Castlevania II: Simon's Quest No-Death Playthrough (Actual NES Capture)
This is a capture of me playing through Castlevania II: Simon's Quest on the NES. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii or Wii U Virtual Console. This footage was recorded directly from my front-loading NES using a real Castlevania II cartridge.
Simon's Quest was the game that got me into the Castlevania series. It was also one of my favorite games to rent as a kid (along with Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones). I used to rent it from a video store that was across the street from my house in the early '90s.
However, since I didn't have Nintendo Power, I could never get very far in the game. Usually I would just find the Morning Star and maybe one or two mansions. But even so, I still loved the exploration and RPG elements and the overall mysterious tone that the game had. I would always come back for more, wondering what I'd find each time.
In the late '90s I finally bought all three NES Castlevania games from a guy who was selling his used copies to Funcoland (now known as GameStop). By that time I was able to simply look up guides on the internet, so I finally managed to beat this game. The ending was disappointing, but the game was still enjoyable overall. I hope Konami returns to this game's style some day.
I've included time marks below if you would like to use this video as a guide. I got the best ending since I beat the game quickly.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and a composite connection at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the NES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
I'm using an NES Max turbo controller.
