Thank you Becky

I wonder if Treasure Island is this one from Radon Labs that seems to be forgotten until now. There is a German Trailer and a German Demo available here...

Treasure Island

It is Point and Click as this states at the Radon Labs website.

I also wonder if this game was released a while ago (2008) in Germany by HMH Interactive as there is a patch listed on the games site. Could be there are some German reviews out there. Glad to see the Adventure Company still going strong and signing up more games.

That's a wonderful news Becky!
I too hope that the Treasure Island is the one by Radon Labs, and I can't wait to play Book of Unwritten Tales!
Hopefully Dave will get them for us soon

I sent him the headsup, so I'm sure he'll get them.

Book of Unwritten Tales is a real Treasure

Did you play it Darleen?

I have just ordered Treasure Island from Amazon UK. They only had two left in stock. Apprently the game is out here already.
The game is by Diverse. Do the developers have 2 publishers, Diverse in the UK and Dreamcatcher in the US?

If you are quick Carla, you can get the last one!!

Wow, I'm surprised to hear this, as I hadn't heard any news of these games being released in English. This is excellent news! These games were both on my list!

Have just checked Amazon Uk and it is £24.66 + p & p, so I might wait until it comes down in price, interestingly there is one company offering it at £29/£39 and shipping from the US available now!??

Book of Unwritten Tales is a real gift and a fine example of a modern graphic adventure set in a fantasy realm with a big bow on top, especially when it comes to humour.
Loved the german version (good text, female lead spoken by Terry Hatcher's german "voice").

Hope the english version is equal in it's quality.

Treasure Island is good in the beginning, but had a lot of graphical issues and I remember a very frustrating boat-ride, which forced a friend of mine to uninstall the game, because ist was too difficult, himself being quite an experienced player.

Upsydaisy

When I checked Amazon.UK the listing sure enough was for the Video game that we are talking about but when reading the descriptions from the sellers including the one for sale used they all said it was a book. Is Diverse a book publisher as it looks as though HMH Interactive may be the European distributor for Treasure Island and The Book of Unwritten Tales.

Thanks for the info. Do you know of any links to a German review that can be translated with Babblefish for Treasure Island?

No , Ana

I did not play it....I called it a real treasure because from what I see of the screenshots & what people are saying...Its got to be a real treasure to play...

Treasure Island Looks Great as well....

Is there any info on that game here at Boomers....I must of missed it Or forgot

I am playing The Book of Unwritten Tales at the moment, in German because I could not wait for the English version to be released Bought it back in August when I was in Cologne for the GamesConvention. So far, I am enjoying myself a lot with it, although it seems a bit on the easy side (which is fine by me, considering German is not my first language - might have had difficulties understanding what was going on otherwise).

We used to carry a link to Treasure Island in the Recent Releases and Upcoming Games page, but months passed without any news of the game, so we eventually took it down.

There's more than one Treasure Island game -- this one is not to be confused with Destination: Treasure Island, for instance.

I'm waiting for confirmation from TAC that the Radon Labs Treasure Island game is the one they're publishing.

For links to reviews of Treasure Island (I'm assuming the reviews will mostly be in German) visit Adventure Archiv, click on "Ti-Tz" in the alphabetical listings near the top of the web page, and then scroll down to Treasure Island.

Becky !!!! Thank you for that wonderful news

[I already have Treasure Island ordered from Amazon UK and my receipt definitely calls it a PC game - so if I am sent a book, heads will most definitely roll !! ]

Cheers.
