Oh yeah, to me Dracula X and Super Castlevania 4 were a few of the best, whatever anyone says.

I didn't enjoy Dracula X so much cause it seemed sort of rushed. But Super Castlevania 4 was excellent in all respects. [/b][/quote]
There were two versions of Dracula X.
One was Dracula X Rondo Of Blood, released in Japan only, this was the amazing game that everyone was raving about.

The other game was Dracula X, period, released for the SNES, it was a different game, and it was, quite frankly, stupid.

Google up "Home of the Underdogs".

Aye. Played it on a SNES emulator - horrible, starting from the very controls.

[troop18546]

To me the controls were easy, the game graphics - superb and the music... just... just soooooooo Castlevania (GREAT). I've always loved Castlevania. Those were the w4r3z days.

[Blood-Pigggy]

The controls were great on the SNES.
In accordance with the controller.

Yes, I agree with Troop, the music was fine.
It wasn't a bad game, but I didn't understand why they couldn't have just brought the original Dracula X Rondo of Blood over. Despite its quality, Rondo of Blood is several times better than Dracula X.

I've tried playing these on the JNES and Nesticle emulators, and those were playable and even beatable. I've used ZNES and snes95 for castlevania 4, but it's impossible to play with a keyboard. I have also tried it with a logitech dual action rumble pad controller (strongly resembles a PS2 controller), but the feel in the movement just isn't quite there. Does anyone know of a way to hone this or correct it so that it'd feel more like an SNES controller? I really loved playing Castlevania 4 the most, so it'd be nice to do it again.

Logitech dual action rumble pad is very simillar to SNES controller. I own one, and I have no problems to play any of the games.

Only one that I completed are:

Castlevania (NES)
Castlevania 64 (N64)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA)

Fav one is GBA version.

[WildZeppelin]

using either the analog controller or the d pad, the movement -in-air- is what I'm meaning. With the old snes, you could jump and move a decent amount in the air to correct yourself. This is impossible with the emulator as far as I can tell. I mainly notice it in games like super metroid and castlevania.

Have you tried Snes9x?

[GoldenBird]

Rondo of Blood is my holy grail.

Edit: I beat all the GBA Castlevanias, Symphony of the Night and Simon's Quest, but I can't bring myself to finish the other two NES Castlevanias (the controls are awful) and all the CV's for the Snes are pretty cruddy.
