>Well, as far as I know, he only did covers for Dinamic games.
I had never thought of that, you're most probably right.
>Other games he did covers for include:
>AMC
>Capitan Trueno (one of my all time favorite Spanish games)
>Game Over 2 (which was just the English release of Lorna)
Do you know if it has the same box drawing? I'm willing to collect all
"Luis Royo" boxes.
>Hundra
>Narco Police
>Cozumel (not sure about the sequel games)
Cozumel was a text adventure with static graphics, wasn't it? I remember
reading that it was really good.
>Now I'm almost certain he also did the covers for the following games, but

I had a site handy with dozens of Royo pics, but I seem to have misplaced
the URI.
>Comando Tracer
>La Aventura Original
>La Guerra de las Vajillas
>Jabato
>Rescate Atlantida
Remembering the box of Jabato, I'd say you're right again, but I don't
remember the boxes for the others. I would dig my old "Micro Mania" mags,
but I threw most of them away...

Royo.
Aspiri... that name rings a bell. What else did he do, besides Dinamic
boxes?
>And for those uninitiated in the 80's Spanish software market (one of the

:)
The spanish market in the 80s was absolutely fantastic. Just a pity they
didn't make any RPGs. But the "slightly graphical" version of the Original
Adventure, and Cozumel, and some of the arcade games that you mentioned
were really good.
