Skull Island is a graphical text adventure game developed by Australian company Softgold (formerly Gameworx Software), which specialised in multi-load text adventures written in BASIC.
It was released on the SC-3000 in 1984 by Dotsoft, exclusively in Australia. The game was also released on Commodore 64 in the same year.
Gameplay is based on the Scott Adams Standard 2-word verb-noun parser.
On first glance, the game appears to be inspired by Treasure Island

Strange how some people also call this place Treasure Island ...... |
