which led to a hugeamount of replay value

Castlevania Legends:This game attracted either gender of gamers because:
Many fanboys (Not ME........not that I'm gay or anything, I just have........DIGNITY is a suiting word) reacted by drooling all over pictures of her and discussing naughty stuff about her on chat rooms (Wonder what was running through CV Otaku's mind when he wrote that bio on her. Flaming bra? The HELL?) (Webmaster's Note: What I was thinking? "Man, this Womyn's lib stuff will make a great joke.
Female gamers liked how there was another heroine who wasn't a whore like Tifa (Final Fantasy 7) and Morrigan. (Darkstalkers)
As for the actual game, some people thought it was fun, while others found it to be "bland". Then Konami released a very controversial game(no, that was the next one) for the Nintendo 64

Castlevania 64:This game was 3-D (Believe me, it took me forever to realize that) It had several new ways of tacking on the same old situations, though the gamers (who like repetitive $h!t) were offended by this strange "3-D aspect, and thus alienated the game(after more rioting and protest again) until Konami made

Castlevania Legacy of Darkness:This game was believed to be a remake of Castlevania 64 in the eyes of many gamers, but was in fact a great improvement and in many ways a new game altogether..........but the gamers wouldn't have it..........
Riots, protests.......pure CHAOS in the streets....... "Why did you release Castlevania 64, then?" shouted one enraged fanboy, months before being taken out by the Japanese mafia........the others were soon eliminated by Konami's extermination squad(who were dressed up as mascots from their games, strangely enough. No one tends to take a man in a cute little Dracula costume seriously)......what is the truth of this game? Was what Konami did with Castlevania 64 JUST? A question which shall never be answered....................ANYWAY, (A knight with a GUN? Is that POSSIBLE??? Forget Excalibur, Arthur should be carrying around a Magnum!) Konami is currently making

Castlevania Resurrection:This game may or may not be coming out, but it's another 3-D Castlevania game(and you thought they were through) which is featuring Victor, a self-proclaimed tough guy.......if the game doesn't come out, this guy's damned for eternity.
I know there are other games coming out and games that never had translated titles, but HELL, I'm not doing this for research. You think I'm getting PAID for this? That I'll be able to PROFIT from my findings? HELL NO!!! Screw it, I'm outta here
