THE ISLAND
(Crystal Computing)
ZX Spectrum 48K

The ultimate test of logic and deduction! Can you solve the hidden
mysteries of the South Pacific island on which you have been stranded
- and escape alive! A brilliant classic style adventure game to
fascinate and frustrate you for months!


At the very heart of the "Ring of Fire", the chain of volcanoes that
border the Pacific Ocean, is the tip of a once mighty volcano known
simply as "The Island". Looking deceptively innocent on the map, The
Island is known to have claimed the lives of many heroic explorers who
have dared to try to reveal its secrets.

But what are the secrets of The Island? Many dark legends make up its
history - legends of ancient civilisations, magnificent temples and
mystical forces; the very stuff of exploration. And yet what drives
you onward in this most perilous quest are the stories of a fortune -
a magnificent hoard of treasure which is said can be found deep
within. In all your years of exploration never have the stakes been so
high.

But as you leave the runway on your first reconnaissance flight, up
into the ominous grey skies, you can hardly imagine the fate which
will befall you - as you near your destination, your plane plunges
into a fierce electrical storm. Now, with your instruments and radio
dead, your last recollection is of the altimeter spinning frantically
round: 1500 feet ... 1000 ... 500 ...
