About

Alcachofa Soft handed the game's source to the ScummVM team in 2008, then made it freeware: ScummVM's engine for it, playing the English version streamed by the demo, without its CD music.

Dráscula: The Vampire Strikes Back is a 1996 graphic adventure game developed by Alcachofa Soft. It was created in Spain, and was the first adventure game released by Alcachofa. In 1999, Midas Interactive Entertainment released an English version of the game in the United Kingdom. Dráscula tells the story of John Hacker, a realtor who attempts to help "Count Drascula" sell real estate in Transylvania.
