	cirellio 6 Dec 2014 22:31 I'm redoing much of this list, stay tuned ;) Yes that makes it the fourth developer to work on this.
	cirellio 13 Dec 2014 09:37 Okay, all done! Added quite a few fun optional cheevs in here and made all the reach stage achievements into complete stage achievements.
	LoucoJogador 12 Jun 2015 11:46 Where do I download this game?
	cirellio 12 Jun 2015 12:22 Just Google Castlevania Bloodlines ROM, and good luck. We do not host commercial ROMs on this site.
	JonnyRetro 15 Aug 2015 12:44 I love the Solid Snakes pun! :D
	cirellio 15 Aug 2015 14:30 hehe
	Briko 14 Jun 2016 23:16 Japanese version has problems to purchase achievements
	NyKraft 11 Jul 2016 16:42 One of my favorite Castelvania game with Super Castelvania IV, the first on Nes and Arcade version (or Chronicles on PS1 !).
	Riger 27 Jul 2016 06:44 I give up. The game is won...
	Miciso 9 Aug 2016 12:59 dangling corpse glitch... if u lecarde jump into the room it just pops xD
	Bast 19 Dec 2017 05:08 First time playing the game, so far its great
	partTimeNinja 14 Mar 2018 00:35 If you change the number of lives you start with, does that cause the cheevos not to work?
	SCMx 30 Mar 2022 12:46 nice url
	AntonioFNN 1 Aug 2022 05:56 I thought this game would be much easier than other Castlevania games. I was wrong.
	Kingsombra 8 Mar 2023 00:41 truly the sexiest game on this website. ;)
	Frokydafroakie10 22 May 2023 15:53 funny
	DryIce53 8 Jun 2023 02:06 punny mastered,all chevos is green light to play...try find the joke to get the chevos xd
	ShriekViola 7 Jul 2023 00:52 I love games that give you a full multi segmented health bar and decide to make you lose a full third of it from getting hit once anyway.
	IzaNamiZX 19 Jul 2023 02:54 Mastered! Great game. The difficulty was just right; hard set of challenges, but worth the points, and by the end of it you FEEL like a vampire slayer. This set is a bit more manageable than CV3 for the NES, so if you can do that one, you should be able to take on this one.
	thatoneguy1851 18 Sep 2023 13:53 25th master. Again, shadowserg’s youtube videos are very helpful here for the Castlevania related stuff regarding boss battles. Can’t recommend it enough. I had to use level codes on some of these in order to redo challenges until I got them (vgmuseum’s castlevania section is a good place for these, and ign for SCIV’s ones). Expert wasn’t that difficult, but SCIV’s No Death Run was much harder lol.
