I was trying to find more retro video games involving vampires (as I tend to do) when I stumbled upon this one. The premise seems straightfoward enough but they made the vampire look like such a creep it really does looking like you're "stalking" these women and not "hunting" them.
Just look at this explanation that comes up before you insert a coin. Look at that vampire!
Anyway, the gameplay is basically pac-man. You move around the maze trying to touch women (like a creep) while trying not to let priests or nuns touch you. But there are so many priests and nuns moving around the stage (and moving faster than you can) that it's extremely difficult. So this isn't a good game but it's certainly an odd one. And I just had to share.
Here's a longplay of the game.
This somehow reminds me-- one of the favorite super-retro webgames is about a vampire trying to build up its fortitude, take out the popes blocking it's path, and make its escape.

Simple graphics and gameplay, but the puzzles are clever and fun!
