Good graphics and sound effects for its time
A nostalgic experience for those who grew up playing classic platform games

The Map

Overall, Treasure Island is a classic platform game that offers an engaging and entertaining experience for those who enjoy exploration and puzzle-solving. The game’s graphics and sound effects are good for its time, and the storyline is fun and engaging. However, the gameplay can become repetitive and tedious over time, which may limit its appeal to some players. Despite its flaws, Treasure Island remains a nostalgic favorite for those who grew up playing classic platform games.

It has been ported also to ZX Spectrum and Commodore Plus4

Another Treasure Island but as Text/Graphic Adventure:

You roam vast areas of beach and greenery in search of treasure. The nostalgic atmosphere of the 1700, where Britain ruled the seas and exploration was innovation….

However the search for treasure was slightly hindered by the poorly programmed commands which meant simple instructions such as ‘find treasure’ , ‘use compass’, and ‘swim to large boat and sail home’ from making sense to our little friend the Commodore 64.

..and , for now, at the end :

Pirates of the Barbary Coast

Ship’s log:

“On returning to the ship from business in the port, I was informed that my ship was raided, and my daughter Katherine has been kidnapped by Bloodthroat the Pirate. He demands a ransom of
50,000 pieces of gold within thirty days or he will sell her into the harems of the Coast. Now I must raise the ransom, and try to rescue my beloved Katherine.”

You are a more or less peaceful man, which is why you are going to pay for your daughter’s release. But in order to pay the ransom you need to raise the money. Luckily you have a treasure map and you are a skilled merchant, so getting the gold should be an achievable goal. You begin the game in the port of Casablanca. You can select a destination to go to, or you can see what this port has to offer you. Generally all the ports are the same. There’s a merchant, a ship’s repair dock and a store. The main difference between the ports are the prizes of merchandise, so your main goal is to buy cheap and sell expensive. You start off with 5000 gold pieces and you need to add one more zero to that in order to see your daughter again.

Now sailing from port to port (you’ll see a map with available locations) you may also encounter enemy ships. If that’s the case you can either flee (the smarter option) or fight. Sometimes a fight is unavoidable.

The goal is to gather money, find the Pirate and get your daughter back. With some luck you can do it in about half an hour. The ports have fairly similar prices, so if you remember a few of them (what’s good to buy and what not) you won’t have trouble making money (hint I bet your history teacher never told you about the profitable cocoa-wool trade route between Casablanca and Algiers). The treasure island and the pirate captain will always be placed on the islands in the Atlantic ocean. So I’m not sure how often you’ll be replaying this game, since it has rather low replayability.

The game does, however, offer some action as well, not only trading. If you run across a ship you may choose to flee (usually you’ll be able to do so), or you may choose to fight.

If a fight is what you’re after, you must know how to use the cannons! You need to load them, you need to aim them and you need to fire them at the right time. All of this may be a bit tricky at first, but you’ll get the hang of it! Just remember that you need to put the powder in the cannon first! The good thing is that you can load several cannons. So when the enemy comes up to the first one and you miss, you’ll simply skip to the next loaded cannon and take better aim!
