The remake remains faithful to the original, having the same room layouts, platforms and nasties to negotiate.

The graphics have been re-drawn, sound effects added and yes, that awful music if still awful !

The game is set on a pirate ship called the Black Galleon which has 20 holds full of booty. Playing the part of Jim the cabin boy, you must search the ship and collect 125 pieces of booty before you can escape. Once the 125 pieces have been collected, a golden key will be placed somewhere in one of the holds. Collecting this key will allow Jim to escape with the booty. Jim only has 60 seconds to find the key though, so be quick.

Pirates:

Protecting the treasure are vicious pirates, touching them is fatal.

Traps!

Sometimes a treasure may be booby trapped, and a bomb will appear. Obviously Jim has a few milliseconds to move away before it blows up.

Rats!

The ship is also infested with rats, so be careful.

Parrots!

Every pirate ship has a parrot, and this is no exception, although he's not too friendly !
