Game-a-day #77..."Treasure Island"

As a kid this was by far my favorite text adventure.  Although it is almost all text,  it has quite a bit of artwork, sound effects and even a little music.  So for a text adventure "Treasure Island" is fancy.  This game also keeps pretty well with the actual book (by Robert Louis Stevenson), so you might even call it educational.  I love all things Treasure Island.  One of my all time favorite movies is the 1934 version with Jackie Cooper, I just read the book (and love it), I even like the casino in Vegas, so this game is easy for me to enjoy.  All that bias under consideration "Treasure Island" is a good play, and if you like a good text adventure the puzzles are fun and it's easy to solve.  So out to sea!  Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!  Forget "Pirates of The Caribbean", this is the original pirate story.
