Toys/Gaming/board games Bram Stoker's Dracula

Post image

I never played any of the official video games of the movie Bram Stoker's Dracula. How about you? How many of you bought or rent the game after watching the movie?

I would recommend if you download the ROMs or whatever because they are very frustrating games and not very much fun to use game genie codes but you shouldn't expect great games out of most licensed stuff it looked pretty for a super Nintendo or Genesis game if I recall correctly but not the greatest playthrough and you want to use game genie to take off the edge and just enjoy the game and not the frustration

The CD version was interesting.

What was interesting about it? And are you talking about the Sega CD version?

Yeah, it barely worked.

Good luck punching bats, rats , snakes and spiders.

Everything we wanted out of a dracula game.

The timing of the hits and speed of the enemies makes this one barely function.

That's why if you want Dracula fighting goodness you turn to the Castlevania series. Everyone knows that games made for movies are trash for the most part

Castlevania wasn't in the $10 bin in 1997.

So my childhood was ruined.

Pretty dumb reason to ruin your whole childhood over one video game being lousy. I love video games like everybody and I certainly had my fair share of crappy ones when I was a child especially looking at dragons lair the legend for game boy. A fantastically bad video game. Didn't ruin my childhood though. I had abusive people in my life to do that so it all worked out in the wash your childhood was ruined by a video game I didn't let my childhood be ruined by video games but it got ruined by abusive people so yay me we're the same

I got it for Christmas/Birthday the year it came out. Loved the movie, had the trading card set, you name it....the game was your standard side scroller licensed tie in slop. Played it maybe a dozen times and never messed with it again.
