You play the part of Nails O'Riley, who calls himself a 'professional risk-taker'. You have been employed by Professor Pip Sigourney, a professor from the local university, who has discovered evidence of an ancient civilization with a technology superior to ours. Your assignment is to go to a small island off the coast of Africa and verify the existence of this civilization.
The adventure starts in your cabin aboard the 'Sea Hammer', just off the island's coast. A storm has popped up out of nowhere and you must find a way off the boat and onto the island before it crashes into the rocks. Once on the island, you will have to find a way home. Finding evidence of the ancient civilisation is now the least of your worries. Although, maybe their advanced technology will help you find a way home...
