Credits
| The cover art for the original Dinamic release for Don Quijote was a picture taken from Don Quijote de La Mancha, a 1979 famous Spanish animated TV series created by Cruz Delgado and José Romagosa and produced by Romagosa Internacional. This company had its offices in one of the first Spanish skyscrapers called La Torre de Madrid where coincidentally Dinamic Software had its headquarters between 1986 and 1991. |
Remarks
| According to the fanzine 'A Traves del Espejo', Aventuras AD developed an "advanced version" of this game and sold it to Dinamic, who never released it. |
