#13 - Castlevania & Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

from Arcade Bookshop · host arcadebookshop

In Episode 13 of Arcade Bookshop, Bryce and Caleb talk about the practicality and ethics of save states, especially as adults with full-time jobs, and how Bryce feels too guilty using them because he's a video game purist. In the core of the show, the guys talk about how short these games really are if you're good at it, and how remarkable that is since even these little cartridges were pricey back in the day. They touch on Dracula, some details on the games' developers, the bad translation in Simon's Quest, and ideas of what future Castlevania games should be like. Play and read along with the guys!
