 |  Games with isometric graphics / "La abadia del crimen" / porting Spectrum games
"Head over Heels" comes to my mind and some of these games made its way from SPECTRUM (sometimes via C64) to the plus/4.
I know that I said "I like colors" (about XEO3), however, I also like detailed graphics and the style of "Head over Heels" is very detailed and I'm still amazed when I look at the screen shots.
"Molecule Man" is somewhat similar, though, not as complex. Are there any other games using this style?
I surfed around a bit. Starting with the link provided on the "Head over Heels" page: http://usuarios.lycos.es/hoh2/uk/original_game.htm (Check out the CPC version, it looks incredible  ), I ended up on some sites about "La abadia del crimen". This game has never been ported to the C64 and I have never heard about it before. In the Spectrum/Amstrad/MSX world it seems to be very popular, especially among Spanish Gamers.
Has anyone ever thought about porting this one to the plus/4? Sure, the code would need to be written from scratch but there are remake projects on various platforms that could help (game logic etc). Probably, it can't be done in 64K but it seems to be a very interesting game.
Some links...

Love it too, C...
But do you know how long is the mithological List of Desired Conversions? You have to get in line, before Ultima, The Sentinel, all the adventures, Stunt Car Racers, all the flight simulators...
