Excellent  . I have always loved isometric games, and this is no exception. Also, the graphics are stunning (and fluid), and monochromatic rooms add to the crispy look of the rooms. Title screen is the icing on the cake, just perfect. Thanks soooo much Csabo for this conversion.
If I may add a shy request, is it too much to foresee a future conversion of two games which made history, each in its particular niche? (IIRC, both of Spanish production)
1) The incredible Space:1999 isometric game for the Oric-1 (Oric Atmos) computer. Converting this game for the most popular 8-bit would mean an instant hit! Just look at the provided link, or google YT videos. Amazing!

2) The incredibly complex La Abadìa del Crimen, a game already present for several 8-bit platforms, but incredibly missing both for the beloved Plus/4, and for the Commodore 64. This also would be a great achievement, as the "name of the Rose" setting is always loved worldwide. Also, it has an interesting plot, and it represents somehow a symbol of an era in Spain, where also a dedicated sheet of stamps was issued in 2017. BTW, I couldn't resist and bought one in Ebay . Look for the game in YT, there are plenty of examples for several micros.
Just my two cents, or better, my two DREAMS. If you will ever fulfill them, you will be my hero!
