Description

The evil Dr. T has invented tea-eating plants that he uses to destroy the tea-plantations of the British Empire in order to force them to buy their tea from him. Of course the Queen does not want his tea so she sends in a British Secret Agent who has to stop Dr. T.. Jack Keane, a rather unsuccessful captain, is chosen to escort the agent to Tooth Island where Dr. T has his base of operations but as he meets the agent in Cape Town, it quickly gets clear that the agent does not really know anything about spying even though he is thinks he is the best of the best. So Jack unwillingly takes over the operation and tries to help the agent stop Dr. T.

This adventure game uses a 3D engine with a fixed camera and everything is controlled by the mouse. Upon hovering over items, the appropriate action appears: walking, running, looking, picking up, talking or using. Items are gathered in the inventory at the top of the screen. They can be examined, used in the environment or combined to create a new item. There are also bonus items that have nothing to do with the main story but serve bonus riddles. Completing these unlocks bonus material like art work. There is another bonus if certain riddles are completed before early before they stop the game's progress.

Later in the game the player can also control Amanda, an American henchman who is hired by Dr. T but falls in love with Jack. The graphics and humour are reminiscent of the LucasArts adventures especially the Monkey Island series.
