Dracula X is under rated

It's really fun. I can see how comparing it to Rondo of Blood would bum you out, but it honestly just feels like a different game to me. I love it

I actually like it better. But that's cause I'm an SNES fanboy.

Nice job obtaining Dracula X. That game costs so much these days.
2
It's a little beat up so I got it a little cheaper. But it works fine

The price jump on Dracula X is fucking killing me... sweet collection by the way!

All recently and from one place?
1
Just Bloodlines recently, the rest were over the past year or so

Any advice for safely removing that castlevania 4 price tag would be hot. It's been bugging me

Yeah that's an eye sore.

So YMMV here as it's been a bit since I've done this:
I'm fairly certain that you can use stronger cleaning materials on a SNES cartridge front label without it affecting the label. Goof Off is usually my go to cleaning material for these things, but I believe i may have had used Goo Gone on an SNES label with success. It's just always a good idea to test out a very tiny amount on the cart and see if any of the label comes off with it before going too far.
I haven't always had good luck with this, but you can also try running a hair dryer across the price tag for a minute or so to dry up the glue. This should allow you to peel it off.
Edit: I have to stress the ymmv piece of this post. Quickly looking around Goo Gone should work, but you have to be really careful with where you use it to avoid messing with the label or damaging the plastic.

Interesting. I'll test it out and see how it goes. It really bugs me when people use such crappy labels in stores, so it'd be cool if I could find something that works

I've had good results with goo gone before with labels. Try putting a VERY small amount of goo gone on and let it absorb into the label and see if it loosens up a bit and repeat as needed. Be very patient and use the minimum force needed and maybe get a plastic scraper tool and use gently. Patience is the key here.

Favorite series? It is mine! What are a couple of your favorite entries?
1
4 is my favorite in the series for sure. Possibly my favorite snes game
2
hell yeah, castlevania IV and contra III are my two favorite super nintendo games. my top 3 castlevania games are IV, SotN, and Belmont's Revenge. Never get tired of the others either though, and I'm just now starting Rondo of Blood for the first time.

I see you don't like money...

Did you know people just give you stuff in exchange for tiny pieces of green paper!?

Bloodlines is actually the first Castlevania I ever beat. It holds a special place in my heart.
