Yenght is the first game of Dinamic Software, and the first graphic adventure game published in the Spanish market.

Plot

The player's mission is to find the fountain of youth.

Development

The development process was both handmade and homemade - tapes were not manufactured until they had received enough orders to justify them ordering copies of the print covers and making duplicates of the cassette tapes. Originally they received a few tens of mail orders, but this later ballooned into several hundreds.[2]

Reception

El Mundo Del Spectrum wrote that despite its simplicity, the game "overflowed with magic and charm".[3] IGN recommended that players take out a paper and pencil to draw a map and avoid getting lost in the game's world.[4]

Legacy

The game was featured as part of FX Museum's official launch celebrating 30 years of their company's video games[5] - by this point, Dinamic Software had evolved into FX Interactive.[6]
