|  Treasure Island X Rated!
I don't know if this is just my perverted mind but when I play Treasure Island these days and our little hero friend happens to walk across the screen with a knife in his hand. For some reason, it reminds me of something perhaps a little bit more dirtier. But hey, it could just be me! Try the game and see what I mean!

No... dont spoil a good game. You pick up what looks to be a sword so lets keep it at that.

Talking about Treasure Island... I downloaded the game from this site after reading good reviews and tried to play it using YAPE. However, I haven't got a joystick, so could someone tell me how to play this game using the keyboard? Are there any instructions on the net? Thanks in advance for your input!

You can enable Joy emulation (via PC keyboard) under Yape.

You can choose from YAPE's input setup either keypad arrow keys or the normal cursor keys, with the 0/Ins key (on the keypad) for Fire in either mode.
Also, press Alt+J to switch joystick ports if needed.

Sorry Lando, you made me laugh!
On a serious note with the game. Try completing it as normal to the point you get the treasure and the pirate runs after you in some camp fashion. Well try this, make sure you have a knife on you at the time the pirate runs after you and if you throw the knife at him, it leaves a graphical mess on the screen at the point you killed him.
I still don't think that's a knife he's holding ...and as for the sound effect on Number Builder when the cash goes into the bank, what sort of noise is that, does the poor chap have bad stomach

LOL, russnet! Man, you do have a perverted mind, but you said that first!  Heheh. Along similar lines, check out TCFS' Wizard of Wor.

Thanks for the tip regarding joystick setting! That solved the problem.

You are not alone -I always thought it looked a bit (cough!) dodgy!
By the way, anyone who likes 'Treasure Island' - Go and download 'Willow Pattern Adventure' - It wasn't released for the C16/Plus4, but it came out on C64, Spectrum and Amstrad CPC - its very similar in Graphics, Gameplay and the map - However its an excellent game and (probably) my all-time favourite computer game (for some reason!)

Maybe some of you have been playing Custer's Revenge on the Atari 2600 too much, perhaps?
As for Willow Pattern on the C64, the only differences between it and Treasure Island are the music and the background graphics. The sprite graphics and map layout are identical
It wasn't the first time that Mr. Micro released the same game with different names, the C64 version of Mayhem was originally released as Tribbles

About Willow Pattern: it's actually mentioned on the Treasure Island page under notes. It's also in the interview I conducted with the author, Greg Duddle, back in September, 2000. I asked him about that specifically.

The weapons in Treasure island are called cutlasses!
Russnet: the pirate who runs after Jim has a wooden leg, how else do you expect him to run?
