Dracula's Secret

Windows - 1996
Also available on: Mac - Windows 3.x

How to Play

Notes:

  • The game should work fine on any Windows 9x system and even Windows XP. To install and play the game on Windows XP, select "256 color mode" and "640x480 screen resolution" in Compatibility settings, both for the installer and game's executable. Make sure to save the progress often because on Windows XP the game may suddenly close without the warning
  • However, the best variant to play the game on modern systems would be to use Virtual Machine with old Windows, for example DOSBox + Windows 3.1 or 3.11 or VMWare + Windows 98. If you have troubles with running the game through DOSBox (usually happens on 64-bit systems), do the next: first install the game, then copy the game folder to virtual DISK_C in DOSBox emulator
  • If you don't know how to configure DOSBox, you can download the custom installer by TheCollectionChamber, it includes DOSBox-X + Windows 3.1 & English version of the game. Here's also a similar package for Spanish version of the game
  • The game released as PC & Mac hybrid CD, visit MacintoshGarden for more details about Mac version

Easily played on Vmware machine running I guess 3.1. BUT definitely runs on a 98 OR XP32bit virtual machine OR if your sad like me and have a decent Retro PC and play it physically. There is also a site that lets you play through a browser. LOVED this game as a kid :)

@ PASHA
I am not sure if that could help you but there is a windows emulator for linux-users. Maybe that one could even work for newer windows users? Just try it, it's called "WinE". :)
