This Monty Python-esque LP of the much-maligned Castlevania 64 makes a fine case for the game's poor reputation, but a few of the game's locations struck me as unique for the series - an astronomy observatory, a crystalline tower, a devil's lab of technological research (in which, as the LPer notes, Dracula seems to have invented the radio years before Marconi). Of course, this being Castlevania 64, all these locations are horribly low-res and blocky, which makes me wish all the more that they'd appeared in one of the lavish 2-D treatments. We're always running through the same front hall-underground caverns-that bloody freaking clock tower shenanigans in Metroidvanias, all the typical gothic castle stuff; it'd be nice to see a wider variety of rooms. Zombified Jay Lenos tending Dracula's Haunted Garage? (Well, maybe not.)

Note: While it's undoubtedly the best way to experience Castlevania 64, that LP has endgame spoilers for the game's sparse story ten seconds into the first video, just to give fair warning.
