So I guess... "CASTLEVANIA: Dracula's Devil Castle"

Still feel weird because of the repitition. "CASTLEVANIA: Dracula's Devil Castle" ... it had same word in the beginning and the end.

True, but "Dracula's Devil Castlevania" seems a bit off to me.

Suddenly finding a good title is become a hassle. Hasslevania.

Well, now you got me thinking of David Hasselhoff as Dracula.

Don’t hassle the Hoff. He's still waiting a call for a cameo in the new Knight Rider Movie.

I didn't know there was going to be a new Knight Rider movie. But yeah, what's KR without him?

Just like Baywatch movie without him then back then in 2017. Oh wait, he still got a cameo there as a fisherman.

The gothic trailer showed two guns that, according to Arcade Heroes, were also used in the 2022 coin-op VR Agent, a collaboration between Sega and 3MindWave. The site also says it has confirmed the game will use VR tech.

Arcade Heroes did some more digging and found that Sega Amusements’ official website has a page for House of the Dead Reawakened. The site also notes that Attractions Magazine has referenced the game's title and stated that it will be running on ...

I think when it comes to remakes of old movies, lots of fans appreciate cameos from the originals, but I also believe there should be a nack for how it's done.

For example, I think the 2026 "Masters of the Universe" did their cameo to the 1987 film of same name rather cleverly.

That was indeed good. I was kinda disappointed when Dolph Lundgren never appeared as cameo in any Punisher movies / series.

Maybe the studios didn't ask him. The fact you wish he cameod goes to show good cameos are welcomed.

Yeah, not just in the movies, but in the game too.
Like Ryo Hazuki's cameo in Shinobi: AoV.
The cameo feels fit since it's just him doing his forklift job on a busy market.
It would be weird if the cameo's showing him dancing on the street or doing skateboard.

[Mystic Monkey]

I wonder if you can help me with something. I'm trying to pick out an emulator for modern arcade games so that I can play this.

Apparently TeknoParrot is recommended, but I found two websites and I don't know which is the legit one.
https://teknoparrot.com/en/
https://teknoparrot.com/wiki/index.html
It seem to be the same URL address, but the sites look so drastically different, I dunno which ones which.

Unless there is an arcade emulator you'd recommend.

Yes! It's subtle, it's clever, it's a really good cameo!

Both are from same creator but for you I think you could use the first one since you're already familiar with PC.
The second one operates as a functionally separate interface providing step-by-step installation instructions, hardware guides, and troubleshooting documentation.
