Castlevania 1CC
6Here's the backstory behind this run. My friend Marty had me play the Amiga version of Castlevania as a joke to see how bad of a port it was. The controls and everything else were so broken that I got a game over early in Stage 2, and for some unholy reason, if you continue after getting a game over the game puts you in a completely unwinnable state by putting 25 seconds on the clock.
If you've ever seen a smug British YouTuber try to tell you about "ultra rare Castlevania games you never knew existed," that's what he was talking about: a handful of completely fucked up, borderline unplayable, garbage ports of Castlevania 1, where the music isn't even transcribed correctly.
It was so bad that I needed to play the NES version as a palette cleanser. I played well through the first five stages and almost cleared it deathless, but couldn't remember how to beat Dracula and ended up losing the 1cc. Realizing how close to it I was, though, I took the time to learn the fight and redo the run over the next few days.
Honestly, there were runs leading up to this that were more interesting. In a run that ended up failing, I lost the holy water on the way to The Creature and had to fight him without. After a couple of pretty crazy fights, I ended up on top. It would have been more interesting if that had been the 1CC instead of this one where everything went to plan and I just skipped The Creature with multi-shot Holy Water, but, oh well.
