I'm a big fan of Castlevania 3, and in the future will have a lot of info here - reviews, music, a walk through. I also earned passwords to all 118 starts so I'll be posting them here. I also intend to try break the password system and tell you how to make your own password. That'll take some time, obviously.

I've been having trouble with Tripod's servers regarding the .WAV files I wanted to put here. I'll try later.

Well, I did try later, and it looks like it might work. Click here to hear to the famous "Vampire Killer" song, known in the Castlevania 3 sound test as "Deja Vu".

Back to my home page.

OK, I brought the passwords with me today. I'll eventually have them as pictures - I uploaded the cross, whip and heart gifs. I might be too lazy to type them all in today - If, somehow, you've found this site already (I haven't been mentioning the URL to anyone yet) check back later. If you need a specific tip go to the Nostalgia BBS at Nsider (there's a link on my home page) and post the question there. I'll be sure to find it and answer you within 2 days. If you don't want to check back, you'll have to leave your email address.

And it's time for an update! For anyone who comes here and thinks, "118 passwords! You only listed 5, and they're the crappiest 5 around!" I decided to put some passwords out of order, and put down the final passwords on my list - that is, the passwords for Trevor alone, Grant, Syfa and Alucard in the final stage in the second quest. Don't say I never do anything for you. And don't re-post this elsewhere without my permission!

Oh, and I managed to find some passwords that use the name "Help Me" that I earned a long time ago. Using these passwords will let you start out with 10 lives, and the character is Alucard. The also all take place in the second quest.
Here they are:
w - whip, c-cross, h-heart, b-blank
Stage 1
w,w,b,b
b,c,b,c
c,b,w,b
b,b,w,h

For all the following passwords, use the name BB
