![Reviving Don Quixote: The Adventurous Journey of Hidalgo in Video Game Form]()
Reviving Don Quixote: The Adventurous Journey of Hidalgo in Video Game Form The absence of prominent video game adaptations of Don Quixote raises intriguing questions, especially considering its significance as a cornerstone of Western literature. Although the novel is among the most celebrated and widely read in history, modern interpretations remain scarce, prompting reflection on contemporary cultural biases in creative endeavors.
Notably, a best-selling game this year draws from the eminent Chinese classic, Journey to the West, which underscores the disparity in adaptation frequency compared to Cervantes' work. This phenomenon suggests underlying challenges or prejudices that may influence the development of games tied to local literary treasures.
