I happened across these two games listed with The Adventure Company, Dreamcatcher as the publisher on Amazon.com. I've since confirmed their North American release with The Adventure Company.

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.
Quote:
The Game
"Treasure Island" is an 3D adventure game based on the classic bestseller novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The game combines traditional, simple Point and Click controls and gameplay with breathtaking realtime 3D graphics and SFX. The quests range from simple switches, mini-games, item-combination etc. to complex logical and dialogue-driven tasks. The game's difficulty and dynamics are focused on fluid gameplay and superior entertainment.


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.

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! happydance

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.

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.

GabrielK

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

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 laugh 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).


I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

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.

Oh...Thanks, Ana...

I was looking at what her Quote here :::

"Dreamcatcher as the publisher on Amazon.com."

But Amazon is selling & taking Pre-orders Right think

Thank you GabrielK

Didn't think to check out Moby Games. Even though the translation is hard to understand I can get enough out of those German reviews and scoring to at least keep this game on my radar.

This is great news! I've been wanting The Book of Unwritten Tales for a long time now. My only concern is that my computer may not be able to play it.

Does anyone know what the specs are?
I have an XP system, P4 with hyperthreading, 3.2 with 2 Gig of Ram and an Nvidia 7900GS card.

Tried to find info on Amazon, Tac and Dreamcatcher, but couldn't even find the game on TAC and Dreamcatcher. sad

Edit: Nevermind, I finally found the specs and I CAN play it! This is one I will be getting as soon as it is released! yes
