Official description

3000 years ago, before the Christian era, a fabulous treasure was created by master craftsmen in the old city of Babylon. Such was the beauty of this collection that many men died to obtain possession of them. The collection was known as the Jewels of Babylon. At the end of the 19th century the jewels were in English hands. In a great gesture of friendship Queen Victoria intended to give them as a wedding gift to an Indian Princess. On route from West Africa the ship carrying the jewels was attacked by pirates who took them and left the crew for dead.

You are the sole survivor of the attack. After recovering from your wounds you vow to reclaim the jewels. After much searching you have located the pirate base on a remote island. Your objective is to search the island, find the jewels and return with them to your ship. Many dangers await you on the island, be wary.
