Sea Adventure

Sea Adventure is just what it says, an adventure at sea - with graphics. Let's talk about graphic adventures. Most fail on the BBC, mainly because of memory limitations. Virgin, with Sea Adventure, upload a grand old tradition in this respect. In fact, it's a major step backwards. I mean, BASIC?

Not only that, the only way to enter text is by the function keys (this means it knows a grand total of 10 words - impressive, huh?).

The graphics in Mode 7 are feeble. The occasional animation displays a profound flair for the non-event.
