Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse

Castlevania III, the biggest of the 8-bit offerings, ranks as one of the best games in the series. This prequel takes place 100 years before the first game, and you play as Simon's forefather, Trevor Belmont. One of the coolest features is assuming the role of one of three characters: Grant, a nimble thief who can climb walls and ceilings; Alucard (Dracula spelled backwards), Dracula's rebellious son who can turn into a bat; and Sypha, a powerful magician with awesome spells.

Castlevania 3 had some of the most stunning graphics of its time, and Dracula's last format the end of the game has to be one of the coolest bosses in Castlevania history!

The third installment of the Castlevania adventure returns Simon to his roots, with a quest that plays more like the original than the RPG-ish sequel Simon's Quest.
