I picked up a near-mint dreamcast with controller and VMU for 9 bucks at a good will near me once. :)Quote:

I'm speaking mainly of the first one. I thought it was only difficult because of how bad the controls are. You can't react quickly.Quote:

I'm fairly certain it's unlimited. I definitely ran out of lives more than five times during the fourth and fifth levels.
^Same here. I keep asking that question, because I seem to keep playing on and on, and the continues just never end. I dig that. I wish such was the case with Bloodlines, though. :?
I think I'm going to get Super Castlevania IV now.

How did the three free games offer not be more successful? it sounds like a pretty good deal to me!:?
The three free deal was a resounding success in comparison to previous Saturn promotions. It just didn't push the Saturn past the PS1 in sales for long, if at all. If Sega wasn't letting Bernie Stolar call the shots at that point promotions like this one could have kept sales respectable through 1998 no problem. Just look at what Sony did with the PS3, it has never been the top seller.
Everyone seems to think that game is as good as side-scrolling CV gets. I, however, think its only "good."Quote:
