David Howse made some great games, including this one and Special Operations. |

Definitely....different! So, hats off to D.H. - the kind of game I wish I'd been skilful enough to program in the 80s. |

It's fantastic, but then I did write it!! |

An interesting game..which would only load on Friday 13th with a full blue moon on my atmos.
As a result I must have played it twice and it felt more like the "mysterious forbidden island with no access" to me.
The arcade games where ok and original, all I remember was the quicksand one. |

An unusual adventure game which contains many simple arcade games in it. Stranded on an island following a shipwreck, you have to find six treasures. Mainly played as a text adventure, certain locations require you to play a game to advance. While fun at first, the games can be become quite annoying when all you want to do is go somewhere else - as a result, careful planning is essential! |
