Yenght: La Fuente de la Juventud is a Spanish interactive fiction game published in 1984 by Dinamic Software for the ZX Spectrum. It is written in BASIC.[1] Yenght is the first game from Dinamic Software and the first graphic adventure game published in the Spanish market.
Gameplay
The game begins inside a maze where the player must first find a key and escape through the exit. Once outside, the player begins searching, but must be careful because outside there are several locations that connect with the labyrinth.[2] The game also has rudimentary secondary characters, although perhaps due to programming error, it is possible to talk to them even after death.[3]
Plot
 | This article needs an improved plot summary. (August 2019) |
The player's mission is to find the fountain of youth.
Development
The development process was both handmade and homemade - tapes were not manufactured until they had received enough orders to justify them ordering copies of the print covers and making duplicates of the cassette tapes. Originally they received a few tens of mail orders, but this later ballooned into several hundreds.[4]
Reception
El Mundo Del Spectrum wrote that despite its simplicity, the game "overflowed with magic and charm".[5] IGN recommended that players take out a paper and pencil to draw a map and avoid getting lost in the game's world.[6]
Legacy
The game was featured as part of FX Museum's official launch celebrating 30 years of their company's video games[7] - by this point, Dinamic Software had evolved into FX Interactive.[8]
