@Wariofan63: the best experience with a classic Castlevania is playing on a crappy 14" television (better if half broken, with punch needed to make it working) if possible using a standard cable Playing with the small and clean display of a GBA hasn't that cool 80's feeling...
The SNES version of Dracula X is one of the less inspired chapter of the saga, a Konami style lapse. I'd prefer to see first the PcEngine version! (IMHO)
I downloaded this game some days ago. I find it a really nice game, but a little bit frustrating. Ok, I'm not exactly a "pro-gamer", but It's easy to lose lives in platform sections (or falling down from some mobile platforms if you don't perform a jump exactly in that pixel) and so annoying when you have to do again the entire level, starting from the beginning. I'll try hard!
@diablos79 (comment #64): uhm, although the MegaCD version had bigger sprites than the Amiga version, It actually looks so crappy. The Amiga version had much detailed graphics, a good speed feeling and a awesome in-game music (almost better than the cd recorded tracks of the Sega CD). I liked it very much.
This awesome magazine has been published in Italy (in italian language) for several months. For some reasons (maybe due to the low amount of sales), the publishing house has discontinued it. Too bad.

Re: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
I waited a lot for this release. I will get it when I finish Order of Ecclesia.
Ok, now we have to get only Rondo of Blood!

@Adam: the SNES version is much easier!

Can't wait to play it again! Although in this game Alucard isn't so much cool as in SOTN, this is my favourite CV, along with Super Castlevania IV.

I know, it's definitely unlikely, but I'd love to play one more time with Jaguar XJ220 (published by Core Design on Amiga).
