My first introduction to Adventure games was via the Scott Adams "text only" games, and how I wished for something with some visuals! This particular game fulfills this dream and is a sequel to Pirate Adventure.

Starting with a rather strange jumbled image from the inside of a boat, the object is to locate thirteen hidden treasures and deposit them in a secret place to obtain points.

Scott's humour is liberally sprinkled throughout the game which has interesting visual locations for you to become confused in. There are also clues for those who have not played Pirate Adventure, so you can get straight in at the deep end, so to speak. If you have a printer, there are options to use this to plan moves and partly played games can be saved to cassette, or, if you are more fortunate, disc drive.

Making a map of your movements will aid your travels in the search for treasures, but don't forget that some of the clues are in the graphics, which give very good perspective views.

To those of you who like a little more than the text adventures offered for the TI - take a serious look at this one.
