Treasure Island
This exciting game is based upon the classic adventure by Robert Louis
Stevenson.
First Jim Hawkins must avoid Blind Pew to board the good ship
Hispaniola. Then he must avoid capture after hearing the crews
mutinous plans. Once these challenges have been overcome the main game
can be played on Treasure Island itself.
The quest for the treasure starts at the stockade which the
adventurers have built on the island. Then whilst tackling the evil
murderous pirates Jim must find Ben Gunn's cave. The chase and search
takes place upon an attractive ~Treasure Map~ which is displayed on
the screen in sections. There are a total of sixty four sections to
play through.
Once Ben Gunn's cave has been found the treasure is located, and must
be taken to the ship which is anchored in Blind Glass Cove, to
complete the arcade adventure.
At the end of each game a percentage score will be given which
reflects the speed and fighting spirit with which that game was
played. Treasure Island can be played time and time again to attempt
to reach a 100% score, which represents total player perfection.
CONTROLS
Jim Hawkins is moved using a joystick or by the keyboard where Q or A
are up and down, O or P move left or right.
Just avoiding the pirates is not enough to ensure success. You must
perfect a technique that involves getting close to a pirate so that he
throws a cutlass at Jim. You must move swiftly out of the cutlass'
path to avoid injury.
To pick up a weapon or treasure Jim must be moved over the object. To
throw a cutlass Jim must first be moved in the direction required then
the fire button or M pressed.
Pressing H will pause the game. Pressing T will terminate pause.
Holding both B and T down together will restart the game.
