Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back is a comedy adventure made in 1996 by the Spanish studio Alcachofa Soft. John Hacker, an estate agent from London, comes to Transylvania on business and finds that the famous Count Drascula has kidnapped a young woman named B.J. for one of his experiments.
The game parodies old vampire films and is full of absurd jokes, odd characters and puzzles that need some lateral thinking. Alcachofa Soft released it as freeware in 2008 together with ScummVM, which runs it here in your browser with the full music score.
