Our next project is a beloved classic that gave its name to the now-familiar "Metroidvania" game genre.  As an added twist, this the first game on Old Game Plus that none of the three hosts as played before!

 

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is available:

We will begin our discussion on Feb. 11!  Because we're not familiar with the game, we can't give good guidance on exactly what our stopping point will be, but we will play for a few hours and discuss our experiences.
