Castlevania Bloodlines (1994) GEN

Huge bosses with dynamic, multi-jointed limbs that move erratically are just one of the many examples of the cutting-edge effects the game had for the time.
Kid Dracula (1990/Japan exclusive) NES
With its laugh-inducing content and world full of gags, this spinoff is unlike anything else in the series. Players take control of Dracula’s son (or so he says…), Kid Dracula, as he goes on a hilarious adventure filled with laughs that also satisfies as a full-fledged action game.
