You know, I had heard that it wasn't actually Konami who made this game, so I went and searched for info on it. I guess they used to be part of Konami, and eventually split off and made this awesome game! http://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/rev-cv4.htm

I got it for almost nothing on Ebay on a whim, but I'm not sure if I've even played it... Maybe once, just to try it out... -- Derek

If you're not sure that you played it, then you should. It is definately one of the great CastleVania games. I love the way you swing with your whip. It has great game controls, and the graphics rule!

Somebody likes whips here, eh? :wink: 8)
I played the game once on a worn out controller in a store... couldn't get so far. And it's true, the graphics are very good, I liked those.

The graphics are cool, and the game is pretty decent, for Castlevania... I just can't play platformers for too long, personally... -- Derek

Quote:Actually, while the 8-directional whip is nice, it tends to make things a little too easy. I don't mind when it's a bit easier. :) It's just a means of realism. It was unrealistic in the first Castlevania games that you can't whip upwards...

Of course for a normal mortal man like me it might be difficult, but those video game heroes are always quite strong guys. :wink: (Don't they have leather whips, too?)

It's been awhile, but I remember the Phantom Dancers were pretty neat. I also seem to remember a bat or something in a room full of gold. Maybe the bat was made of gold, too. I can't remember...

What's wrong about whips and chains? :wink:

Back to the topic:
The bosses really look nice in that game.

To Roth: Yeah, Treasure was a subsidary of Konami and they made basically all trhe classics we know and love (Contra, Super C, Castlevania). Anyways, around '95 they quit and combined with another companmy and became Treasure. Their more famous for their Contra-clone, Gunstar heroes for the Sega Genesis in fact... Contra 3 for SNES feels a lot like Gunstar Heroes. But nowadays they make the Wario games for Nintendo.

I LOVE Gunstar Heroes, I'm not so much a Contra fan, but Gunstar Heroes pwns all! Treasure made that, Ikaruga, they seem incapable of putting out something that doesn't pwn all.

I can't remember... yess the bat was gold and yes this is a Castlevania game just treasure broke off after ward (what i read about). I love every thing about this game EXCEPT that one level where the disc of death(razor) is on the bottom of the screen and u have to jump on broken stair to the top for like ever! i died there like a bajillion(yes a bajillion) times i just hated how awesome that part was. and hard

Actually, I just finished it on emulator just then. Awesome game. Why can't Konami make good games like this anymore? Now all the vampire hunters look like girls and their all RPG-ish.

I really enjoyed Super Castlevania IV. The 8 whip direciton was a really nice add on. One of my favorites personally.
