Radon Labs puts some innovative polish on this unexpectedly sophisticated version of Treasure Island. Follow Jim Hawkins as he puts out to sea looking for treasure and for something that is perhaps even more valuable...

Thanks Becky for the great review!

I am just getting ready to finish up Destination Treasure Island, a different game and if it wasn't for MaG's walkthrough, and the BFG walkthrough, I would be lost, lost, lost. All the taking apart and putting together, no mechical mind here lol

Looking forward to checking this one out, hoping it has more straight inventory!

Thanks everyone!

Koalanut -- yes the inventory in Treasure Island is less complex than in Destination: Treasure Island. Two very different games -- the contrast is interesting.

The events in Treasure Island take place years before the events in Destination: Treasure Island, in case you didn't know. wave

Becky,

Great review and very well written. Unfortunately for me, the game wouldn't play on my computer. I loaded it on XP and it took forever to load and to change scenes. Jim'a movements were very slow and jerky. I tried turning off things but it didn't help. This is the first game in quite awhile that I have had trouble playing. Most games load and play without a hitch. I must be the only one who has had trouble with it and I am not sure what is causing the problem. I am disappoitnted because I was really looking forward to playin this game. Anyway, I enjoyed your review and it really made me wish I could play it. Good job!
