Quarter of a century? It can't have been that long since the original...oh....oh no...

Then you won't be horrified at all to learn the original Castlevania was released on NES in 1987, right?

No that's the point I'm making. When I read the headline I was horrified that it's been that long since the original and they're not even talking about that.

Time is a son of a bitch.

NES releases don't bother me because I was still a kid when I played them. Things released twenty years ago bother me because it seems like yesterday given that I was already an adult with an established career and a mortgage.

That's fine until you tell me that's almost 40 years ago!

That's what it said in the title, a quarter century ago.
