ALERT™

VOODOOISLAND

by M. J. Sayer

You awaken in the growing light of the Caribbean dawn. How peaceful it seems after last night's storm.
Footprints in the sand reassure you that you're not alone, and you picture yourself spending idle days in the shade of a palm tree, sipping a Pina Colada or a Zombie while calypso music plays.

Well, picture this: you are shipwrecked on VOODOO ISLAND, where the Zombies aren't the sipping kind.
Black magic, bizarre characters, and devious puzzles confront you as you challenge Dr. Beauvais and try to escape from his evil island.
Only Mindscape could bring you such a fiendish interactive fiction adventure.
