Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Dark, serious atmosphere

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.

Haunted Castle

Dark, serious atmosphere

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast-paced 16-bit ninja platformer built on precise jumping, shuriken and sword combat, with varied stages like horseback and surfboard rides. Tight controls and tough boss fights make it a genre classic.

They Bleed Pixels

Dark, serious atmosphere

A brutally tough action platformer with a Lovecraftian horror vibe, blending precise jumping with fluid combo-based combat. Kicking enemies into saws and spikes is the hook, wrapped in a distinctive pixel-and-ink look.
