Now, for the first time on a Home Computer, Enid Blyton's greatest creation "The Famous Five" star in their own computer game. Faithfully recreating the world of Julian, Anne, Dick, George and Timmy the dog you can control any of the children as they solve the mystery of the 'Treasure Island'.

Fully endorsed by the Blyton Estate, this is a fun to play interactive graphic adventure that closely follows the plot and unique atmosphere of the world famous books. You can control the actions of any of the gang (except the dog - he is more interested in the nearest tree!) and can change from one of the gang to the other or watch as a character goes off to 'do their own thing'.

Although based on the children's books this game has been carefully designed to be challenging to all age groups and contains almost all of the locations in the book (many with pictures) and has loads of problems to solve. The command parser has been developed over 3 years and can understand complex sentences and commands.

Review:

A jolly adventure clearly aimed at the younger audience. The other characters are interactive to some degree, which is a bit of a bonus for this sort of game.
