VooDoo Kid

The game's title screen. The bands at the top & bottom are used in the game, the top for game control icons, the bottom for messages

The game can be played as either a boy or as a girl. Essentially it's the same character with different hair and a different voice. game play does not alter

The introduction has the boy/girl in bed reading a pirate story. What's the betting they fall asleep?

Yup! There they go.

The game's main menu

These are the game's configuration options ...

The game starts here. The character is Baron Saturday's butler. He has a voice a bit like C3PO from Star Wars

items that can be interacted with change the cursor to an animated hand. The icon at the top right opens the game menu, the top left is a tray where the player assembles pieces of the treasure map

There are lots of crates, barrels and chests to examine. Many have humorous ghosts inside

All the usual puzzles are here, except for a maze which would be an odd thing to find on a ship. This is the standard align-the-pieces-to-make-a-picture puzzle

The artwork is pretty good in this game

The central icon at the top of the screen brings up the player's inventory

Assembling the map, well at least part of it

Trapped. Imprisoned by voodoo ropes the only thing to do is to become another ghost

There are a few unkind references to teachers in this game. A bit rich from a kid that won't read a book

Baron Saturday looks like a refugee from Grim Fandango

Another location and another puzzle

Odd language in a kid's game

The pirate's sleeping quarters

Caught in one of the Baron's traps. Cue awful joke. This cannot be good ....

... here's the baron capturing the player's spirit so that they'll stay trapped on the boat for all time. Luckily its only a game that automatically restarts just before the trap.

This is the standard Whac-A-Mole type of puzzle/game

The galley

The dining room

The games humour seems to be aimed at young kids while the game itself feels like its aimed at someone older

Another standard arrange-the-cogs-in-the-right-order type of puzzle. This is tougher than it looks and is at odds with the game's juvenile jokes

Up on deck

If left alone the game will switch into dormant mode
