Pirate Cove

A mini-adventure for children. Your ship sails a sea of 25 places, ten of them land and the rest high seas, shuffled anew each game. You start at PIRATE COVE. On each island you can search two places, which may turn up a key, a cutlass, other treasures or nothing. Read the map to see land and water and the islands you have visited, sail north, south, east or west, and check your inventory. Sail off the edge and a storm turns you back. At the SEA MONSTER'S LAIR you may sail away, with a small chance of escape, or fight, which only a cutlass wins; otherwise you are sent back to Pirate Cove. Reach TREASURE ISLAND with the key and the chest opens to win.

Controls: Use either controller. Push up and down to move the pointer through the menus and press either side button to choose.
