January 2023 Edition - Nintendo 64 Doom 64

Doom 64 was released as a brand new Doom campaign for the Nintendo 64 Nintendo 64, set after the events of Final Doom. While not extremely successful or lauded upon its release, the game has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years for its difficulty and atmosphere, in part due to a spooky ambient soundtrack from Aubrey Hodges. The game's sleeper status peaked in recent years when Bethesda dropped a remaster of the game in 2020 for modern platforms at a bargain price.
Beat Doom 64 or its remaster to earn a badge.

There's a little less than a week left to defeat some Dracula reincarnations while it's still en vogue. Keep posting your kills in this thread.

Let's start taking nominations for the November Game of the Month. No themes or executive decisions this month. Post the name of a retro game you want to play as a group during the month of November.

When we hit five nominations (or October 29), we'll start voting.

I'm on stage VII of SCIV. It's actually very different than how I remembered it. I only played it once, when I was fairly young, and did manage to beat it. My memory of the game was pretty fuzzy though, there were just specific levels/sections I remembered, and that's it. It's a lot harder than I expected. I was thinking this was one of the easier ones. At least it has unlimited continues, that's nice. It seems heavier on tricky platforming than any of the Castlevania games I've played, often to an annoying degree. I'm really enjoying it overall though.

Are y'all using save states, or are you all just amazing at Castlevania? Some of you are just cranking out game after game. I'm trying to beat these legit, but it's taking me a lot of tries.

No worries, but I used John mainly bc he uses the Vampire Killer whip. I wasn't even aware there were 2 different characters until I dove into it.

I beat the original famicom Castlevania 1

It wasn’t much different. I did beat it way faster though, and I played it
on the normal setting not easy and I’m not playing through hard either.
I’d say it took me just under 2 hours but maybe it was less than that.

You really only need save states around Dracula 🧛‍♂️ maybe before
Frankenstein and the Grim Reaper too but I think I passed the whole
Grim Reaper stage without dying since I had the Holy Water x 3 all the way
through it. That was the only stage I didn’t die on tonight besides the 1st stage though.
It was pretty fun too.

Finished Super Castlevania IV this morning, after spending way too long being pelted by seemingly-unavoidable purple fireballs.

image

Didn't enjoy it as much as I expected it to. It feels a whole lot slower, and the soundtrack didn't make the transition to 16-bit as gracefully as I would have liked. Still a solid game, and I actually like circling the d-pad to swing your whip.

I was going to pick up Castlevania 64 next, but I doubt I'll finish that before Monday, so I'm going to start Castlevania Chronicles instead. I've had that game in my PSN library since the mid-2000s and never played it, and I can't figure out how to do anything productive in the MiSTer X68000 core, so now seems as good a time as any to play it.

I'm enjoying SCIV a lot overall, but I definitely have some gripes about it. It's not holding up quite as well as I'd hoped.

These are the non-3D Castlevania games I still haven't beaten:

Castlevania Chronicles
Castlevania: Dracula X
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

Hopefully I can finish up SCIV in the next day or two and at least start up one of these before the month is over. I've been wanting to finish beating all of the Castlevania games for a while now but kept putting it off for other games, so I'm glad this thread finally got me back into it.

I'm still not really clear on what Harmony of Despair is like. I know it has online multiplayer, but is playing it solo an option?

I'd still recommend playing 64 sometime before the year's end. It'll put hair on your chest, that's for sure.

Are we doing six nominations this month?
That would be pretty cool.

Also I concur about Castlevania 64 being way better than people
will ever give it credit for. Sure I haven’t played it in 20 years
but when I did I loved it and I always enjoyed it more than
more conventionally popular releases like SOTN and Super Castlevania.

Obviously it’s in 3D so if you can’t even with that then it’s not going
to make it any easier with a Castlevania game, which I don’t
Remember it being all that hard but it’s been awhile.
If I had not given my copy to my friend I would have started playing
it already. As it is I did start on the first Gameboy game and for
some reason these games that played fine on Xbox One are
really glitchy on my Series S. The Gameboy game has a ton of slowdown
which makes an unplayable game even less playable. Utter nonsense.

Was just trying to be silly. I'm not sure what post sounded like mocking, but the GIF is the only response I intended to be for the Pokemon suggestion. Sorry, either way.

Generally Speaking™, I've been treating the 360/PS3/DS/PSP generation as the first non-retro consoles. Exceptionally, we've played two DS games - The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Shantae: Risky's Revenge (bonus game for Shantae month) - and allowed modern remakes of retro games (the N-Sane Trilogy version of Crash Bandicoot, Turtles in Time Re-shelled, The Dracula X Chronicles, etc.). There's also the Lords of Shadow discussion we had earlier in the month.

I've said this before, but just to reiterate: I'm less in favor of strict rules and more in favor of anything that makes people want to play along. Historically, that seems to be short (4 hours or less) games that are easily accessible, especially for modern hardware, with no restrictions on things like cheats, save states, walkthroughs, etc. We have nominations and voting to boost the games that more people are interested in, but there's not much correlation between a vote of "5" yielding an actual playthrough, and two of the more "popular" or successful months we've had were this month and Darkstalkers 3 month, where I just said, "Screw it, we're playing X." That could be a badge thing, though, since both months potentially offered dozens of different badges.

But if expanding things to the 360/PS3 era would get more people to play along, I'd be fine with it, "true retro" or otherwise.

I beat Castlevania: Rondo of Blood Nintendo Wii (originally NEC TurboGrafx-16 ).
[imgt]https://i.imgur.com/V6HErt9_d.webp?maxwidth=640&sh...[/imgt]
Game looks and sounds great, with plenty of secrets and strong enemies to keep you on your toes. I found the journey a little too hard with Richter, with stages 4 and 5 being a serious pain. But you gain satisfaction through hardship, and blazing through such frustrating stages as Maria afterward is cathartic. Love the inclusion of her—she really adds some weird quirkiness to the Castlevania universe, with her cute animal companions and modern candy power-ups.

I’d still say Castlevania III or maybe Bloodlines are the best in the series, but this one’s definitely in the top 5.

I just finished Super Castlevania IV less than an hour a go. It was pretty good and the score got to kicking the last few levels.

Castlevania III is my pick for best of the series.

Also, I finished Simons Quest when I was 9 or 10, about 1990. It was grueling. I had a friend that also had it and we shared discoveries and eventually I figured it out.

Probably the last one of the month, but I finished Castlevania Chronicles on PlayStation.

This plays like Rondo of Blood with the 8-bit Castlevanias' sensibilities, or an 8-bit Castlevania with Rondo of Blood's aesthetics. Either way, it was a lot better than I expected and a lot closer to what I was expecting/wanting from Super Castlevania.
