History

Their first work was the game Dráscula: The Vampire Strikes Back, a comedy adventure.[2]

In 1997 they made Ping Pong. In 1998 they made Mortadelo y Filemón: El Sulfato Atómico a graphic adventure based on the Spanish comic characters Mort & Phil and distributed by Grupo Zeta. It was successful and spawned similar games based on the characters.[3]

In 2000 they published El Tesoro de Isla Alcachofa a pirate adventure game which represented Alcachofa Soft's first effort entirely independently, without a publisher or external distributor.[4]

Other Mort & Phil-based games they made were Mortadelo y Filemón: Dos Vaqueros Chapuceros and Mortadelo y Filemón: Terror, Espanto y Pavor (2000), Mortadelo y Filemón: Operación Moscú and Mortadelo y Filemón: El Escarabajo de Cleopatra (2001), Mortadelo y Filemón: Balones y patadones and Mortadelo y Filemón: Mamelucos a la romana (2002) and Mortadelo y Filemón: Una Aventura de Cine (2003).

In 2008 they made Murder in the Abbey, an homage to La Abadía del Crimen.
