Dracula in London

DOS - 1988

This is a simplistic but fun board game that needs 6 people to play (you'd think they could come up with a decent computer AI by 1988....) as various characters from Bram Stoker's novel. The object, of course, is to track down the count and put an end to his reign of terror. Players can visit various places to obtain clues, buy hunting equipment, and visit various characters during the day. The inclusion of many abstracts from the original novel is a nice touch.

Note: SDJ later released an enhanced Windows 3.1 version in 1993, which is also on this site. Check it out if you like the original.

i have been playing this game at least once every year since it came out and despite a [redacted] number of playthroughs, it still manages to surprise me. Once, I fully cured Mina of her "?" status and she was able to wield two items. I still have no idea how. One time, Dracula never showed up? I never found any clues (despite trying multiple times every day), never investigated any houses, and when I went to confront Drac at his castle, he wasn't even there. As a friend pointed out: Dracula in London contains a secret subgame: Dracula in London without Dracula.

This was one of the lesser known and not that good games that I had on my first PC.

I remembered it fondly and since this year I returned to game development after a long hiatus of 1.5 decades, and since the game I'm designing wants be original, I've been looking for ideas all around.

Now, I remembered this game as being good, but when I returned to it the other, after ~30 years since I played it for the first time, it wasn't that good.

I guess I valued this game because when I was a teen, I used to program in basic, and I remembering regarding this game as a great accomplishment to create something like it in basic.

This game owns. I've played it multiple times & the story always unfolds & ends differently. Spooky too!
