The game’s install size is so small compared to today’s standards. Feels nostalgic!
Reminds me, I wanted to grab Castlevania: Dominus on Steam, but I missed the sale. Guess I’ll wait for the next one.

You might still find a Steam code for the sale price on G2A.
I remember buying that the day it launched on the Xbox 360 store. Anyone else having issues trying to stream it on Switch using the Xbox One/Series Twitch app? Been broken for years.
It originally came out on PlayStation 1, which had CDs capped at 660MB, so the small size makes sense since the Xbox version is based on that.

Actually, I think the size is more due to the emulation wrapper than the original file size. The PlayStation version was around 450MB, I believe.

Most PS1 CDs were standard 700MB ones, but developers might have only used 660MB due to the system’s quirks. Interesting how those limitations affected ports.

Enough talk! Have at you!
It’s not as cool when there’s a period in the way. Still, sweet game though!
Nice small MB size.
I wonder if they ever fixed that bug where you couldn’t unlock the achievement for beating Dracula without taking damage. I logged it while working QA for a third-party testing service, but it’s Konami, so probably not.
Anyone else miss the days when you could just buy a game, pop it into the console, and play instantly? No downloads, no updates, just gaming.

Totally. Back then, games had to ship in a more polished state since there was no way to patch them later.
It’s likely small because of the max size of the original medium, the CD.

I think CDs could go over 800MB with certain burning software like Nero.
