Synopsis

Plot

Smuggling on the Isle of Wight has been carried on since the 14th century. Every village and hamlet played its part in the Free Trade Enterprise.

You are intrigued by the article written by Dr Preston-Smith in The Times. A strange story but one that has changed little over the years.

You decide to travel to the Isle of Wight to try and unravel this centuries old mystery.

Notes

Seemingly unfinished in the 1980s, part one of the game (and some code from part two) was recovered and made available in 2022.

Although Roy Dainty's previous game was published by Wrightchoice Software, this game refers to Wightchoice Software which seems to be a deliberate choice as its used both on the loading screen and in the game itself. Possibly reflecting both the original potential publisher and Roy (who was based on the Isle of Wight) planning to release the adventure himself.
