This is where it all began; one of the first games I ever played on my first ever computer, the Commodore Plus 4!
Take control of Jim Hawkins as he scours the island for the buried treasure. The game map is one big maze and guarded by blood-thirsty pirates (yarrrr!) who will throw their cutlasses at you if you get too close.
Most of the challenge involves getting the pirates to throw their weapon, run away until it eventually stops moving and picking it up. The only enemies that don't do this are the blue coloured pirates, which adds an extra challenge to the game.
Once you find the treasure, Long John Silver comes to get you and you have to run back to the ship whilst remembering how to get there.
Although this game was released on the C64, I feel this is the better version. The C16/Plus 4 TED chip had an improved colour palette (even though it had no hardware sprite support), so the characters look a lot better than the C64 version.
The TED chip didn't sound anywhere near as good as the C64, but the sound in this game is so basic that you don't notice it.
What's more, this longplay isn't tool-assisted (WinVice save state/history recording doesn't work yet for the plus 4 emulator).
The sound lag was present in the emulator; it's not a problem with the video.
Happy memories!

    This was one of the very first games I owned: a toss-up between Icicle Works and this for most played on my lovely +4. So easy to get lost! I remember a beautifully drawn map with the game that bore no resemblance to the screen layout whatsoever!

    Likewise, this was one of, if not THE first game I ever played. There were several Commodore-branded tapes in the box and Treasure Island was one of them. Hope you enjoyed the video ;)

    First game I ever played on my plus 4 and easily the most frequently played. Just watching this brings back all the adrenaline of being chased back through the game. My kids will never know the sense of achievement and absolute entertainment

    Loved it when you were chased at the end when you would slow down as it couldn't handle two sprites moving across the screen at the same time! Added to the frustration

    Snap! The Plus/4 was my first computer too and Treasure Island was my first game as well. I've just loaded it from tape after all these years (still loaded first time) and enjoying an afternoon of Cutlass dodging.

    Wow I was 8 playing this. imagination was better back then I mean this was real to me lol I remember I had a map with blue and green dots depicting where the pirates were and which ones they were. I can't remember where it was from, if it came with the game or not I don't know, but the green and blue dots were done in felt tip pen and the map itself looked photocopied... just cracked a memory there! 👍

    My brother had this with his plus 4, did it come packed in? Icicle works and Fire Ant are two others (Ithink). The sound is a real flashback to my childhood, watching him play it. Cheers.

    Én gyerek koromban 1991 - 1993 körűl sokat játszottam ezt és gyakoroltam. Bele is jöttem hamar és nagyon is jól ment a: treasure island. Amikor a kincset felvettem és űldözött a kék bandita akkor volt egy felesleges kardom és próbáltam az űldöző banditára lőni de a kard lövés nem állította meg. Lehet, hog, hogy a program Így van tervezve. Így hát elhajóztam.
