- Treasure Island
-
- This exciting game is based upon the classic adventure by Robert Louis
- Stevenson.
-
- First Jim Hawkins must avoid Blind Pew to board the good ship
- Hispaniola. Then he must avoid capture after hearing the crews
- mutinous plans. Once these challenges have been overcome the main game
- can be played on Treasure Island itself.
-
- The quest for the treasure starts at the stockade which the
- adventurers have built on the island. Then whilst tackling the evil
- murderous pirates Jim must find Ben Gunn's cave. The chase and search
- takes place upon an attractive ~Treasure Map~ which is displayed on
- the screen in sections. There are a total of sixty four sections to
- play through.
-
- Once Ben Gunn's cave has been found the treasure is located, and must
- be taken to the ship which is anchored in Blind Glass Cove, to
- complete the arcade adventure.
-
- At the end of each game a percentage score will be given which
- reflects the speed and fighting spirit with which that game was
- played. Treasure Island can be played time and time again to attempt
- to reach a 100% score, which represents total player perfection.
-
