Synopsis

Plot

Your adventure begins on Golden Reef Beach. You can see the sand, the ocean, a coconut and a sign. Aha! READ SIGN. Sign says: 'DROP *TREASURES* HERE'. Now where have I seen that before? Yes, folks, it's a treasure hunt. And it appears to be very strongly influenced by Scott Adams' Adventureland. Only the location is different.

The first treasure is close at hand, but the remaining treasures prove to be very elusive. Can you find them all? Just like Scott Adams' game, it ain't easy!

Notes

This adventure was originally published by R.J.F. Software and available direct from the author as advertised in Computer & Video Games, August 1984, p. 112. It was later published by Argus Press Software on Atari Computing tape magazine, issue 8.

A severely buggy, altered version by the name of The Treasure of Andromeda was created at some point. It was written to look like a Scott Adams game and even purports to be written by Scott Adams in compiled BASIC. This isn't true.
