FAMOUS FIVE ON A TREASURE ISLAND
Enigma Variations
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Scenario
Famous Five on a Treasure Island is based on the first of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five adventures
where the five meet for the first time. Julian was the head, altong with his brother Dick and
sister Anne. They first meet their cousin George (Georgina) and her dog Timmy in this story. The
game is set on Kirrin Island, which belongs to George’s family, and a wreck which has been swept
onto some rocks after a storm. A map is discovered in the wreck and it has one word on it, Ingots,
another word for gold. Someone offers to by Kirrin Islnd in order to get the ingots and the five
decided to go to the island and get the ingots before the villan does.
Notes:
1. You have to change character sometimes, but you can tell/ask other characters to do something.
2. Each character, Julian, Dick, Anne and George can only carry up to four items, and sometimes only
certain characters can perform certain actions. It may therefore be necessary to swap objects
between them.
3. Type LOOK for information on who you are playing, who is present and what they are carrying.
4. Do not turn on the wireless more than three times, or you will end the game.
