[size=140]STORY

That afternoon, Dogmole was completely bored. He had just polished his skiff with good ol' Aladdin iron wool, organized alphabetically his huge collection of Spectrum games, and counted for the third time all those artifacts and relics he had obtained from past adventures. How I miss a bit of action! – sighed Dogmole. He was really fond of dangerous raids, finding some valuable artifact, and speaking about them in the pub afterwards, where he was the main interest and got to drink pennyroyal mint tea and picked anchovies for free.

But he had already traveled the world getting treasures in castles, catacombs and deep caves. Were there any challenges left for him to overcome?. Thoughtful, he laid down in his underpants on the sofa with the TV remote control in one hand and a watermelon-flavoured "Tico Tico" in the other. With absent look he jumped from channel to channel in the TV, until something caught his attention ... We Interrupt this broadcast to offer a last-minute bulletin!. Dogmole lazily opened one eye...[/size]



[size=140]It's been reported that in the deep jungle of  "Hamto-mar porshako" (province of Badajoz) the sorcerers of the Orujo Clan have profaned the ancient temple of the goddess Vah-ka, and they have stolen the idols of the sacred altar! Since then, the area is being struck with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as the goddess Vah-ka is very angry – Many believe that if the idols are not returned to the altar, this could be the end of the world!
At this point Dogmole already had both eyes open and had almost eaten all his Tico Tico.

It's quite possible that tomorrow won't see the light of the day, dear viewers – and just for 15 miserable and incredibly rare, legendary, solid-gold idols, big as beach balls... Now Dogmole was really interested!. He would save the world from destruction and, while he was at it, once he had recovered the idols he would just change them for cheap chinese reproductions painted gold and keep the original for himself (What about that? You know, watermelon flavoured Tico-Tico's are not for free!). Dogmole set up his specially-designed to carry golden idols backpack, picked up his boots to jump higher, his plush adventurer hat and left home on his way to the workshop where his seaplane was getting repaired.

Finally an adventure worthy of me -, said the old Dog with a lopsided grin...[/size]



[size=140]THE GAME

Help Dogmole retrieving the 15 stolen idols, and return them to the altar to appease the wrath of Vah-ka. But be careful, it's won't be easy!. The 20 sorcerers, using their arcane arts, have obstructed access to the altar. Before being able to access it, you must eliminate them all. Even more, the idols have been scattered all aorund the area, and besides that, the sorcerers have invoked their evil henchmen from the underworld and have set them to guard the idols. Minotaurs and living skeletons will make it hart to retrieve the idols, as they are so heavy that you can only carry one at a time to the altar. And some advice... don't be hasty in your actions. It is essential to take it slow, study the enemy movements and act at the right time. That's the only to success![/size]

That is awesome...

[Sokurah]

I looks fantastic. I wish I had their talent at drawing and designing.

That being said I am a bit tired of the Mojon Twins' Churrera engine. It's a well polished engine...but everything made using it just looks so same-same.

I agree they do look very samey at times but still 100 times better than i could do lol.
