I know this game doesn't have a very good reputation, but my first impressions were that the game was a competent, if stripped back, approximation of Castlevania. By stage 3, however, it turned in to an absolute horror show (no pun intended). The race against the wall of spikes, hampered by the pixel perfect jumping required and the awful s-l-o-w--d---o----w-----n meant that I felt absolutely no guilt in abusing save states for the first time in the series. The game has about 4 or 5 enemies throughout, and at only four stages long it can be rattled through in an hour (using the aforementioned save states). It's fairly poor, but I hear the second Gameboy game improves things a bit. Hard to recommend this to anyone other than those who bought the Anniversary Collection and want to get their moneys worth! Oh yeah, the bosses are laughably easy, too! The high point of the game for me was the music which isn't bad for a Gameboy game.
