Synopsis
Calling Nassau Tower... this is an emergency... we cannot see land... repeat... we cannot see land... we are not sure where we are ... can you help?
Assume bearing to be due West.
We are unable to be sure which way is West...
everything looks strange... something is frightfully wrong ... even the sea doesn't look right...
The message ended there, cut off by a burst of static. The Bermuda Triangle had claimed another victim.
Now somebody has to go and investigate, see if any wreckage can be found. You are that somebody.
Everything is fine until you pass over Berry Island, then things start to go badly wrong... You are going to find yourself in another dimension; a place where you will have to be prepared to face the unexpected.
Will you be able to de-program the Atlantian's Anomaly Transmitter, the cause of such havoc in our own era? Can you evade capture and return alive to the world of mankind?

All original editions of this game are fatally bugged. Not only the game can't be completed, but the very first puzzle can't even be solved. Some game logic is also missing, so the game is obviously unfinished. I have produced a fixed and minimally complete version that at least can be played to the end. The game is terrible, in any case, and I was more amused by fixing the code than by finding how to finish the adventure.
