Sure, if we mention the words ‘Marbella Vice’, you might think of that ‘GTA Online’<\/a> server created by Ibai a couple of years ago. But the truth is, there’s a hidden history of video games<\/strong> that requires us to go much further back, when \u00c1lex de la Iglesia wasn’t even in his thirties, Santiago Segura hadn’t even thought of the name “Torrente,” and video games were very different from what they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n

Patrolling Marbella<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may remember FMV games, which were supposed to revolutionize everything back in the day: they consisted of video sequences in which you could play at certain moments (for example, shooting some coins or villains). Some did it well, like the classic ‘Dragon’s Lair.’ Others, not so much. In Spain, it was<\/strong> Picmatic, the company that ventured into this with ‘Los justicieros,’ a classic directed by Enrique Urbizu<\/strong> that even sold two hundred arcade machines to the United Kingdom. If you’ve played it, the word “Bullets!” surely came to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the success of the western genre, light-years away from ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’<\/a> (obviously), Picmatic decided it was time to commission the next game to a new director famous for his short film ‘Mirindas asesinas’ and who was about to shoot a film titled ‘Mutant Action.’<\/strong> \u00c1lex de la Iglesia, who knew what he was doing, took a vacation in Marbella with his friends Santiago Segura and \u00c1lex Angulo, and there he filmed ‘Marbella Vice.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
