The Count of Monte Cristo is the third most famous fictional count, after Sesame Street’s numerically obsessed vampire ‘The Count’ and the most infamous vampire of them all, Count Chocula. Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel of romance and revenge has nothing to do with vampires (which some may consider an oversight), but it’s still recognised as one of literature’s greatest works, having been adapted into countless films and TV shows.
As yet, though, a proper video game adaptation has eluded us. A quick Steam search shows that the closest thing currently available is ‘The Count of Monster Disco’, a Transylvania-themed spinoff of Train Simulator, which beyond the punny title, has nothing to do with Dumas’ novel whatsoever.
