The tremendously popular MSX game
La Abadía del Crimen, programmed by Paco Menéndez with graphics made by Juan Delcán, is to be released for mobile phones at all the Spanish operators (
Movistar,
Amena and
Vodafone Spain) in a J2ME version developed by the Spanish company
eBrain/
Play2me.
Previously, the game was already remade for MSX2 and translated to English by
Manuel Pazos, which you can find
over here and a remake for PC was released
over here.
The mobile version of the game will use the graphics of the PC remake and features several improvements with respect to the original version, like several bugfixes, scrolling (in some versions), the possibility of saving several game states, speeding up the action of the game, different color palettes according to the hour of the day and place of the abbey, etc. Apart from that, the gameplay and plot is exactly the same as the original. The game even uses the original data from the MSX version of the game (isometric rooms, 2D maps, data arrays, etc...).
At the moment screenshots are not yet available, neither is it clear whether or not the game will be released outside Spain in an English version as well.
