Growing up in a low income household you took what you got and this game was on sale when I got it as one of my 4 games total. It was greatly underrated.

Skeletons on motorcycles does seem strange, but if you play as carrie, you'll go through an area called the tower of science it's got auto turret guns, conveyor belts, creatures in huge test tubes. A lot of lore/concepts within other titles show that dracula is a man of science/knowledge. His technology and knowledge is far ahead of society. I mean typical cop out kind of thing, but that explains them. I generally don't stop to explain things in comments like a try hard, but my love for the franchise gets me more than a little hyped when people wonder about it.

I remember playing and beating this game. If you buy too many items from the merchant, the merchant becomes a boss that you have to fight before Dracula.

"There's a cozy looking fireplace, so you feel at home while you're being tortured."

The game has some pretty neat alternate scenarios, like if you buy too much from the demon or use too many time change cards. Vincent will go to sleep at the wrong time and you fight him as a vampire. Love this series!

The funny thing about the motorcycle skeleton is that Dawn of Sorrow, the last Castlevania chronologically (it happens in 2036), barely has any modern/futuristic stuff, the developers just know that those things feel out of place in these games, you're still using swords, holy powers and magic.

This is one of my favorite games on the N64

I am watching you beat every N64 game, and I mean all of them, the twist is the next video is randomly selected, so I have no clue what's coming next this is the journey to watching you beat every N64 game.

Shame Thab played as Reinhardt, I think the game is a lot more playable/enjoyable as Carrie with her homing magic attacks.

That nitroglycerin escort challenge reminded me of the flower quest from Hollow Knight. I got wrecked trying to do it until I looked up a strat where you kill all of the enemies BEFORE you carry the flower, and then it was easy as pie.

This dude rules. I took an immediate liking to him.

Renon: Hey I'm a fallen angel of god, I came up from the bowels of the underworld to offer you some roasted meat out of my briefcase. Reinhart: sure, nothing suspicious here.

I loved this game. Beat it multiple times. But first time ever, the rose garden puzzle held me up for forever. I think it gets everyone

Don't care what people say. I love this game.

This is one of those games that has a reputation for being bad and was nice to hear Thab speak somewhat positively about it. I had this game as a kid and the Frankenstein chainsaw dude in the maze really terrified me, I wrote about him in lots of "spooky stories" at School

About the final form... quote: "His sobriquet Dracula (meaning “son of Dracul”) was derived from the Latin draco (“dragon”) after his father's induction into the Order of the Dragon."

Just clued into this guy. I CANNOT WAIT till he plays Ogre Battle 64. One of my all time favorite games on the 64!

One thing I love about N64 era games like these is the aesthetic, I love the fonts used , the occult imagery, the enemies, the music, etc. Games like this, Heretic/Hexen, Shadow Man, Blood, Gauntlet Legends, Powerslave, Quake, Diablo 1& 2, games don't look or feel like this anymore. The closest thing to this in 2022 is mods like Bloom. I miss dark fantasy games of the 90's!

Your videos are the perfect thing to wind down to after a stressful day, they also take me back to much simpler times. You're chill man. I appreciate the content.

Each character gets three unique levels to themselves. Personally, I like all three of Carries unique levels more, but I find her too easy. The (good) ending is also different between the characters and two of the bosses are different too. It's definitely worth playing the game with each character IMO

A comment about the music on this game: since the game's world is "open" (not in the strict modern sense), having a same tune for an area would be kinda redundant and terrible after a while since you use a lot of time going back and forth in the same place until you solve all the puzzles and move into the boss. So, more than the N64 not being capable of good sound (the very intro of this game is proof that is not, or just listen to F-Zero X's OST too), is it more of a choice from the devs. This game is very atmospheric. It might not seem like it now, but back when it came out: it was the first Castlevania to be in 3D, so it had large open areas, you could scout other areas through windows or gratings, some rooms on the inside of the castle made sense (even to the point of being empty), the garden maze is actually a small maze where you're constantly being hounded by enemies, there's a day/night cycle, etc... this game has a lot more going on than people are willing to give credit for. But I'm glad you went around finishing it for this challenge. I'm seeing every video and loving it!

This one's my favorite N64 game. Love every bit of it, even the slowdown when too many enemies spawn Running away from a horde of skeletons all traveling in slow motion is great because it's funny every single time

For the final boss random trivia : the name of the boss is "Nuclear Dragonworm".

That was a pretty graphically impressive n64 game. Good creepy art direction too.

Cannot help but notice the tone in the dudes voice is like he’s being held by his grade 4 teacher, being pulled by his ear to the front of the class to present his half baked attempt of the PowerPoint on the book he didn’t read 🤣🤣

I loved this game as a kid.

The voiceover in this one is fantastic. I feel like Thab's getting more comfortable doing them.

I’ve enjoyed going back and watching all of your installments. This is the first one I’ve noticed your edit profile coming in to talk, I really enjoyed that!

Loving this series man. So nostalgic. And your commentary is honestly hilarious.

I like how beast didn't even care the boss jumps into a pit to raise a platform for us. O was cracking up lol.

I love Castlevania 64, my favorite 3D Castlevania!

one of my favourite castlevania games. i think the lack of soundtrack just added to the atmosphere with certain areas.

Love how you're not shy about making jokes. I personally like it

I really enjoy Thab's sense of humour

The tears were brown. I think maybe even chocolate. Looks like a fun tour of a wealthy mans candy mansion... What could go wrong?

Love this series and how you describe and review these games!

14:05 Didn't expect Thab to say that. Gave me a chuckle

Motorcycles were invented in Germany in 1885. Vampires on Motorcycles a couple country's over makes historical sense to me

Ive always really liked this game. High difficulty and controls are a bit wonky, but the aesthetic was super neat and the game still felt fun I know that a certain group of people get angry when you express fond feelings for the game, but if you enjoyed the game, dont let them bully you into believing you didn't

Two of my favorite games or games I will always remember. Castlevania 64, and body harvest.

Pluto is not a planet. It's smaller than our own moon, and it would melt if it got close to the sun. Not a planet.

Reanimated skeletons exist: ... Motorcycles exist: 👀

Very cool idea for a series! Glad the algorithm blessed u bro

I think Dracula's servants should call OSHA for the hazardous working conditions

Hitting Dracula in his face has been a thing since CV1 on NES.

Oh man, the skipping up the staircase at 18:14 is hysterical.

I remember renting this game for a week and beating it when it came out. I had to fight the salesmen as a mini boss at the end because I bought too many items from his shop.

I remember renting that for a weekend. It was the moment I learned that its not worth forcing myself to play a game in order to 'get my moneys worth' lol

Very frustrating to me that he didn't really use his sword. It's really good for enemies that get up on you like bats.

I have only play the 3 nes castlevanias and this and I kinda like this one aswell. It was a well enough attempt to port the 2d castlevania to 3d but I think they stick to much to the formula and didn't notice some stuff don't translate very well, but still it was very enjoyble for me and also I like the lack of music and ambience it gives a very spooky vibe for the time

Not going to lie, this game looks really good.

this series is great, man

“Skeletons on motorcycles?!” - AVGN

Have a lots of other stages with Carrie and other endings, this game is such more bigger.

Thab is asking the truly important questions in this video. So often, we hear about scientists questioning just what Pluto is, but how come no one is ever asking HOW Pluto is? Truly, our indifference is the height of cruelty.

I literally lol'd at the RIP OXDUDE scene.

Another one I never saw the end of, thanks again! Lol

just now finding this series and your channel. you have a new viewer. =)

This game is kind of the definition of “It’s N64, so it’s required to be 3D”

Man, I forgot about this game. played the heck out of it back in the day

Beating every 64 game? Nice! Good luck! Can't wait until you get to the other Castlevania 64 game, where you play as the werewolf!

Remember loving this game back then...even got the other version when it came out. Don't think it is something I would play now though.

KILLER INSTINCT 5:43 , tried to jump an kill homeboy when he was in bat form. Straight vicious gamer right there.

This series is awesome.

Loved this game when it came out Loved the atmosphere

Many comedic moments pepper the commentary 😆

The game was supposedly going to be released in November 1998 the game was ready but they didnt want to go head2head with Zelda so they delayed it to January 99 when Zelda stock was low waiting for new shipments.....it was kinda clever and it worked a bit. This game sold around 650k copies which is pretty good for a 3rd party N64 exclusive.

One of my absolute favorite memories.

skeletons on motorcycles > dracula's castle travels through time

This is definitely the best episode lmao

3:20 "...it brought skeletons on motorcycles with it! Isn't it supposed to be the 19th century??" "It is!" **a rock band appears dressed up as vikings**

I've always felt the same way about Pluto's feelings

This game, such memories from my childhood, absolutely loved this game!

This game was better than it was given credit for. I mean, it’s no SotN but it’s still very much worth playing.

16:00 I laughed out loud XD ''But not you because your attractive'' ahahaha

Don’t forget to call Dracula’s HOA 😂😂😂

I never got the hate that this game got. I loved it as a kid and thought it made a great horror-action game.

If you pick Reinhardt, you fight Dracula. If you choose Carrie, you are getting fuked by Dracula.

You're lucky you get to play this first, instead of Legacy of Darkness. It is the "director's cut" version of it, and there are more things there. Including a new main character with his own story. As a side note, Dracul is Latin for Dragon, so this is ironically the most accurate one.

It would have been awesome if when you saw Rosa smiling at you after defeating Dracula that out of nowhere her face changed into some vampire demonic form and jumped at you. Maybe you have to fight her or maybe she says just kidding and everyone laughs

This series should be called young person plays old games without context.

My younger brother, now a full grown man, is still scarred from that giant skeleton in the beginning.

I'm excited for micro machines 64, I haven't heard of that IP in ages. I have fond memories playing various micro machines games and I've heard the N64 version is pretty decent.

This was great!

This is the best series on KZfaq.

I am ucking loving these videos

Renon mentions an impending global war, so between that and the motorcycles I think that the opening crawl is wrong and the game is actually set in the 1910s.

Love Castlevania, and finally catching up on this challenge. 10/10 would like, comment, and watch more. 👍

One of my favorites on this system.

That business demon is a homage to Jean Reno, glasses and all...

Those graphics were super impressive actually for the time!

14:35 Pluto is not a planet. It was, when the definition for “planet” described objects around this star that we call the sun. But as we learned of exoplanets, saw patterns in orbital behaviors and trajectories, the definition of “planet” was refined. Pluto’s trajectory, size, and much more about it disqualifies it from being a planet. However, the definition for “planet” may change again as we learn more about the cosmos. The thing is, nobody will have to change their idea of “planet.” It’s just something for the scientific community to use in order to know exactly what objects are being discussed.

Haha homeowner’s association. Not only does Drac need better servants to clean the blood off his spikes and guillotines, seems like a waste of blood if you’re a vampire.

Damn I played the shit out of this when I was younger. Love this game.

When you get to Legacy of Darkness; play as Carrie!

The first mass produced motorcycle came out in 1894.

It's funny how a lot of the Snes games were actually more immersive than their N64 counterparts later on.

Only played this one as a blockbuster rental, never made it past the river. It was a scary game as a little kid!

The music in Goldeneye was fantastic.

Jeez dude that ox thing boss fight is some messed up shit. Gotta say that was one of the most unsettling things I've seen on the N64. It's easily overtaken that creepy turok 3 intro where the logo turns into the guts and organs or whatever it was. That always creeped me out even though I played some really messed up and violent games back as far as then.
