Seville is the city where I live , and Capitán Sevilla used to be a cartoon hero here in Spain . The Spanish equivalent to Captain America -if you like it- but with the same low popularity as ... mmmm ... let´s say ... Condorman .

Capitan Sevilla wasn´t very popular not even in Seville , so I wonder who on earth believed it to be a good idea to make a conversion for the ZX Spectrum .

Nobody reads this comic nowadays but the idea that there is still a video-game featuring this forgotten and obscure cartoon hero got me perplexed .

A platform action game based upon an obscure Spanish cartoon character. Slow and sluggish action with absolutely nothing to redeem it in the graphics and sound departments, Capitan Sevilla fades quickly into the obscurity he came from.

A not very popular Dinamic game starring a curious superhero in his fight against the typical evil baddie who wants to take over the world. It has the usual Dinamic two-parts system. At the end of part 1 you'll be given a code to start part 2.

You're in Seville and have to go through the streets to reach a rocket to travel in part 2 to the planet where the baddie is located and deactivate a dangerous weapon.

The game has a (almost) linear structure. You start as Mariano, a humble lunchmeat driver that can become Capitán Sevilla by eating some of the blood sausages you find that will give you certain superpowers (fly, high jumps, shoots, powerful blast, ...) in a limited time and help you reach your goal in the game. When you're not a super hero you can only give a punch so you'll lose a life with a simple contact with enemies.

It has very good comic-style graphics and backgrounds (monochrome though), with acceptable sounds and a nice starting tune. A bit difficult plattform game in which you have to use strategy to choose to become a super hero in certain moments.

A nice game, in my opinion. Cool artwork game by artist Max.
