About the Story

A two-word parser BASIC fantasy game players would type in themselves from Usborne's 1984 "Island of Secrets" book (ISBN 0860208230; now available as a free PDF). The game is intended to be played with the book beside you. Illustrations stand in for graphics and the game is impossible to complete without the written clues and visual cues the book provides.

Translated into Spanish as "La Isla de los Secretos".
