Synopsis

There you were, minding your own business, enjoying a luxury cruise in the Bahamas, when tragedy struck! Someone had forgotten not to detonate a bomb somewhere in the deepest depths of the ship, and before anyone could say "Amiga-Computing-It's-The-One-For-Me", there was a hole in the hull the size of a large doughnut and the ship was sinking.

"Everyone out," someone cried. "Women and children first." There was the splash of bodies landing in the sea. "No, hang on. Lifeboats first. Oh well."

But the ship was still sinking. You managed to make your way to a lifeboat and rowed away from the huge liner just as it disappeared beneath the deep blue ocean, never to be seen again.

For sixty-five days and nights you rowed, living off splinters of wood and sea water. The lifeboat provided little in the way of life-saving equipment - just an old rucksack, but you put it on anyway.

Then the sharks came and ate your boat. You swam for your life but went under and blacked out. After that everything went a bit swimmy...

...And then you awoke. Not in the digestive system of a huge fish, but, against all probability, on the shores of an island. And that's where your adventure began...
