Yes Abadia Del Crimen was a huge success and a great technical achievement at the time of the release. It still has a huge fan base all over the world - not bad considering the game was only released in Castilian Spanish.
Antonio Giner of
http://www.abadiadelcrimen.com/ who did the 32 bits remake is working on a multi language version of the game for some time - and that will definitely see the light of day (I should know because I did the Portuguese translation).
Meanwhile I highly encourage you to get an MSX emulator and try Manuel Pazos color remake at:
