Hi, I was able to use the jaws7 virtualise window function to capture a few of the screens of the island game. I think it'd be best if a windows version of the game could be made. Jaws doesn't read the DOS screens right or is slow at reading them.

This time you'll be exploring a tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean in search of eleven treasures. You must first locate each of the treasures and then find the secret place where the treasures must be stored. Twenty points are awarded for each properly stored treasure. Once a treasure has been stored it can not be retrieved. There are 240 possible points (this includes 20 bonus points that are awarded for three particularly difficult tasks). The game will end when you reach the 240 point plateau.

The word 'go' is not needed. You can also use function keys 1-4 for these directions. Use only one or two word commands. A few commonly used commands that you will find useful are look, get, take, drop, and inventory. You need only type the first three letters of any command for the program to understand what you are saying. For instance, the command 'DROP PISTOL' can be typed as 'DRO PIS'. The FIX command will fix the screen display in case the screen becomes distorted for any reason. The adventure understands about 50 commands in all. The function keys have been programmed with some useful adventure commands. Press <spacebar> to continue graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE Some words to the wise... 1) The majority of the 11 treasures have other uses. Be careful when you store a treasure, you can't get it back! 2) Be sure to examine everything you find. 3) Be on the lookout for hidden messages. 4) Remember that some of the treasures are secretly hidden. This is an adventure after all! 5) If more than four objects are at a location, the <more> message will be displayed in the visible object window, meaning you can't see everything that is around you at once. You can move objects around to get a look at everything. 6) The only way to find all 11 treasures is by successive movements, that is, one command must be used before another command becomes useful. 7) Watch out for the headhunters. You never know when they will show up! Press <spacebar> to continue graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE Some words to the wise... 8) You have a limited amount of time to find all the treasures. A huge storm is heading your way on the island, and if it hits before you find all the treasures, the game will end. 9) If one set of words in a command doesn't seem to be working, try another combination. The vocabulary the adventure program understands is limited, and words that may make sense to you might not make sense to the adventure. 10) GOOD LUCK and HAPPY ADVENTURING!
