    The Revolution of the Spanish Videogame Industry

    The concept of the golden age of Spanish video games has always been associated with the 1980s, microcomputers, and 8-bit games; until now. With the emergence of digital markets and the indie boom, the Spanish video game industry has exploded, reaching levels of quality and international success that were unthinkable before. A growth that began at the beginning of the last decade and seems to have reached its peak during the past 2023; a year that, for many players, is the best in our industry in terms of quantity and quality.
