Hey,

You probably get this heaps, i'm after an game from around the time of 1995(ish) where you have to navigate an island and search for treasure, i remember that to escape the first island and get to the second island you could either find the hidden submarine or build a hang glider from materials found around the island, i cant remember much else except it had color graphics but you could use text commands or hotkeys(F1-F12) to do things.

If anyone knows the name of this game it would be great, just cant stop thinking about it, its driving me crazy.....

Thanks
Matt

ok, if no one can recall that game, can anyone tell me the name of a game similar to it? ie text commands like "go north", "use knife" etc with graphics and possibly sound in which you must solve some sort of puzzle or escape an island etc.

Thanks any help would be great, im getting sick of the black screen of zork.

Well there's a game like that I think it's called Hugo's House of Horrors or something. I'm not sure about an island, though I remember giving text commands. I think there's even a windows version.
