Story:A century of Transylvanian tranquility is about to come to a shocking end. Once again the mortifying screams of helpless villagers shake the ground as they huddle against new nightmarish horrors unleashed by the Duke of Darkness, Count Dracula. And this time he has a tombstone with your name on it, Simon Belmont.
You must descend into Castle of the Undead and its gruesome ground, accompanied by the most chilling sound effects to ever tingle your spine. Inside, a freshly dug 11 levels maze features the treacherous Terrace of Terror, the dangerous Rotating Dungeon, the Sunken Ruins of Lost Spirits, torture chambers and creature filled caves. Use your whip like a grappling hook and swing past hundreds of traps and a host of ghost freaks, living corpses and hidden goblins. All while dodging or destroying the unpredictable spitting lizards, carnivorous coffins, and more.
Find the concealed weapons needed to defeat everything from eerie phantoms to haunted furniture. Then prepare to find yourself face-to-thing with hideous torments like the Tongue Lasher, the Darkest Knight, the Bone-Afide Horseman and the Granite Crusher. When your nerves get shot, use your password and take a breather. But forge on, Simon Belmont, because if you though Dracula was down for the count, he's only just begun to fright!Show more

Some could say a bit overrated which I'll agree with. Not the greatest Castlevania game ever. Sure you can whip in more directions than any of the other classic Castlevania games. The difficulty is notably tone down maybe a little too much for my take. The game can be a little on the long side as well. Some of the bosses' appearances like The Creature I wasn't a fan of. This still the best SNES Castlevania game. In terms of the art style it's among the best classic Castlevania games. The audio as a whole amazing stuff. There's some impressive animations as well. Despite being an remake of Castlevania 1. Possibly the best Castlevania 1 experience imaginable. Super Castlevania IV still has a time limit. Not much of an issue until late into the game. I personally preferred Castlevania: Bloodlines. I would say this is the best Simon Belmont experience ever!!! To me it felt like Castlevania 1 Easy mode almost the entire time. I played this through Castlevania Anniversary Collection. It's worth checking out if you're an Castlevania fan. In all honestly just wasn't crazy for this Castlevania game. I would consider replaying the game to a degree that's it.

InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed MaskInuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask is based on an anime series of the same name. You can play either as a teenager boy or a teenager girl, named by the player. The two scenarios are very similar and basically follow the same story: you live in modern-day Tokyo and one day discover a strange symbol in an old storehouse. As a result, you are transported to medieval Japan. You encounter the half-demon Inuyasha, who introduces you to Kagome Higurashi, the heroine of the anime series. Together you embark on a journey to retrieve scattered pieces of the Sacred Jewel and to find a way to get back home.
This is a fairly traditional Japanese-style RPG with random encounters and turn-based combat viewed from over-the-shoulder perspective. You can attack physically, use special techniques, and power up to combo attacks with multiple characters.Action Fantasy
