what does everyone miss about the old days of gaming?

[Drageuth]

I remember hating them also in the previous 3 Castlevania games, especially in the NES Castlevania. I don't know why, but they always appears to hit me where the pitfall is, until now. But I finished it 3 times already and I'm pretty darn proud on it.

I find that, depending on my character, I either get really good at dodging them or hitting them, or I completely forget they are there, flail around like an idiot, and get buttfucked. The main reason it took me so long to beat Castlevania III was because I kept forgetting where they would come out in one of the later levels, and they would destroy most of my health right before getting to the boss.
