You're in a great big mess here, so you have a lot of work to do to get yourself out of it. Undeterred by threats of pirates, ghost ships and storms you have to find your way home.

The story so far is that your catamaran was holed by killer whales. Fortunately, you managed to launch the lifeboat, and the game starts with you drifting in the sea, with the task of returning home.

This fairly straightforward adventure includes a Mode 7 screen picture with each location, and you have the ability to carry out instructions by using just one key. This is obviously a great help to the inexperienced typist, but any regular adventurer will have typed N and pressed return before he can remember you have to press function key 0 to move north.

I was a little disappointed that the game included no SAVE option, which I thought was standard in all adventures. After completing the adventure, I can say that it isn't very spectacular, but I did enjoy the welcome home.
