Help locating a game with little actual help!

Post by bobface »

Hi All

My girlfriend informs me she used to play a game that...

involved tide times and maps
a rock map
and a boat
possibly with the addition of Jewel's...

I'm normally pretty good at identification of BBC B games, but this one has me completely stumped! Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Scott Adams' Pirate Adventure has all of those...

Maps, ships, waiting for tides, treasures, etc.

...Not too sure about the "ROCK MAP" though?

Lol - i'm not sure that it did! Did it have bitmap graphics on BBC? I can't seem to find an SSD, is it not available?

No Bitmap graphics. It was a text adventure.

SSD Download here:

Maybe it's not the one but at least you can have a go at the linked one to find out...
