Jack Keane and the Dokktor's Island

You play as Jack, a wise-cracking 19th-century sailor. Jack manages to escape loan sharks in England's famous clock tower and then is conveniently offered an assignment that will take him far away from London. He sails to a dangerous island to stop an evil scientist, Doctor T, who is threatening to destroy all the tea plants, which would drive Brits mad. You'll meet an army of apes, man-eating plants, and an attractive bounty hunter, Amanda, sent by the Doc to stop Jack in his tracks. Amanda also becomes a playable character about half-way through the game.

In case you've never played these types of adventure games, you'll navigate your character around the environment by clicking on characters and selecting responses from a list of dialogue options. You'll also pick up items and place them in your inventory to use when applicable. For example, you'll need to get past an anaconda blocking your path on a river, and when you try to go another way, a monkey is pedaling to power an electric fence. Without giving away the solution here, you'll look for items you can use, including a giant nut, screwdriver, and wooden plank (curious now, aren't you?).
