Heh, I think most of the people on the Italian ng started learning
English to play The Hobbit, Twin Kingdoms Valley and later the Infocom
classics...

I'm sure there's a lot of stuff in Spanish, what I know for sure is that
there are at least a dozen worthwhile adventures in Italian. check out:

and especially
http://www.ifitalia.info/portale/m [...] .php?cid=9

you can start with "avventura", a translation of the old Adventure.
There's also a translation of the well-known Filaments. Among the other
original works, "Flamel", the short "artificiere", "Enigma", "Non sarà
un'avventura" and many others...
