Castlevania has a long and storied history in video game history as one of the best franchises around, going from the 8 bit Nintendo Entertainment System to modern consoles. I mean Symphony of the Night? 10/10 Game...but Haunted Castle? The arcade Castlevania game? WOW IS IT JANKY!

So we decided to extend this playlist from 10 games to does it even matter what the count is anymore? lol it's a lot! But doesn't retro gaming deserve it?

Hello and welcome to "The Unported Playlist" - JANKTOBERFEST EDITION

On this episode of Unported Playlist we are taking a look Haunted Castle! Konami released this Castlevania horror onto the masses in 1988 and things have never been the same! Poor Simon Belmont!

Haunted Castle is just a complete impossible task of a video game that definitely feels like an unfinished video game and it has one of the steepest learning curves I have ever seen. If I had to compile a list of Castlevania games from best to worst...well I am sure you could guess where Haunted Castle would sit...right near Rondo of Blood lolol (no....no it would not)

Super Castlevania IV this is not! Nor is it Castlevania, Simon's Quest or Dracula's Curse! Although Dracula does seem CURSED to have appeared in this game!

I played this via MAME emulation as I will never spend the money to own an original arcade PCB! Emulators for the win! An arcade hidden gem and retro gaming hidden gem this is NOT!
