Just wanted to say Kudos for putting Super Castlevanie IV as no1! I agree the soundtrack on that game is stunning! First truly orchestral game OST IMO.

Other game I really love for music in the CastleVania series above what you've listed, would be the PC-Engine SuperCD version of Rondo of Blood.

Thanks! And sorry for taking so long to reply, since I'm an old fella and have to work a lot lol. Nice to find people who agree with me on this. There are not many around.

As for first properly orchestrated game, I believe Actraiser was released earlier. Man, that was some time to be alive!

Last but not least, I really need to find me some way to play Rondo.

 

Super Castlevania IV was a launch title at least in Europe I think. But yes, act raiser was also amazing! I really lived the town building sections.

 

As for rondo of blood. If you want to go down the legal route, probably the psp remaster is the best way.
