Symphony of the Night
Dear Goblins,
It has been a few years since I last saw this game and I know you took it. It vanished from the rest of the games, but you left the memory cards. So, I assume you aren’t playing the game or you have your own cards. The truth is, I want this game back.
Yom Kippur is the Jewish day of fasting and I survive by playing a video game for the entire day. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was my go to game for years before you stole it. I’ve made it with Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Lego Star Wars, and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Don’t get me wrong. I love the Zelda series and will beat Ocarina of Time from last year and play the original if need be. It’s just that these games take longer than a day and steal me away from everything until I either beat them or chaos ensues. I did try with Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, but I can’t get over Leon Belmont’s Farrah Fawcett haircut any more. I’d use God of War, but the toddler walked in last time I played that game and I got in trouble.
Look, goblins. I want my game back since it took me a long time to get it in the first place. SOTN runs $86 on Amazon because it’s old and still beloved. Just tell me where you put it because I’ve torn this room apart looking for it. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Charles
P.S.- Don’t be dicks and refuse.

I thought THEY only lived with me in my Semi-truck. Mine love pens and socks…Try Metroid

Love Metroid, but I don’t own it. Only reason I have the original Zelda is because I bought the Collectors Pack for the GameCube. Maybe I should just sleep through the day.

Playing video games on Yom Kippur. Okay, I guess that’s not any stranger than my tradition of “The Abominable Dr. Phibes” at Pesach (for the plagues of Egypt references) or “300” on Purim (it’s the prequel to the Book of Esther).
I really wanted to find you an 8-bit version of Kol Nidre, but I couldn’t. I’ll have to see if I can get someone to make one for you.

Thanks. It’s all about distracting from the hunger. Though playing a game where health items are food might not be smart.

I’ve never had a problem with fasting, myself, maybe because I spent so much time being hungry growing up. If I don’t have food around me, I just don’t think about it. But I can see the point in having something else to think about.

It helps because I’m the only one in the house who fasts. Wife isn’t Jewish and parents have health issues. So I’m the lone faster. Never fun.

I hate goblins that don’t put things back after using! So, so rude! I suggest rolling the room with duct tape to catch this thieving goblin. I hope you find the game or catch the goblin by mid September.

Been looking for the game for the last 3 years. No idea where it could have gone too.

The same Goblins took my God Of War copy! I always put it back in the case when I am done, and it is the only game I cannot find. The case is empty and sitting on the shelf. I know it was a good game, but you would think the Goblins could get their own copy.

Especially since it’s still relatively cheap. Still can’t believe $86 for Symphony of the Night.

My Dad sold all of my old 8 bit Nintendo games at a rummage sale a few years back, for $2 a piece. $2! I had almost 200 titles. Some of them worth a heck of a lot more than $2. Ugh.
People are realizing that the older games, while graphically and sound inferior, are more fun and better to play. Thus the price goes way up.

I know. It’s kind of annoying when one grew up with them and remembers their original price.
