La Diosa de Cozumel

Whether it's Mire Mare or a BASIC tape you found in the attic, it needs to be preserved digitally. Post here and experts can help to do so.

It was the early pre-DAAD version of...

...I think? Unpublished at the time?

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 before he commissioned Tim Gilberts to produce the DAAD.

It was previously made available as an exclusive bonus through Spanish Retro Gamer, I believe...

Spanish readers can take a look at my chronicle of the presentation of this version of the game made by Andrés Samudio himself back in 2013:

https://lineadura.wordpress.com/2013/09 ... ro-madrid/

I can also confirm that, unlike stated at its entry here, it's a 100 % quill game, not a PAW one. It's comercial release would be made later with DAAD.

Actually I'm not absolutely sure! :oops: Maybe we should ask Matranet, who was selling it at his web or Mr. Samudio himself.
