I'll leave that to the Spanish adventurers like Rockersuke to confirm, but from what I read it was what Andres used as a demonstration to present to Dinamic be...

I see it doesn't seem to support pronouns, I mean, sentences like "Get letter and read IT", which is a very basic DAAD feature which only requires words like IT and/or THEM to be present in the pronoun section of the vocabulary, which happens in most DAAD default templates but, I guess, no...

Gamebooks were very popular in the 80s, but I don't remember any Spectrum game designed as one of them.
