Dear Yeti: Why is the music in Castlevania so good?
Deepest Regards,
The Bar Belle
Well Belle, that's a great question. In fact, I'm asked about this all of the time. I think there are a few answers to explore.
One, as you probably know, the game is based upon entering the castle and killing lots of skeletons, spiders, ghosts and eventually Count Dracula himself. That's a pretty cool concept. With a game that cool, the music has to be cool.
Two, the music is easily recreated using an electric guitar, which is the coolest of all the cool instruments. Watch this YouTube guy do it (he makes it look sooo easy).
Thirds, it's a very unique tune. Ask any Joe Schmoe on the street about the music from Castlevania, and if he's anybody he can easily hum the first few bars. If not, kick him in the balls.
For those of you not familiar with this small piece of NES history, here you go:
Until next time,
The Yeti

The music in Castlevania rules because the game rules. And talking about the fact that the music from Castlevania rules should dominate every drunken conversation. It's only natural.
if we can only convince everyone else of the importance of this conversation
i will not be convinced
