In Treasure Island, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, you play as Jim Hawkins, battling pirates and Long John Silver in search of treasure. First, you must board a ship and evade enemies. On the island, you have a limited number of cutlasses to defeat pirates. Each hit or contact with a pirate costs you a life and sets you back. The island is explored in non-scrolling sections, with your progress displayed as a percentage. Use your resources wisely, find Long John Silver, and claim untold riches!
