Now THAT, is a tough one Doc. Hmmmmm, I can't rightly say. I've always considered the first as a must mention. I remember the first time I played that game. Seeing Simon power walk up to Drac's gates and look at the looming Demon Castle that lay before him and then BOOM! You're thrusted into combat against endless zombies and Panthers and a giant bat while badass DADA-DA-DAAAAA BUBBA-BABA-BA-BABAAAAAAAA! HOLY SHIT! My tiny brain turned to mush. The sheer sense of wonder I had when played that game was on par with Legend Of Zelda, never seen anything like it.

Then there's Super Castlevania 4, often times considered the best Castlevania game of the early era. The game was so much innovative. Being able to interact with environment and whip in any direction. Made things way easier. In a way though, I was kind of taken back by the lack of difficulty in comparison to the first, but I can't deny how much fun it was.

Then there's the obvious one Symphony Of The Night. A Castlevania game synonymous with gamers. Started a whole new genre of Castlevania all together. A style most ever Castlevania afterwards would follow. Running around as Alucard and using those awesome vampiric powers to discover hidden rooms and new sections of the castle was outstanding. Not to mention my "wonder meter" hit maximum at the very idea that I can freely explore Drac's castle. On top of that, I love looking at the backgrounds as I travel from room to room.

Then there is the very controversial Lords Of Shadow, a game I have an immense "love/hate" relationship with.

I'd have to say.....

1: Symphony Of The Knight 2: Castlvania NES 3: Lords Of Shadow Series (I'm choosing the series as a whole because I hate so many things about it, but I love so much about it too.)
