The Adventures of Buratino (Russian: Приключения Буратино) is a 1993 arcade adventure game created by Russian developer Copper Feet and published by Compact-Studio.[2] It was available on the ZX Spectrum 48K/128K,[3] and was the first arcade adventure game released in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.[4]
The game is based off the story of the fairy tale The Golden Key, or The Adventures of Buratino by famed Russian writer Aleksey Tolstoy, as well as the story of Pinocchio. Themes of these stories are incorporated into the game, where the main character, Burantino, is a wooden boy who was cut from a log by an old organ grinder named Carlo.[5]
In terms of gameplay, the Russian gaming magazine Romomania says "the player will encounter an interesting labyrinth, a fascinating plot, a small set of quest items, some Russian text and an arcade chase in the finale." It also describes the music, written by Alexey Mednonogov, as simple but decent and including sound similar to that of a hurdy-gurdy. The graphics are impressive for the Spectrum, and the game is in full color.[1]
