On Evercade — Atari Lynx Collection — the cartridge is now a collectibleLow counterfeit risk

Atari Lynx prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A text-and-exploration adventure on a handheld — ambitious, slow, and unlike anything else in the library.

Hand Made Software developed it and Atari published it in 1991. It adapts Stoker directly, casting you as Jonathan Harker in a first-person adventure with inventory and puzzle-solving rather than action. On a machine sold on sprite scaling, that is an odd fit, and it is the closest the Lynx has to a graphic adventure.

It was announced as the first four-megabit Lynx game and shipped at two, with reviewers at the time noting the downgrade and passing the four-meg distinction to Pit-Fighter. The missing capacity shows: there is no save or password feature, which is a real problem in an adventure game.

It is on the Evercade Atari Lynx Collection 1 cartridge.

What the press said at the time

“Dracula is, quite simply, the scariest RPG you'll ever play. Atari brings a frightening classic to the Lynx that is sure to send a chill down the spine of the most jaded gamer.”
— GamePro #43, 1993

“There are some terrific lighting effects in the scenes where Jonathan carries a lantern into the catacombs where Dracula sleeps. Aside from a few minor complaints, namely an occasionally sluggish interface and the lack of a password or game-save feature...”
— VideoGames & Computer Entertainment #49, 1993

Worth knowing

Bram Stoker narrates it. EGM #42's review notes that "Bram Stoker will be narrating the story" — the novel's author used as the game's narrator. You play Jonathan Harker, the solicitor sent to Transylvania on a business errand, and the goal is to escape back to London. EGM's advice: don't tease the Count with fresh blood, "because he has such little will power".

Before you buy

Low risk and cheap. A reading-heavy game is the one genre where the original dim screen genuinely hurts, so this is a strong argument for a modded console or the Evercade version.
