About this game

After heavy winds force your plane down over the Bermuda Triangle, you parachute onto the mysterious Emerald Isle. Legend says that no one returns—except perhaps the island’s ruler.

As you search for freedom, you must contend with deadly predators, peculiar natives, and other dangers. The game uses Level 9’s adventure system and accepts two- or three-word commands. On some systems, it includes more than 200 pictures.
