In 2008, Spanish point-and-click adventure «Dráscula: The Vampire Strikes Back» (aka «Dráscula: El Vampiro») by Alcachofa Soft was re-released as a completely freeware game on ScummVM website. You can officially download it for free here: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/ ScummVM team did a great job on this one, freeware version works like a charm and there are all the voices and music included. Since it's hard to set up the original CD version properly, I've decided to record the longplay of this one. Honestly, it's the full version of the original game, nothing missed. English translation is fixed a little in freeware version though (you can compare it with the original one from the CD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjV5GnAogsw), so, there IS a differences, but I don't think it's THAT important. Especially since dub is still the same (that's why the text that the actors read and the text of the subtitles is different). The only thing I'm missing in this version is a built-in screensaver that was completely removed. Well, not like it was deleted, it's jut not showing, because ScummVM is not using the executable files. But I won't stand still to show you the screensaver in these videos anyway, so, it's not a big deal.

Technical note: It's an English version of the freeware edition of the game with FLAC music addon. You can listen to the soundtrack without playing the game BTW, so, it's really nice that all of this is officially free now.

Gameplay note: I'm using graphical interface in this playthrough. There're hotkeys for all the commands in this game, but it won't be nice to watch if I use them. That's why.
