When you are 6 years old, killing Dracula is serious business. Super Castlevania IV was the first game I beat from start to finish without the assistance of passwords or Mom (the mom was a huge Zelda and Mario junkie). At 6, I did NOT have the motor skills or pattern recognition to defeat Dracula as easily as the video above depicts. At the point those little pieces of chicken dropped, I really needed some fucking chicken.

Looking back, its amazing that I managed to beat him at all with my limited skill set. I can remember throwing that indestructible SNES controller as hard as I could for every 10 times Dracula took me down. The newest incarnation of Dracula would have made me commit suicide at a really young age.
