Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine) and the New Popeye Game

Why is there a new Popeye game? Why is it like that? Why does it cost TWELVE DOLLARS? We may never know the answer, except that we already do, because it's "money."

Anyway, here's a classic Castlevania game that bridges the gap between the classic stage-based platformers and the later titles that made "Metroidvania" into a term. No, I will not call it Search Action.

If you play this game, do yourself a favor and play as Maria. Girl is OP.
