If you were like me and was sheltered from ‘cultic’ video games as a child, then here’s a synopsis of Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest – from The Castlevania Dungeon:

It’s been a few years since the original Castlevania, and instead of reveling in the spoils of his victory against Dracula, Simon Belmont has fallen ill underneath Dracula’s curse. The only way to save himself is by adventuring through the countryside to find Dracula’s body parts – which have been mysteriously scattered all about – and burn them.

Well, if the plot of the game doesn’t scare you, then playing this game at night – alone, will do it for you. Along with that frickin’ face that cries blood. Speaking of crying blood…

One of the best songs on Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, is “Bloody Tears”. It has been remixed to hell and back, but nothing – and I mean nothing – trumps the original.
