Love the music in this game.

[@kramalerav]

The music on the SNES version of this game is faaar superior, which provided actual atmosphere to go along with the gameplay. Some of what is on here is okay for what it is, but that was more indicative of the inferiority of the Mega Drive’s sound chip compared to its 16-bit competitor than anything else.

[@solarflare9078]

@u r You mean the sound when it hits something. Either way, I still disagree with you

[@MajorRager504]

When I was a kid I would always turn off the genesis when I got to the sisters. They creeped me out

perfect description

[@Justin7939]

Such a neat game. I remember being creeped out by some of the monsters when I was a kid.

[@KorporalKReephdmkiytrecv69]

Funny thing is, the novel is considered Canon to the Castlevania lore. So this is technically an actual Castlevania game

[@MrSmokincodz]

thank you for using the word "Canon".

[@FIDreams]

and like Castlevania the Castle collapse to the Ground at the end. XD

[@BelmontClan]

The zombies are the most considerate creatures in the game even with dying Dracula is so powerful that he can make them jump and fly and simply slapping them with a blade makes them fall back into the ground.

[@TheTurnipKing]

Well... it varies somewhat, I think. But it's definately in canon with Bloodlines, at the very least, since Johnny Morris is supposedly the son of Quincy from the original novel. There's the odd loose end among the Castlevania games. Bloodlines may be one. Castlevania Legends on the original Gameboy, and Circle of the Moon on the GBA, as well as the arcade game Haunted Castle spring to mind as being somewhat "free floating" and not explicitly tying into any established series chronology.

[@pferreira1983]

Only if you're a Castlevania fan (wink).

[@hacedordearmas6715]

the title presentation is beyond PERFECT Atmosferic and Dark

[@janaakf6013]

I'm still obsessed with the soundtracks 😩🤩😍✨✨✨

[@richardslotboom9250]

You know im getting so tired of the people saying the snes music always sounds better. The Megadrive has some great soundtracks, so does the snes, mostly its just a matter of preference!

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

Still though, this is a pretty solid game. It has everything a good game should have; smooth and responsive controls, great level designs, a great cast of bosses, and a chilling atmosphere. And a fantastic soundtrack to boot.

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

So, so , so amazing music, ah nostalgia is killing me!

[@Mutantvirus]

forgot how good the music in this game was

[@kramalerav]

Some of what is on here is okay for what it is, but that was more indicative of the inferiority of the Mega Drive’s sound chip compared to its 16-bit competitor than anything else. Compositionally, the Nintendo version is even better than the Sega CD version despite that platform having a higher end .

[@solarflare9078]

@@kramalerav I felt the SNES version was very hollow thanks to the limited storage space, or TT's lack of faith of the SNES (ALL of their games on the SNES is worse compared to the Mega Drive. This, Mickey Mania, Toy Story, etc)

[@danielson9579]

Now there's that mega drive sound I remember with that bass bit in the background 😎👍

[@solarflare9078]

Daniel Son The composer of this soundtrack is Matt Furniss. I'm sure that I believe you've seen one of his other works?

[@leandrotarsia7212]

@@solarflare9078 I'm about to look it up but it sounds a lot like Alien 3. Edit: Yep. Alien 3, Pitfall and Predator 2. I can clearly remember the style. Never thought it was the same guy.

[@kramalerav]

I was huge Sega guy back in the day. My first 8-bit console was the SMS. I owned the Sega Genesis and still have this game intact. The GameCube is the only Nintendo console I ever owned. But now I’m absolutely convinced the SNES was superior in almost every way. Especially as a music lover; the music on the SNES version of this title runs circles around what’s heard here.

[@ghoulsarefree]

this movie was very popular in children. for which the game appealed.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

I just watched the movie for the first time last night, though I played the game long ago. It was definitely not a kids' movie.

[@rodrolliv]

I understand why they had to use flags in the intro, but were able to sneak a few bodies in the background. Nice detail.

[@sajohnmello]

Beautiful colors, music and game. It soooo reminds me of early 90’s being excited that Sega made a winner with Genesis. I had the Sega Master System before, and this just blew the lid off home video game consoles. Miss my teenage life!

[@pferreira1983]

Solid game. I think Mega Drive got the best Dracula movie game.

I'm actually quite impressed by the size of it, larger than half of screen and moving so fast.

[@user-dj2fl4rl6g]

And here I thought, why does this look exactly like Puggsy? The HUD, the sprites - both games are made by Psygnosis. Also used in Mickey Mania, BTW.

[@Luis_Maciel]

Bram Stoker Mickey Mania

[@imacommentator]

Funny you mention it, there was one Mickey Mouse comic adaptation of the film

[@skywatchers9675]

I remember buying it new from shop when it came out

[@whittle181]

The last level actually reminded me of King Koopa’s castle from Super Mario

[@hangemhighhilton]

5:51 Last time I played this, like two years ago around Halloween, those fucking bitches scared the piss outta me. Was expecting the book cutscene after the last level, thinking I had time for a quick shot of vodka, those women come out of nowhere, whooping and hollering at me through my surround system, coming full tilt towards me. Had me fall back in my moon chair, flipping and flopping all over the goddamn floor, flinging vodka fucking everywhere as I scrambled for the pause button. Got me fucked up, man!

[@TKOh-tt9oi]

lol What is a moon chair? o.0

[@hangemhighhilton]

@@TKOh-tt9oi hahaha imagine your average, very spherical crater on the lunar surface, or moon and imagine a padded/fluffy saucer with a relatively similar depth but proportionate to your average adult human's body while seated. Now imagine this saucer mounted to two crossover, foldout legs, similar to that of older, metal lawn/beach chairs but mounted and/or arranged slightly differently and the saucer section that makes up the actual seat mounted to these legs in their foldout position at around 55° so that this soft, crater-like seat cradles you within it, typically rather low to the ground. :P So yeah, best I can give you for a description... or you could simply google it. XD They're not particularly uncommon. They're awesome for kicked-back, casual gaming and extremely comfortable

[@screwthenet]

The castlevania vibes were real though. I still have some magazines that were advertising for htis game back in the early 90s. good times. Game is kinda stiff though and the bosses are hilariously bad, but thats just part of the magic baby!

[@blodguizer]

Why is Harker fighting the carriage driver that brought him to the castle which if you read the book you would know that was actually Dracula.

[@kramalerav]

Rude ride sharing experience I guess.

[@atomiswave2]

I think it might be debatable. Creepy driver though.

[@user-st4vf3yf1x]

Dracula 100℅☝

[@LilReikoGold]

The genesis version to me, is hard to beat

[@indask8]

That game looks like Puggsy (genesis) and Leander (amiga) had a baby together.

[@DavideGendo]

They were both from Traveller's Tales and Psygnosys. Several of people who worked on them must have made this one too.

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

I love kinky Dracula in his full rubber armor.

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

That was before he was Dracula. He was a count and a knight.

[@Cujo-fu5bm]

If Only they made a modern game from the movie Bram Stoker`s Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola , that would be awesome.

[@KingOfApoc]

@12:32 Jonathan Harker vs Tiny Tim ... the battle of EPIC proportions!

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

Though, its a shame that Jonathan Harker is the only playable character in this game. It would be nice to play as Abraham Van Helsing or Quincy Morris.

[@asidewal]

this is a castlevania but without belmont's family and without the whip

[@Jac2Mac]

I feel that they REALLY should have made the Sega CD version of Bram Stoker's Dracula just an upgraded version of the Sega Genesis game, but with cutscenes from the movie added in and a rebook audio soundtrack from the movie as well.

That red statue looks like a bad bionicle.
