For some, Castlevania really started with the classic Symphony of the Night. Its influence is hard to forget at present too, considering it's one of the tentpole influences on the ongoing Metroidvania craze.
Yet Konami’s franchise had pumped out several games beforehand and this collection pretty much holds the entire pre-Symphony stable.
Most of these titles (especially the early NES ones) are the definition of old-school tough, that will appeal strictly to retro gamers. The true stars of this collection though would be hard to find Kid Dracula and the near-timeless Super Castlevania IV.
