Andres Samudio's 'La Aventura Original - La Gran Caverna' has just been released.
It's a book adaptation of the game the author wrote back in 1989
which was itself the first spanish version of the classic Colossal Cave game from the 70's
...pionner of the text adventure genre.
In a strict sense, this is not the first time a spanish author makes a novel from his own text game.
Not long ago, in the year 2008, Josep Coletas Caubet...
...wrote a novel from his 'Extraordinarios Casos del Dr. Van Halen' adventure saga...
...available as a digital download which had a limited paperback edition.
This is the first chapter of the series...
...executed in an Amiga 1200 through the 'ZX Live' Spectrum emulator.
Now you can see the book together with the original cassette game...
...just as it was originally published more than 20 years ago...
...beeing executed in a ZX Spectrum computer.
And now with all its gorgeous Amiga colours!
Samudio has self-published his novel through a crowd-funding service...
...with donations from dozens of enthusiasts from the internet who made this project possible.
It's not only a simple adaptation from the old game's plot but also offers...
...a new plot with brand new situations and characters.
Together with the beautiful artwork from illustrator Manuel Millan, it creates a full new concept...
...appealing for both, long time fans and potential new audiences.
