Finding yourself on an island, graphically illustrated, your task is to
accumulate Rubloons in an attempt to buy a boat and escape. However, each man
in your party consumes food every time you move, and each village can only be
visited once. Tough stuff, huh? Wait till you come across one of the strange
animals lurking in the jungle!
Each one sets you a task which is represented by a graphic game such as dodge the
crocs, the secretive koala bear, the gambling gorilla, and would you believe, a
kicking sheep? You accumulate 500 Rubloons per man for each task successfully
completed, but lose a man if you fail. There are 10 such challenges.
Graphics are reasonable, though a little crude, but it's difficult to cram 10 games
and a master program into 48K in glorious colour. The charm undoubtedly lies in the
animal challenges, which require intelligence, dexterity and fast reactions. There
is a practice mode.
One of the few programs that might exercise your intellect and still be fun!
