Interestingly enough, my memory is somewhat sketchy of what games I actually own on the NES.
For quite some time, I had assumed that I had all three NES Castlevania games. I certainly know this to be true since Simon’s Quest was the first ‘Vania I ever got. Somewhere along the line, it got lost somewhere and I never saw it again. So among the shopping for random NES titles, I made it a point to hunt down Simon’s Quest, even if I had to force myself to get it from eBay.
But as luck would have it, a gaming store in downtown Montreal had a copy of the game in their NES rack. It was a bit pricey for my tastes, but in the end, it was worth. The circle is complete. One less “vital” addition to my collection of vintage games.
