I remember Castlevania being super popular when I was a kid. Everyone I knew had it. I never really got into it, though. The only Castlevania game I liked was Kid Dracula.
My friend rented Castlevania 2 back in the day and beat it! I remember because I saw the ending with him. I didn't really play it much, but I had fun watching him play it.
When I did play Castlevania 2 many years later by myself, I didn't like how many opportunities enemies had to knock you into insta-death pits. No thanks.
