Booty

Well, shiver me timbers and splice the mainbrace and pass the grog, me hearties. Here be the greatest pirate adventure of them all, aboard that scourge of the Seven Seas - the dreaded Black Galleon. Feast yer eyes on the "Booty" - ful treasure stored in 20 holds. There be pirates, parrots and fun galore. If you don't like it, matey, we'll hang ye by the highest yard-arm!!

The Game

Jim the Cabin Boy must make his way below decks to collect various items of booty (automatically picked up when he walks past it) strewn around the ship.

When you have collected all the items from the Black Galleon's 20 holds, you will be given 45 seconds to locate the Bronze key to the next pile of booty. Clearing all booty a second and third (impossible!) time causes a search or the Silver and Gold keys, each increasing the game's speed and hazards.

Jim will meet an untimely death if he falls through a trap door, drowns, is bitten by a ship's rat, or pecked by one of the Captain's parrots, or cut down by a Ghost Pirate, or blown up (some pieces of booty are booby-trapped so step lively, mates) or steps through a hold door into mid-air (heh! heh!).

Playing The Game

You may press any key to start or wait for a demonstration. Select keys or joystick. You can define your own keys for left, right, up, down and enter hold.

Jim the Cabin Boy picks up keys by walking into them. Cabins are numbered and can only be entered by using the matching key.

To transfer to a different hold (another screen), press the Enter Hold key (or Fire on your joystick) while Jim is standing directly in front of the hold door.
