Game.

Brides Of Dracula was a strange game from a relativly unknown company on the C64, Gonzo Games.

The game would feature a split screen huge smooth scrolling game area with nice GFX. You could enter various rooms or go outside picking up various weapons and solving puzzles with either 1 or 2 players controlling either Dracula or Van Helsing.

Encountered each other, you then would have the chance to hinder the other players progress. Similar in most ways to the Spy VS Spy trilogy with more to do etc.

Alan Botwright, the game's creator, spoke to GTW and informed that the reason this game was never released, was due to the fact that Gonzo did not pay Alan or any of the team for their work... The main man behind Gonzo ran off with the team's money.

When asked about the game's existance now, Alan replied.. "It was 98% finished! I Might have an old version in a floppy disk somewhere. Unfortunatly I now longer own a 64 or disk drive!"

With some more contacting to do with Alan, and possibly the off chance of him allowing GTW to find the game, we may see the game one day soon in the archives. But sadly Alan's email address is obsolete, and so we must try and find Alan once more to see if we can find the long lost C64 conversion

A competition was ran in Zzap 64 (87), as with Daffy Duck, and the following people were promised a copy of the game with a leather jacket with the game's
artwork.

Mr M Yeoman, Kenton, Middlesex wins game plus leather jacket with game artwork on back. Runners-up are; Mr A Fraser, Moy, Inverness-shire; Master E Frawley, St Pauls, Glos; Chris Pearce, Meole Village, Shropshire; Steve Bromfield, Ashton-under-Hill, Evesham; David Madon, Hemsworth, W Yorks)

Did any of these people get a full game?

A game with much promise which hopefully can be found...
