This is an interesting and well-executed remaster of the Castlevania III soundtrack. The music from Akumajou Densetsu (悪魔城伝説) and CV3 are mixed together, with the goal of getting the best of both worlds. It was created by Kirby Pufocia in December of 2014, and can be downloaded here: https://kirbypufocia.bandcamp.com/album/cviii-no-densetsu-or-whatever I normally don't prefer hardware-inaccurate representations of classic game soundtracks, but this take on the soundtrack does a great job of looking at the pros of each version and trying to implement them. I included the piano display from VirtuaNES of the original Famicom and NES versions, to help visualize some of the differences between the two soundtracks (and how this mix pulls from both of them). 01. 00:00 Prelude 02. 01:42 Epitaph 03. 02:30 Prayer 04. 02:42 Beginning 05. 04:39 BOSS FIGHT 06. 05:47 Stage Clear 07. 05:53 Destiny 08. 06:26 Clockwork 09. 07:55 Mad Forest 10. 09:28 Anxiety 11. 11:39 Rising 12. 13:25 Stream 13. 14:43 Dead Beat 14. 16:16 Nightmare 15. 17:50 Encounter 16. 18:32 Aquarius 17. 20:03 Demon Seed 18. 21:35 Deja Vu (Vampire Killer) 19. 22:38 Riddle 20. 24:07 Pressure 21. 24:45 Overture 22. 26:49 Big Battle 23. 28:09 Bigger Battle 24. 29:26 All Clear! 25. 29:36 Evergreen 26. 30:43 Flashback 27. 31:56 Ooooops! 28. 32:00 Game Over If you'd like to know more about the VRC6, check out our podcast episode on it! https://soundcloud.com/retrogameaudio/the-vrc6
