''La abadía del crimen'' (''The Abbey of Crime'') is a computer video game programmed in 1987 by Paco Menéndez. The game was originally conceived as a version of Umberto Eco's book ''The Name of the Rose''. However, Paco Menéndez and Opera Soft received no reply from Eco in order to secure the rights for the name, so the game was released as ''La abadía del crimen''. The graphics were made by Juan Delcán. This game is a videoadventure with 3D isometric graphics, where a Franciscan monk, Fray William of Occam (William of Baskerville in the book) and his young novice Adso of Melk have to discover the perpetrator of a series of murders in a medieval Benedictine abbey. ==Gameplay== The player controls the movement of Fray William. The player has also the possibility to control the movement of the novice Adso within the same screen in which Fray William is. If the key for controlling the novice is not pressed he follows Fray William most of the time. The game features other characters representing the monks of the Benedictine abbey who behave according to programmed artificial intelligence to move throughout the mapping of the abbey and show a series of dialogs shown by written text which is moved along the lower part of the screen. An extensive mapping of the abbey is represented in a large series of screens with 3D isometric graphics. A series of objects has to be collected in order to successfully complete the game. The action occurs in seven days subdivided in different Canonical hours. The time (day + current hour) is indicated at the bottom left of the screen. The game starts with the abbot welcoming Fray William and explaining that a monk has disappeared. He also explains to Fray William that he is obligated to obey the orders of the abbot and the rules of the monastery: attend religious services and meals and stay in his cell at night while the research of the crimes is pursued. During the game the novice Adso will remind players when they have to attend offices and meals, and players can just follow him if they forget the way to the church or the refectory. If players disobey any orders, or are late for services, etc., then their ''obsequium'' level, indicated on the bottom right-hand-side of the screen, will drop (''obsequium'' is Latin for ''subservience'' or ''obedience''). Once this ''obsequium'' level drops to zero, the abbot will not tolerate their disrespect any longer, and players will have to leave the abbey. This would result in the game being over. Some actions, such as missing a prayer office altogether or being caught wandering around at night, result in immediate expulsion and the end of the game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Abadía del Crimen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
