Hi,
I was able to use the jaws7 virtualise window function to capture a few of
the screens of the island game. I think it'd be best if a windows version of
the game could be made. Jaws doesn't read the DOS screens right or is slow
at reading them.

Island of Mystery Adventure
Welcome once again to the wonderful world of adventure, where
knowledge, creativity, and common sense lead you through castles,
ghost towns, haunted ships, and dozens of other exciting atmospheres.
This time you'll be exploring a tiny island in the middle of
a vast ocean in search of eleven treasures. You must first locate
each of the treasures and then find the secret place where the
treasures must be stored. Twenty points are awarded for each properly
stored treasure. Once a treasure has been stored it can not be
retrieved.
There are 240 possible points (this includes 20 bonus points
that are awarded for three particularly difficult tasks). The game will
end when you reach the 240 point plateau.

Island of Mystery Adventure
To move across the island, simply type N,S,E, or W for the
four main directions on the compass rose. The word 'go' is not
needed. You can also use function keys 1-4 for these directions.
Use only one or two word commands. A few commonly used commands that
you will find useful are look, get, take, drop, and inventory. You
need only type the first three letters of any command for the program
to understand what you are saying. For instance, the command 'DROP
PISTOL' can be typed as 'DRO PIS'. The FIX command will fix the screen
display in case the screen becomes distorted for any reason. The
adventure understands about 50 commands in all. The function keys
have been programmed with some useful adventure commands.

Some words to the wise...
1) The majority of the 11 treasures have other uses. Be careful
when you store a treasure, you can't get it back!
2) Be sure to examine everything you find.
3) Be on the lookout for hidden messages.
4) Remember that some of the treasures are secretly hidden. This
is an adventure after all!
5) If more than four objects are at a location, the <more> message
will be displayed in the visible object window, meaning you
can't see everything that is around you at once. You can move
objects around to get a look at everything.
6) The only way to find all 11 treasures is by successive
movements, that is, one command must be used before another
command becomes useful.
7) Watch out for the headhunters. You never know when they will
show up!

Some words to the wise...
8) You have a limited amount of time to find all the treasures.
A huge storm is heading your way on the island, and if it
hits before you find all the treasures, the game will end.
9) If one set of words in a command doesn't seem to be working, try
another combination. The vocabulary the adventure program
understands is limited, and words that may make sense to you might
not make sense to the adventure.
10) GOOD LUCK and HAPPY ADVENTURING!
