Mysterious Island
Virgin Sounds and Vision
1996
3rd person interactive cartoon adventure
Story
Tomas, Lily and Will meet at the amusement park and decide to take a hot
air balloon ride even though there is a storm and the ride is "officially"
closed. Will convinces the Pilot (you) to take them up anyway and
naturally your balloon gets hit by lightening and lands on a mysterious
volcanic island.
Puzzles
Puzzles are few - it's more of a click and watch the characters move and
talk type of game. The ones that are there are of the figure out the
pattern to raise a rock bridge, put statues in the right hole to open a
door, figure out how to get past a very large snap dragon - that sort of
thing. A couple of inventory items to pick up but you never use them so
I'm not sure why you bothered.
The game is very much geared towards kids - I'd say between 5 and maybe 9
or 10 (and that might be pushing it). The characters talk to you - ask you
which direction they should go, what cave to enter first, how should you
get past this animal, that sort of thing. Younger kids will probably get a
kick out of that. But there is a big dinosaur that pops up at one point
and could scare a little one.
