THE ISLAND
Written by N. Smith (Crystal)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
After your plane crashed you have managed to swim to a conveniently placed island. Your task is to
escape, preferably alive and with the valuable treasure that is buried somewhere on the island.
Notes:
1. Playing this game is largely a mapping exercise. There are whole sections, which are superfluous
and/or lead to dead ends.
2. Death can be sudden and instantaneous or the result of the build up of damage caused by
snakebites, rock falls, explosions, etc. Use the STATUS command to check damage.
3. There are only seven objects that are needed to complete the adventure - the rest (and there are
many of them) are red herrings: TORCH, KEY, OIL, HALF A WAND, HALF A WAND, RAFT and ROPE.
4. Doesn't understand examine.
