the 3 games you MUST play are, castlevania 3,Rondo of Blood, and Nocturne in the moonlight/Symphony of the night. those 3 game build up to the story of Alucard.

castlevania 3 lets you play as alucard, rondo of blood leads to symphony of the night, whom the belmont of said game is playable (and fightable in alucard's story) but if you play the japanese version, use maria...SHE. IS. BROKEN! and she's a boss in that version too, due to the fact she wants to train alucard. and make sure you have the holy glasses equipped, to save the belmont rather than hurt him (although if ya hit him once it copmpletes the monster log) and BTW make sure if you fight the lesser demon, make sure he summons the mudman, to complete your monster log.... :/ man I got a ton of tips and stuff for ya on nocturne in the moonlight XD
