It wasn't a Castlevania Collection, unfortunately. It was just the X68000 version and a updated version of that. :(

Whatever. I'm just the messenger, alright?

edit: The vote roster can be a custom list. Seven Force is willing to personalize a copy 'n paste japanese vote list if anyone can think of any titles they'd like to see:

Other comment:
Please include a non-filtered, non-interlaced graphic mode. Include TATE on games that support it in the game center. Fully customizable key layout, please.

I second Gameoverdude's list but your last comment needs a "15-kHz" or "true low-res" phrase in order make sense. Otherwise, they'll understand you want VGA support. "Tate" mode is present on Sonic Wings and others, so I don't think there's need to ask for it.

I give up. Carry on stealing with your emulation. Some people can afford 5 pounds and actually have pleasure in actually paying for things especially as ones money goes to a company that has the talent and creative means to create something that some are a fan of. Don`t understand some poeple, really.

The talent and creative means did go into the game... 20 years ago. The only talent and creative means that goes into crap like this is marketing's ability to squeeze money from idiots such as yourself. I dont think anyone here has a problem paying for games, or even paying for old games, they do have a problem with paying for obvious rip-offs like this.
