Nobilis Games and Kheops Studios, have succeeded beautifully in giving us a pirate adventure of the highest order.

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," Jim Hawkins, the little kid of "apple barrel" fame, is all grown up, and summoned secretly to Treasure Island by none other than Long John Silver, himself! Jim must find the treasure before the buccaneers do!

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," Jim Hawkins, the little kid of "apple barrel" fame, is all grown up, and summoned secretly to Treasure Island by none other than Long John Silver, himself! Jim must find the treasure before the buccaneers do!

Pirates and plots abound, as do cannons and guns and ships and enigmas of all kinds. There is a beautiful, young girl and difficult puzzles, with a steep rock cliff to traverse, as well.

This game was a non-stop treat to play, and I advise all who read this review to play the game. You CANNOT pass this one up! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a fun filled adventure game with a beautiful setting. If you like those kind of games as much as pirate stories, this is perfect for you. You must find a secret treasure on a tropical Island which you have inherited from your former captain. behind you are some pirates who try to b steal the treasure.

The theme is somehow similar to "Return to Mysterious Island", however the aim is here to find a treasure here and not to be rescued from the island like in the other game. Show less

True Adventure Game
NO HOS HURRAY!!!
I found the game more Challenging than many point&click
as your items must be assembled or disassembled
For instance
If you think you need some gears
You will have to figure out what needs to be Disassembled
in order to find gears
The Game Really puts you in the story
I felt the Entire Gameplay that i was actually living the story
SO MUCH FUN!!

I struggled with this game at first, but it's so beautiful and original I kept trying. Now that I've got the hang of bringing the black stones together it's become a real favourite!

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME

STORYLINE
Ahoy! I'm Jim Hawkins, and I'm the only pirate Long John Silver ever trusted. Unfortunately, the more mutinous members of Silver's former crew have pirated my boat and locked me in the hold. While attempting to escape, Silver's parrot brings me an enigma, a list of clues in the form of a poem. Once I escape, I'll be off to explore Emerald Isle for Long John Silver's fabled treasure!

GAMEPLAY
This is a pure adventure game, so there are no hidden object scenes. (If BFG offered more like this, I would have kept up my membership.) Explore each and every scene for useful items, which can be stored in the giant 75-spot inventory, so there's no limit to what you can carry around with you.

Items can also be combined to create new items, or disassembled to reveal new parts. There's a lot of disassembling, then combining in new configurations, but every move is rational. There's none of the "use a table fork as a crowbar" nonsense that permeates HOPAs.

There are puzzles here and there—including an epically complex "boss" puzzle—and instructions are not needed at all. All the information and items needed to solve them can be found somewhere on the island. Then it's just a question of firing your neurons.

PRODUCTION
Graphics are realistic (given the 2006 release). Not being a fan of sea chanteys, I turned off the music. Voiceovers are professional and sound effects are realistic. For 2006, this is amazing production.

MECHANICS
Navigation is similar to Myst's; move the mouse to look around (and up and down), and click on the navigation arrows to move to the next scene. (Since you can rotate your viewpoint 360º, there's no backing up. To return to the previous location, turn around and click the arrow forward.)

EXPERIENCE
The storyline is eminently immersive with sufficient plot twists to prompt you to continue. Gameplay is intuitive, not linear, and integrated into the story beautifully. I really enjoyed the lack of hand-holding, hint buttons, and integrated walkthrough. Finishing the game without any of that help was immensely satisfying.

Note: The game worked perfectly with OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan).

For all the reasons listed above... Show less

I recommend this game!

Not a bad game. Played it long time ago but never rated it. The graphics are ok and the music is good. The puzzles are not hard and the game has a good plot. Good fun game and worth playing.

I quite liked this game despite finding it a bit too easy for my taste. It has a charming story, good graphics and fun to solve pirate themed puzzles.

The story, which is intended as a continuation of the novel "The Treasure Island", can be considered rather predictable. However, I think it may need to be a bit predictable in order to fulfil our expactations of what a pirate adventure should contain and to stay true to the spirit of the well known book. Besides, the story is presented in such a charming and pleasant way that I didn't care too much that parts of it felt a bit cliché.

The graphics are in general really good although I found that the game could have used a bit more character animation. Characters are in general standing or sitting around doing nothing whenever you look at them, presumably at least in part because it would have been more difficult to make the graphics necessary to show characters moving around and doing things, which sometimes detracted a bit from my immersion in the game. This is not a major problem however, in particular since most locations in the game are uninhabited anyway.

The puzzles are mostly rather easy but with a few a bit more challenging ones towards the end of the game. The game is also quite short. However, I enjoyed the game enough that I would consider replaying it sometime in the future when my memory of it has faded somewhat, which makes the short playtime somewhat less of a problem. Also, the puzzles were in general fun to solve even when they didn't provide me with very much of a challenge, in particular since the nature of many of the puzzles fitted the pirate theme of the game nicely.

In conclusion i would recommend the game to anyone who enjoys a good pirate story. Show less

I recommend this game!
