Sorry, my goof on this one... it was called Phantis originally. Lorna was a
game by Topo based on a comic book. Really great graphics (gameplay was a
little lacking).

Nah, unfortunately I'm out on that one.

But this didn't happen till the early 90's and by then the spanish software
market was on the way out, with Opera closing down, as well as Made In
Spain. Dinamic almost completely stopped making games after Arctic Moves
and I haven't heard what happened to Topo after they released Voyage to the
Center of the Earth (great game).

I remember that column, it gave me my intro to rpgs (we didn't have them in
Argentina). Spain was to my knowledge a little behind the rest of Europe in
upgrading out of the 8-bit generation. MicroMania didn't start reviewing
Amiga games till about 90 or 91 did they?
