It's a spanish platform game, the original game was for the Amstrad CPC.

The original game was for the Sinclair Spectrum, and from there ported to Amstrad CPC (with less colours) and MSX. And it was released outside Spain by Melbourne House as "Conquestador".

Hmmm, I can't get this to work as I just get a blank screen. My Spanish is v poor so i cannot read the 'leeme.txt' file. I am curious because I remember from the Spectrum and Amstrad days that a few Spanish games were released in the UK and they were all good. This was probably because it was only worth bothering with the effort of translation if the game was actually any good, but I still have positive memories of Spanish games.

Hello,

The black screen problem can be solved loading the game from gmenu2x, this is applicable for any game ported by me using the Allegro library, it is a known bug but I can't reproduce it on my GP2X.

 

[WhizzBang]

Thanks. I haven't tried gmenu2x yet but maybe it is about time I did.

delete the "glaurung.gpe" file ..the one with 1KB size ..
and add extension "gpe" to the glaurung file with 770KB size ... worked for me

This didn't work for me - I'll look into that gmenu thing-

Edit: oops, yes it did. Thanks euro48k.

This looks really good. It definately has the Spectrum/Amstrad feel to it but has much improved graphics than those machines could produce.

Yeah, but what was the English name. I almost can see the tape in my closet......

So, if this a Spanish platformer, any chances for an English translation?

It already has a translation built in. When you start it up the first thing you do is choose a language.

Yep, Spanish software houses of the 80's were great. There are many ZX Spectrum classics that were made in Spain.

Dinamic, Opera Soft and Topo software are probably the best known companies, but there where many others.

Unfortunatly, the Spanish industry has died, and I think only Pendulo Studios (Runaway: A Road Adventure) is currently worth checking.
