  • Runaway: A Road Adventure es una aventura gráfica tipo "señalar y clicar" su desarrollador es el estudio español Pendulo Studios. Fue originalmente el último videojuego distribuido por Dinamic Multimedia antes de su desaparición. Después, y hasta hoy en día, se encargaría de la distribución FX Interactive. Runaway: A Road Adventure cuenta con dos secuelas directas, Runaway 2: El Sueño de la Tortuga y Runaway 3: A Twist of Fate. Su historia nos pone en la piel de Brian Basco, un estudiante universitario de Física, que evita sin querer el asesinato por parte de la mafia de la testigo de una de sus torturas y ejecuciones. Gina, la chica que acaba de salvar, le cuenta a Brian la historia de un extraño crucifijo relacionado con el asesinato, lo que llevará a ambos en una trepidante aventura a lo largo de los Estados Unidos para tratar de resolver el misterio y escapar de la mafia. Tras su éxito con Hollywood Monsters en 1997, en 1998 Pendulo comenzó a desarrollar una aventura más lineal y con un guion más adulto, que mezcla magistralmente humor con drama. Inicialmente Runaway iba a contar con escenarios y personajes totalmente dibujados a mano, pero debido a problemas técnicos se decidió pasar a utilizar personajes modelados en 3D y renderizados con la técnica de sombreado plano. Runaway fue el primer éxito internacional de Pendulo Studios, lo que ayudó económicamente a la empresa que por aquel entonces no atravesaba buenos momentos. (es)
  • Runaway: A Road Adventure is a 2001 graphic adventure game developed by the Spanish company Pendulo Studios and published by Dinamic Multimedia. It follows the story of Brian Basco, an American college student on the run after he unwittingly saves a murder witness named Gina Timmins from assassination by the New York Mafia. Searching for clues about a mysterious crucifix linked to the murder, Brian and Gina embark on a cross-country journey through the United States while pursued by two Mafia hitmen. The player assumes the role of Brian and explores the game world while collecting items, solving puzzles and conversing with non-player characters. Inspired by the road movie genre and films such as Pulp Fiction and Raising Arizona, Pendulo Studios began Runaway in 1998. The team abandoned the nonlinear and parodical nature of its previous title, Hollywood Monsters, in favor of a more straightforward and adult-oriented approach that blended humor with drama. Runaway initially featured hand-drawn 2D graphics; production problems necessitated a switch, one year into development, to pre-rendered 3D characters with toon shading. The change caused major delays, exacerbated by a shortage of qualified character animators in Spain: the country's recovering game industry had a limited talent pool. Runaway's small core team of nine members was supported by part-timers and freelancers during development. Runaway was highly anticipated in Spain, and it won awards and positive reviews upon its July 2001 release. Early domestic sales were strong, but Runaway's distribution and international debut were scuttled when Dinamic Multimedia closed that September. Forced to downsize in response, Pendulo fought for roughly one year to buy back Runaway's rights; the developer finally secured global publishing deals during 2002 and 2003. DTP Entertainment and Focus Home Interactive had significant success with Runaway in Germany and France, respectively, and the game sold 600,000 units across Europe by 2006. Runaway was well-received by German publications such as PC Games, and a panel of journalists and industry figures in France named it one of 2003's best titles. Reviews in the United States were mixed. As Pendulo's first international hit, Runaway financially revitalized its developer. Pendulo built on the game's design and visual style in future projects, and became Spain's longest-running game developer by 2019. Although adventure games were in decline before Runaway's global release, publications in Germany, France and Spain reported that the game helped to reenergize its genre. Runaway has been named one of the best Spanish games and best adventure games of all time, but also cited as a polarizing title; in Germany, it inspired the popular term "Runaway Syndrome" to denote poor adventure game design. The game spawned two sequels—Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle (2006) and Runaway: A Twist of Fate (2009)—and formed a series that sold over 1.5 million units worldwide by 2010. Hidden Runaway, a spin-off, followed in 2012. (en)

Une suite est sortie fin 2006, Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle, et un troisième épisode, Runaway: A Twist of Fate, est sorti le 26 novembre 2009 et conclut la série. (fr)
