The only thing cheap about Booty is the price. One is most impressed by the loading screen of a galleon by moonlight and when loading is complete, the animation of the waves coupled with the hornpipe music, create a good impression, maintained when the game starts.

You are located below decks in the pirate's galleon and your objective is to unlock the bulkhead doors and wander through the stowage areas collecting treasure. To prevent this, the area is patrolled by pirates with large cutlasses and parrots. So you dodge up and down ladders, collect keys, open doors and discover that the hold is quite a labyrinth. Going through certain doors is slightly dodgy, as there is nothing on the other side but a sheer drop, so be careful.

The graphics are smooth moving and the sound is excellent, the game has quite an addictive quality which is an indication that it should do well, and I've certainly seen games of comparable quality selling for three times this price. So get yourself a tricorn and stuffed parrot and claim your share of the Booty.
