Running Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back (DOS/English)
14.ald: 09b2735953edcd43af115c65ae00b10e, 1595 bytes.
WARNING: Incorrect version of the 'drascula.dat' engine data file found. Expected 7.0 but got 6.0.!

I can confirm the issue; the thread at
https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=16948 indicates that the
data is usually distributed with scumvm, so a brave

sudo rm /usr/share/scummvm/drascula/en/drascula.dat

makes the game running again. So probably all it needs to stop shipping
drascula.dat.
