Bram Stoker's Dracula

38K plays 1993 #Action

Bram Stoker's Dracula is a 1993 video game released for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super NES, Master System, Sega CD, Game Gear, MS-DOS, and Amiga. It is based on the 1992 film of the same name, which in turn is based on the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. Most versions are platform games, while the Sega CD and Amiga releases are beat 'em ups, and the MS-DOS version is a first-person shooter. A separate version for the Game Boy was released in 1993, followed by an Amiga version in 1994 for North America and Europe. A CD-ROM version for MS-DOS compatible operating systems was released in 1995.

What the critics said

  • Computer Gaming World stated of the DOS version, "It appears that Psygnosis spent most of their Dracula budget on acquiring the movie license, leaving little for game development and packaging. The game play is uninspired and repetitious".
