## Description
_Jara-Tava: The Isle of Fire_ is a traditionally-styled graphical text
adventure. Your recently deceased uncle has bequeathed you a map purporting to
show the location of Captain Kidd’s treasure, sending you on a quest to
explore the remote South Pacific islands of Jara-Mau and Jara-Tava. Can you
survive the shark-infested waters and an imminent volcanic eruption to make
off with the fabled treasure?
As in most parser-driven games, actions are achieved by typing simple
commands: “Inventory,” “South,” “Get sword,” “Tie rope,” etc. A static first-
person view illustrates the current scene, and the player can examine the map
in their inventory to see the overall layout of the island. The Amiga port
adds the ability to access some of the most common commands (such as movement,
inventory, and the map view) by clicking with the mouse. Despite the game’s
short length, there are multiple distinct solutions to the challenges
encountered: the manual states there are four ways to travel between the
islands and three ways to find the treasure.
