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.
It just sounds like you are saying that the original Castlevania came out a quarter of a century ago, which would be 1999.
No I didn't say it originally came out then I said that my first knee-jerk reaction was that it couldn't possibly been that long since the original and then I came to realize it's been so much longer
We get what you meant. And I totally agree with the reaction.
Don't know why that person is having a tough time getting it.
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.
