You play the part of an aircraft pilot, employed to ferry urgent documents around the Caribbean. Fierce winds seize the plane over the Bermuda Triangle and hurl it to destruction; you escape by parachute at the last moment. As you float down towards an island below, you recognise the coastline from an old map. It is the lonely atoll, "Emerald isle", which few people visit and from which none return. It is said that only one person may leave - the ruler of the land - and that each visitor is tested. Success promotes you to King or Queen; failure promotes you to the next life. Explore peculiar towns, meet peculiar people, learn the peculiar purpose of the letters and travel on a railway which is simplicity itself compared to BR's peculiar fare system. Don't be too afraid of the dark, and watch out for the spider!
