Play Frankenstein (dos) Online

Frankenstein is a side-view platform game released in 1994 for MS-DOS. Developed by Junkyard and published in Europe by Merit Studios, the title falls into the arcade and platform genres. Players assume the role of Egor Woodenhead, a character tasked with assembling the infamous monster.

The player controls Egor across four distinct locations: a village, a cemetery, a dungeon, and a castle. The primary objective is to collect all the necessary body parts and screws to construct Frankenstein's Monster. Gameplay involves navigating platform environments while avoiding hostile peasants, animals, ground spikes, and falls from height, all of which deplete a health meter referred to as a blood level. Enemies can be defeated by jumping on their heads. An inventory system allows Egor to carry up to two items at a time, and energy can be restored by making contact with a blond-haired woman found wandering the village.

Progression requires moving through the levels to gather components while managing the limited inventory and monitoring the character's vitality. The game structure is divided into the four main areas, each presenting platforming challenges and enemy encounters. The core gameplay systems combine traditional jumping and avoidance mechanics with item collection and resource management through the two-slot inventory and health restoration mechanic.
