A variation of El Mago . Just find the right grave following the clues .

This is the kind of videogame that I enjoy the most . Mental games .

NOTE: This is a response to YOR's review on another game also called Ultratumba where he asks for help on how to play this game:

In this 1985 version originally available on a MicroHobby compilation, but incomplete online (at least the B-side), reviewer dandyboy says something about El Mago which is another version of the 1985 Ultrutumba. He writes about "finding the right grave following the clues". Unfortunately none have instructions. Meanwhile I uncovered the following Microhobby issue featuring the missing game:

Briefly translated from page 25, it says : Thomas, the father has hid himself under a tomb in order to scare away bad spirits(?), our job is to find him by lifting each tomb using vertical/horizontal coordinates. If he isn't under the tomb we select, be prepared to be scared, skeletons and monsters will try to demove you from your goal. Even so, some will show you clues pointing to the correct direction. Others will return to their slumber under the R.I.P. sign (?).

Well, I played both games, El Mago and Ultratumba but I'm still a bit confused with the mechanics of the games. Maybe still lacking more details and instructions.
