I liked Simon's Quest. Yeah, it was CONFUSING AS HELL. But the obscurity of it was charming. It's also worth pointing out that I really like Zelda II.

Oh, it's a good adventure mind, one of the classics of the NES no doubt. As well as an admirable attempt to put more story in the game than the original.
But the insane amount of confusion* that you go through takes away from the game IMO. It strikes me, as Lament of Innocence does, of just wanting to force you to buy a walkthrough while pretending to be non-linear.**
The game gets a lot of flack since it was the AVGN's first review and everything of course, but overall it's at least "ok" IMO. Far from the worst in the series- which would be "Castlevania Adventure" (if one can't count the first arcade game), since that piece of crap is just BROKEN.


*It's worth pointing out however some of the common nerd-inspired complaints like "How would I know what to do with an Oak Stake?" are clearly explained in the game manual.

**Though in "Lament"'s case take out all of the endearing classic moments and replace them with the same boredom and monotony. The memory card file says it all with "Castlevania: L.O.I"


And in the end really, what would Castlevania be without "Bloody Tears"?

Btw, i have not played any Castlevania game seriously, but the soundtrack of the nes and snes games are awesome, specially Vampire Hunter and Bloody tears, actually trying to play the second one in guitar
