This wonderful game, programmed by Paco Menéndez with graphics made by Juan Delcán, let us enjoy too much in a part of our life. In Spain, it is still considered like one of the best games of all times.
It was programmed initially in an Amstrad CPC 6128, because it had more powerful graphics, and it was more easy to convert to SPECTRUM (my FIRST computer!!). The program was made in 128k Spectrum and Amstrad versions, MSX and PC -with digitized voices via speaker-.
It wasn't possible to talk with Umberto Eco, the author of "The Name of the Rose", so the authors of the game decided that it would be called "La Abadía del Crimen" ("The Abbey of crime"). Although this, this title was bright by itself, and even it was during various months in the MicroHobby's sales Top 20, not a normal thing because it wasn't an arcade nor a sports game, and because it was a 128k program.
The program received some awards, like MicroHobby annual awards 1988, to the best programmer (Paco Menéndez), best argument and best graphics (of course!).
NOW you can Enjoy the MOBILE version (sorry, only SP available). SUPPLIED by ME :lol:
I hope you enjoy the original and GREAT 3D graphics!!!
