Super Castlevania IV is another one of those games with an absolutely fantastic atmosphere, in this case one that drips gothic. I can't think of any other game where you can hear church organs and double basses play a baroque form of jazz, or where chandeliers, ghost butlers, the Brides of Dracula, flying coffins, and phantasms all want you dead in the same level. Out of Castlevania games, this is still my favorite. The punishing difficulty is not a minus, but a constant motivator to keep trying.
