Bram Stoker's Dracula Playthrough (SEGA GENESIS/MEGA DRIVE)

[@Greywind920]

Lmao the music on the first level has haunted me for 20 years 😂

[@NationTheSadBoy]

It's been haunting me also

The "sword" in this looks like he's whipping a towel.

[@SlipperyBream]

Its a sword? LOL< I always thought it was his spare handkerchief XD

[@NinjaKurosai]

Its Strider/Actraiser style :)

[@NationTheSadBoy]

Haha a wet towel

[@jamesni4498]

I dig the ghoulishly spooky music. An underated game imo.

[@USSJ2Otaku3084]

This game was my introduction to Castlevania games

[@alansomma1290]

I played this game all the time in the great Saturday afternoon as time goes by ...

[@Rassenomatjutut]

On Konami's hands, Bram Stoker's Dracula would've become the prequel of Castlevania Bloodlines we never got.

[@RentalRewindGaming]

I think that was what initially attracted me to the game when I saw the back of the box was that "oh, this looks like Castlevania all over again and its more about the book/movie? Yeah I'll get this." And I had just got into the Castlevania games around the same time as well so the timing was perfect for me at that point. I still thoroughly enjoy it and play it a couple times or so every year, usually around Halloween most fittingly lol! Still a favorite over 20+ yrs later!

[@CapnLexCrunch]

I can't get over how the sound for killing small creatures in this game is taken right from Sub-Zero's projectile in Mortal Kombat

[@Gross_Gaming27]

Still think his weapon is a dish towel 20 years later

I always thought that too! XD

I would play the first level and then would make my dad play the rest cause I was so scared 😂😂😂

[@briancarpenter6413]

same!

[@jayblack7495]

The poor man's Castlevania . . . And there's nothing wrong with that.

[@Rassenomatjutut]

If you turned Quincey Morris (protagonist Bram Stoker's novel and Francis Ford Coppola's movie) into Belmont-like vampire hunter like his son John, and added Castlevania music, you would have this game as the missing prequel to Castlevania Bloodlines.

[@thebusmanz]

THIS is what I was looking for. The music in the SNES version is nonsense compared to this.

[@romankovalski2138]

I also went through the NES and Sega versions as a child Not difficult and secrets with lives there is a Beautiful but very difficult one on Sega CD

[@90sretrodad]

this music is friggen creepy I remember this game it was difficult for me

[@briancarpenter6413]

so creepy! good game!

[@bambino158]

My dad would play this game the intro would scare me as a kid

[@hangemhighhilton]

I remember back in the day on SD tvs it looked like he whipped his enemies with a towel. XD

[@briancarpenter6413]

haha

[@sidneyd.dacosta4361]

I think a well done game on genesis, nice video effects, sounds good too, clear voicesf, just too easy.

[@romankovalski2138]

It is strange that the castle is destroyed at the end like an evil wizard in a fairy tale But in the original it was already in ruins and remained so

[@romankovalski2138]

In movies and fairy tales about wizards, Yes, this is correct!!But not Bram Stoker and Coppola the movie Is a bit stereotypical it turned out SEGA CD version played played a Lot of beer little fun This one is better

[@romankovalski2138]

The SEGA CD version has a Great story and matches the movie the Gameplay is just hell Reminiscent of nes Karateka and boring monotonous

[@romankovalski2138]

This is only the version of the Sega CD in the beginning if not played it seems great Graphics match the script of the + movie video the gameplay and control is terrible only forward and backward hand and foot Kick Some mice and spiders everywhere only Reached the first Dracula in red Tired

[@Sandlot1992]

VGretro brought me here about this game that he mentions and talks about it on Morgan's review of Bram Stoker's Dracula review back in 2012!

[@NinjaKurosai]

This game had some fucking badass cover art.

[@mattpotokar6370]

This was the first video game I ever owned

[@InkfinityOkamix3]

The OST is amazing.

[@Honeyguts88]

Keep in mind this came out after Super Castlevania 4.

[@RentalRewindGaming]

I was lucky and got Castlevania 4 first when I was 8yrs old, then I would hedge a bet and say that I got this game not too long afterwards..probably 6 months or so. Which happened to line up nicely with my then-recent discoveries of the Bram Stoker novel and the Crestwood House Monster books at my school library which covered the Universal Monsters and a good portion of the Hammer Horror films as well. So needless to say, getting this game at the time I did was like the stars aligning and helped contribute to kickstarting a lifelong interest/fandom of the old B&W and early technicolor Gothic horror movies and its source literature. Golden memories for sure, even if specific details now are a touch hazy and sepia-toned lol!

[@NoFormalTraining]

This reminds me very much of The Legend of Galahad, right down to the art style, sound effects, certain enemies and traps and general game play :)

[@PaulyC8879]

Looks just like altered beast too

[@Jac2Mac]

And that's because both games were made by Traveller's Tales and have similar gameplay as such.

[@happyspaceinvader508]

At the time, I hated this game because of its tenuous connection to the movie... but looking back now, Matt Furniss’s music (if not always appropriate to the gameplay) was brilliantly written and made incredible use of the Genesis soundchip. Gameplay wise... it’s fiddly in a similar way to Shadow of the Beast... but not quite as awful. If you can forget about the movie license it’s not that bad.

[@RentalRewindGaming]

I have always really enjoyed the game. I totally agree that the music is really quite good, and fitting too in spots. The control, well rather solid, is a bit stiff with the jumping and such in some spots but its the only fault I can find with it off the top of my head so to speak.

[@Jac2Mac]

@@RentalRewindGaming Sadly, the SNES version has a MUCH worse soundtrack that doesn't sound very impressive at all and it shows that the Psygnosis games often fared better on Sega Genesis than the SNES.

[@tjrogue840]

The brides level was my favorite all though i always thought they were witches was young and didnt know nostalgic13:03 best music of the game

[@frankparker1191]

Personally I loved this game, it's good considering it is a 90's movie based game. The sound track was stellar and the creepiness factor was on point. It was hard, until you figured out the correct strategy for each stage. The pikes that shot down at you twards the end of the game were the worst hardship in the game, because there was no way to time avoiding them right.

[@stevenhibbert694]

Reminds me of splatterhouse

[@MorrisChannel4]

Level two music sounds like something tech n9ne would sample

[@RentalRewindGaming]

Good to know I'm not alone in thinking that lol! Really like the music in the game overall. Especially the haunted forest level with all the zombies. Great memories!

Nostalgia 90🥰

[@RentalRewindGaming]

Oh very much so....loved this game as a kid and I still play it at least once a year, especially around October.

[@isabelgonzalez3734]

Good, very ,good

[@dimifisher]

I really dont see any connection to the dracula movie except the screen on the beginning 🤣👍

[@RentalRewindGaming]

A pretty loose adaptation for sure. Dracula's Castle is not too bad for accuracy's sake (minus the foggy dungeon level), being chased by the Vampire Wives was a good bit and rather stressful as a kid too I will add. The middle portion of the game does take considerable liberty with it's source material and the last portion of the game in the Sanitarium and Carfax Abbey wasn't so bad. Having the final boss of the game as the Armored Dracula from the beginning of the movie though made no sense and it was a very disappointing final boss as well unfortunately.

[@dimifisher]

@@RentalRewindGaming i was wondering why they didnt make it as an adventure instead of shoot em up, it makes no sense

[@randypeppercorn1865]

That's supposed to be Keanu Reeves's character, so what the heck is on his head? A helmet? A yarmulke?

[@randypeppercorn1865]

Strong theory, very possible.😆 The greying is why I suggested a yarmulke, as it looks like he has grey hair, but there's that odd black patch on top. But perhaps they were trying to show salt and pepper grey, or even the contour of Keanu's hairstyle...? Perhaps...we'll never know for sure 😅

[@NationTheSadBoy]

Damn this is a throwback

[@NationTheSadBoy]

Jordan Van Dyk Happy New Year though I'm glad this made your childhood I remember being small and seeing my brother on this game beating the levels but it took a while for him to complete them

[@NationTheSadBoy]

Jordan Van Dyk I always was exited to experience a new game when I was growing up. Now that I'm growing up I feel exited but get bored after like 20 min. Don't worry when we get old we tend to slopes some skills after no practice. Cheers!

[@minister_julius]

Cool video! I liked this game. I was wondering if I could use some of your playback footage for visual background for some music I am looking to release on here. I would credit your channel and put a link in the description. If not, no worries~! Just figure you are getting through the game easier than I would if I downloaded the Rom. Thanks,

It's usually pretty cheap and common for a used copy online, or there is emulation too. I like the real thing myself personally though lol!

[@lunitaproductions8290]

Then it was that one without the words "high definition graphics" cuz the audio sounded a little scratchy

[@happyspaceinvader508]

"Based"... very very loosely indeed. This is such a bizarre game... I think this is one of those movie license made before the film's release, with the developers thrown a couple of photos as inspiration. The levels don't look like anything from the film, and then there's the odd use of various characters as end-level bosses. Why is Jonathan Harker wandering around slashing at giant tarantulas with Strider Hiryu's light sword? Why is Renfield so freakishly tall? Why do all the boss characters make the same irritating sampled chuckle/laugh? The music is often really inappropriate (funky synth pop leftovers from Puggsy) and nothing at all like the film. In fact, I think only the intro sequence uses music from the film. I didn't really find it much fun to play - too many "leaps of faith", being spammed by enemies, etc. is lazy game design. Collision detection is poor. Like someone else said here... it's a poor man's Castlvania. What's strangest is that this came from Psygnosis, who produced some really good games for the Megadrive/Genesis. Perhaps they made this one on the day they all decided to drop some acid? However, of course I'm giving this video a thumbs up because even bad games are a part of video game history, and I particularly applaud walkthroughs that don't have some irritating voice over!

[@NinjaKurosai]

I didn’t think this game was all that bad. Sure, it’s far from being a masterpiece let alone great, but let’s just say that there are other movie-based games that are a lot worse.
