Not an adventure, as the packaging implies, but an amusing four-part puzzle-test for undemanding explorers. Those that have stumbled across an old ship's log before will know the scam.

While pursuing the log you discover that, somewhere deep in the Carribean, lies a magnificent treasure, the mysterious Java Star ruby. With nought but a tattered map as guide, you must organise an expedition, gather your resources and set off across the Atlantic.

Each part of the quest loads separately and naturally you're requested to complete each section in order. There are three levels of difficulty to choose from (although the differences between play are minimal) and enough stumpers to fill a wet Sunday afternoon.

Your journey climaxes with a modest slice of arcadia in which you dive beneath the ocean for the sunken ship. Although this transpires to be rather less than perilous, your oxygen quota is somewhat mean so care must be taken below the wreck's decks (watch out for those rotting hatches!).
