Gameplay is based on the Scott Adams Standard 2-word verb-noun parser.

Synopsis
"You stand on the beach of Skull Island ready to make your fortune. Looking out to sea, you see a shipwreck on the rocks of the point.
Ahead lies jungle extending to the base of the cliffs rising to form a snow covered peak in the centre of the island.
In your hand you hold a map of Skull Island, you discovered in your grandfather's sea chest. Strange, it has cryptic signs and a treasure chest. Strange how some people also call this place Treasure Island ......"
