  I got interested by this thread (mostly by this guy's strange Spanish-Russian name :) ), googled a bit and now I can confirm that he exists :)
  
  Here are more suspected games by him:

  Khazzad-Dum loading screen has been made by Konstandin Igor Ruiz.

  
  This has been corrected.

  Out of this list, I found Tour 91 was likely his (we just had a "Igor" listed), but I'm not sure whether the other games he is listed for are Spectrum versions (all of them seem to say CPC in the page heading).

  I've contacted Kostandin Igor Ruiz by email and he kindly agreed to provide a bit of information about his works.
  
  First of all, his real name is Kostandin, not Konstandin.
  
  He has made graphics for:
  Angel Nieto Pole 500
  Poli Diaz
  Rescate en el Golfo
  Sirwood
  Tour 91
  Mundial de futbol
  Soviet (loading screen by Kostandin, in-game graphics and programming by David Lopez Guaita)
  
  Golden basket (signature of Queral is wrong, loading screen is in fact made by Kostandin, no ideas for why the signature is there)

  Now there is an interesting part. Kostandin claims that he has been working on

  Yes, you are right, also created scrs for other opera soft games like soviet,mundial de futbol,golden basket or z80 coversions like Budoka, SilkwormIV ,Double Dragon III..

  I asked for some details:

  This was conversions from PC, atari or amiga to Z80 ..and yes there was zx spectrum versions it was licenced and published in spain by Dro or virgin software..maybe only published in spain??
  do not remember about intro scrs but I remember I created and frankensteined sprites so the animations from 68000 or 8086 devices can fit into small z80 devices..

  Does anybody have any idea about what versions is he speaking about?

  WoW!! Thats a lot of info, well done Moroz! :)
  
  I actually didnt know that Igor worked for Opera, thats a very interesting info!
  About Golden Basket, I think the loading screen in WoS is correct, so I dont know what that "Queralt" can mean. MAybe he worked for Amstrad versions or MSX?
  
  About the Dro Soft games, wow, it sounds interesting!
  
  These games could be the ones he means, because they are conversions from 16bits:

  http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0002674
  
  but the SwiVI and Double Dragon III...wow, can that be true?? :o Could they be also CPC or MSX versions?? (as it happened with Double Dragon I, which was developed in Spain by Animagic for the CPC...)

  Corrections have been made, apart from the latter conversions, as this is a bit too unclear at the moment.
