Get your shark repellant and scuba tanks ready. The underwater scenes in this
adventure are unforgettable. You'll run into a pirate, a mermaid, and some
hungry sharks in this colorful and unique treasure hunt. This is similar to
early Polarware and Scott Adams
titles. While these company's games were reasonably successful on Tandy's CoCo
computer, the IBM PC versions did not achieve the same level of success. While
the graphics are quite good at the time, the parser is quite primitive. The
games make up for this with well-written plot, fun characters, and some
clever puzzles. Bob Withers, co-creator of these games now offers them free
and their source codes as well. |
