Reviews for Don Quijote (#6199)

Review by dandyboy on 20 Mar 2012 (Rating: 4)

Don Quixote is an inmortal character created by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra in the 16th century and is also the most iconic Spanish novel of all times ...

The game is , indeed , a pretty good conversational video-adventure . Got lost in dusty La Mancha and feel like an old-fashioned "caballero andante" for a while in the rescue of your beloved "Dulcinea de El Toboso" .


"En un lugar de la Mancha , de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme ... " these are the inmortal lines that open the book .

The immortal work of Miguel de Cervantes, a masterpiece of the universal literature, was rightly converted into text adventure by Dinamic.

You're Alonso Quijano, a nobleman who lives in the spanish region of La Mancha that gets mad because of reading so many knights stories, so you decide to become Don Quijote de la Mancha and do justice for poor and weak people, fight against terrible giants,... with the help of your squire Sancho, a humble man whose common sense and view of life is the counterbalance to Don Quijote's madness.

The aim of the game is court the beautiful maiden Dulcinea and win her heart, but first, you must be knighted to start your adventures along the country.

The game is divided into two parts, the second one starts asking you the password you've got at the end of the part one, as in many other Dinamic games. The detailed graphics help you immerse in the adventure. As you progress in the game, you must not forget to find food, it's essential to finish the game.

The game doesn't follow the original story's structure, but it's good to read some chapters of the book to solve certain puzzles you'll come across along the adventure.

Don Quijote is definitely one of the best text adventures in spanish for the Spectrum.
