Simon Quest the best

Yeah I’m a Retrovania fan myself. I like SOTN a lot but it’s both a worse Metroidvania than Metroid (and I’ve always disagreed with the genre partly being named after it) and a worse Castlevania than the classic ones.

I learned to speedrun 1 so I am biased with that, 3 and Rondo of Blood are also fantastic
Although at least people in the UK don't just act like videogames are for cretins and shutins

When I had driving lessons I was in a retro phase and was playing the original Castlevania, when my instructor asked what I played and I said that he hit me with “I played that when I was younger, have they not made anymore games?”
I had to resist replying “you’re old enough to remember 2010’s Peace Walker?”
An older businessman at a pub just complimented my MGS t-shirt as very cool and said “I’m old enough to remember that. And that makes me sad.”
They’re the same event. There was a “Husband Calling Contest” inbetween the two.
