Coleco Vaporware: Dracula

[theiceking]

Coleco was famous because their vaporware. Perhaps the most famous specimen is Dracula.

Does anybody know more information about this unreleased game?
I found this: http://www.adamcon.org/cartridge.html and the author claims he is developing
a version based on the magazine advertize screen (or mockup).

I remember staring at this ad for hours wondering of the glory of DRACULA!
A shame it never came to be!

I also remember drooling over the screen shot of Tunnels & Trolls.

I wonder if the Colecovision's TI video processor would be capable of doing justice to that artistic mock-up.

Drac is back and only a video game crash can stop him!

Notice he does not cast a shadow....

I doubt it. Did you saw the Sword and Sorcerer demo? (http://www.thelogbook.com/pdfmedia/1983/coleco-sword/)
It runs but it´s hard to believe a real game would be possible (I mean an interactive multi stage game)
