  Description        : a quirky and entertaining adventure game

Lure of the Temptress was Revolution's very first adventure game and
work began on it in 1989, even before Revolution's inception as an
actual games development company. From the start our aim was to consider
the contemporary adventures of the day and then bring something new to
the genre. From this came the Virtual Theatre engine. VT allowed in-game
characters to wander around the gameworld indepently of each other,
living their own lives and doing their own thing. Another feature
allowed the player to give direct orders to Helper characters - in this
case Ratpouch - who would then go off to perform the task. These
technology concepts were certainly unique, though Revolution were not
sure how to develop them further in subsequent games. Nonetheless, the
result was a quirky and entertaining adventure game that kicked off
Revolution's fondness for characterisation and in-game humour.
.
Lure of the Temptress was originally released for ST, Amiga and PC.

I think it is OK to put the Spanish version in Debian's main archive.
I will mail to Revolution Software Ltd. to ask permission to pack the
