    Full playthrough of Castlevania: Bloodlines for Sega Genesis. This playthrough was recorded March 28th, 2017 by Mike Matei. Developed by Konami, Castlevania: Bloodlines is one of my favorite Sega Genesis games. It has an excellent soundtrack composed by Michiru Yamane (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) which gives it an appropriately styled atmosphere.

    I like that when a games on James & Mike Mondays & doesn't get finished, we get a full play through a bit later by mike.

      Ramjet164 Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Mike is awesome, especially when he tortured himself to play Ikari Warriors for us.

      Having a bad memory is cool too. You can watch the same video 6 months later and it's almost completely fresh again. I think it was the years of drinking hard everyday if anyone is interested in achieving this.

      it's a really easy game to grasp but hard to get used to since it's basically early Richter controls without the backflip

  • @alexc98

    One of the best Castlevania's ever, mostly because of the impressive soundtrack made by the great Michiru Yamane, that was actually her first Ost. The beginning of an era, indeed

    Love how in this game the enemies use the environment itself against you. You get the worg breaking the windows and raining broken glass on you, minotaurs ripping off marble columns and smacking you with them, the werewolf grabbing the clock's hands and throwing them like javelins...it's just great if you don't expect it.

  • @kaczan3

    there is a code where whenever you get the fully upgraded weapon it plays music from the classic games
    "Enter the options menu. Set 05 as the BGM (background music) and 073 as the SE (sound effects) selections. Press Start to begin game play. Now once you fully upgrade your whip/ spear alternate tracks will play. These tracks include: Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears"
    But there are more songs, I can't remember which ones off the top of my head though

    Another outstanding game by konami on the genesis is rocket knight adventures. Graphically it is one of the best titles on the system as well as the music and game play. If your talking about video games being an art form rocket knight adventures is a true piece of art! I seriously recommend it if you haven't already played it! It would be great for a James and Mike Monday!
