Castlevania has long been a cult classic game - from it's humble beginnings it has always been the classic tale of the Belmont family trying to destroy the accursed Dracula.

Castlevania was relesed in 1987 for the NES. It was your basic jump and whip game where you killed the baddies and worked your way up the castle to get the to the ultimate bad guy, Dracula.

One of the first breakthrough non-linear games to hit the nes, in Simon's Quest, two years after the defeat of dracula, Simon begins to feel not so good, and realizes that he has been cursed by his nemesis even as he defeated him. He must collect Dracula's body parts and destroy the foul fiend once and for all.

Castlevania three actually occurs chronologically earlier than the first two games. Simon's ancestor, Trevor Belmont seeks to destroy Dracula as well, but meets and saves other playable characters on his way, includeing Grant, Sylpha and Alucard.
