This year we’re putting together a list of 31 Retro Horror games. Games that have come from dead console generations, back to haunt us. Sadly, not all of these games will be available for you to play due to the complicated nature of video game preservation. However, we’re going to note if it’s possible to play them on modern hardware. We’ll be covering games from the Seventh Generation (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii) and earlier. So basically anything before 2006.

Dracula Unleashed
We’re back to full motion video (FMV) video games, but this time we’re going a little further back with Dracula Unleashed. Released during the era of Sewer Shark and Night Trap, Dracula Unleashed can be considered those games’ forgotten cousin, as it was also one of the earliest titles to make use of FMV.
The gameplay is simple point and click. You play as Alexander Morris who is looking into the strange circumstances surrounding his brother’s death. Spoilers: it’s vampires. I mean, otherwise we wouldn’t be trying to unleash Dracula. While the FMV sequences can be a bit corny by today’s standards, they are still pretty well done.
Sadly, while Sewer Shark and Night Trap have been rereleased recently, the last release of Dracula Unleashed was in 2002 in the form o an ultra rare interactive DVD. (And yes, I’m going to try to get one for my collection now.) It even includes blooper reels and other extras alongside DVD quality video.
