Treasure Island

About

Treasure Island is a single-player adventure game built around exploration and trivia challenges. Players navigate a pirate-themed board filled with islands, hazards, and hidden treasures. Movement is determined by dice rolls, and landing on certain spaces triggers trivia questions across various subjects. Correct answers grant rewards or advantages while incorrect responses lead to penalties or setbacks. The goal is to collect key items and reach the central treasure location before encountering deadly traps or rival pirates. The game’s mix of physical board mechanics and trivia elements stands out for its time. While the Commodore 64 version leans into 80s-era design, the quiz content covers a broad range of topics, some of which still resonate with classic pop culture and general knowledge. Fans of retro puzzle-adventures might appreciate its straightforward but strategic gameplay loop, though its 1987 release date means the questions and art style show clear signs of their era.
