Reception

"Compared to similar adventures, The Island is dull stuff with nothing out of the ordinary to recommend it.". Sinclair User[2]

"It seems unlikely that any Spectrum owner will find it fun for more than a few minutes to play this repetitive, text-only adventure, which is filled with the programmer's inane humour". Sinclair Programs[3]

gollark: People enjoy novelty somewhat?
gollark: Interesting!
gollark: You could try and convey this better. Or, as coltrans said, probably just wait a bit.
gollark: Because you artificially made it the only way, yes.
gollark: What I mean is that even if you think it's quite a serious place, that doesn't mean everyone else using it does.
