Review:

An Abadia from ZX to your MSX!

I think this game is a little bizarre. While its plot is extremely interesting, the game is somewhat boring. There is a lot of things to do, but is very difficult to figure out WHAT to do. The game graphics are those uncolored strange common to games that were converted from ZX Spectrum to MSX, and the music is very good (one of the best), but it's played only on the intro (which is very interesting too). The history is very interesting. Some murders are happening on the Abadia, and you'll be there to discover WHO is beyond the murders. You'll need find a lot of proofs, and you'll have under the rigid Abadia's schedule... Which will be the hard part. On the overall, the game is good, but it lacks some action. Even an adventure has more action than Abadia del Crimen.
