Synopsis

All hell is breaking loose at Interpol: The valuable diamonds belonging to billionaire NJ Sirmel's wife disappeared three days ago. Mrs. Sirmel was found dead on Monday morning, robbed of both her blood and her jewellery, lying on the knee-high Persian rug, the window open, and the perpetrator gone.

Notes

This game was originally published as a type-in for ZX-81 in the October 1983 issue of Homecomputer magazine, pp.30-35.

The Spectrum and C64 versions may be unofficial ports. There are two different versions of the C64 game; one is usually listed under the title Dracula the other as Draculas Diamanten. The main difference seems to be in tweaks to the graphics.

There is a (possibly unofficial) Laser/VZ200 version of the game; dated 1985 and attributed to Wolfgang Wesemann; which is mentioned in the Laser Fan Club newsletter, issue 10.

Frank Gerbig has produced an unofficial port of this game to Inform; see here.

Jim Gerrie has produced an English translation of the game, as a port for TRS-80 MC-10.
