I think that there is a game called: Destination: Treasure Island that is not the same as Tresure Island. And one of these (Destination: Tresure Island) has been released in Germany? I think.


Adventure gaming is fun smile

Karsten -- Destination: Treasure Island has been released in several countries, including the US. It's something of a sequel to the plot in Treasure Island (the book). You can read the GameBoomers review of Destination: Treasure Island here.

Treasure Island (the game TAC will be publishing) has been released in Germany, and (as far as I know) only in Germany so far.

There was also Muppet Treasure Island, which was an entertaining children's PC game based on the Muppet's movie version of Treasure Island (the book).

There may be even more game versions that I haven't stumbled across yet. laugh

Mad and Greyfuss, I have also had confirmation that the Treasure Island I ordered is the game we have been discussing here and not a book.
My order is being processed and will let you know the outcome, and yes! heads will roll or someone will be walking the plank and saying 'hallo' to Davy Jones if it turns out to be a book or worse still, some kind of pirate version. scared

Woah, initial impression was that it looked too wow to me (er, rpgs? dunno! XD) but the concept art is off the hook!! I love Critter, and the design of the unwritten tales website is so cool. (:

Treasure Island is very POTC-- the second in command w/the strange patterns on his skin and a Barbossa looking character. One of the guys looks like James Norrington to me too. Still, I probably am not going to pick that one up, unless I hear good things. razz

Thanks for the info!

"I hope so too Upsydaisy. Is it for sure that it is the English release?"

The game I was sent turned out to be the German release - even though this was NOT mentioned anywhere in the advert - and the advert and the site were both totally in English mad

My response was to send an email conveying my disgust and annoyance and to return the game .... pronto .... and I have since received a full refund.

Ok, so someone please confirm this:
Is this Treasure Island the GERMAN version?

@Mad - you were talking about Treasure Island, right?
