Although many critics of Castlevania: Dracula X complained that PC version of the game was better, for most young people, this was the coolest and most fast-paced version of the Castlevania franchise yet. But for kids, the difference between a 1993 computer game, and 1995 SNES game, is a very big gap. Looking back, Castlevania: Dracula X was not the greatest Castlevania game of all time, but, for a brief time, before Symphony of the Night amped-up the graphics and game play in 1997, this was the most mainstream Castlevania game for the vast majority of people. For many kids, stuck with their SNES, Castlevania was the best you could do in this franchise. Castlevania: Dracula X is available to play on various emulator sites including RetroGames.
