Theatrical pirates have sure made a comeback, huh? No longer relegated to goofy musicals and crazy notions like the idea that Geena Davis could ever be a respected ship captain, pirates are now back where they should be: the subject of big budget action movies and sexy Halloween costumes for the ladies. Even better, they’re now the subject of an Appletell giveaway.

From now through May 24th, we’ll be running a contest in which Mac gamers can win Freeverse’s adventure Jack Keane and a download of Coladia’s puzzle/adventure Destination: Treasure Island. We may have even more treasure to throw in if we can just remember where it’s buried.

Jack Keane

Colonial England. Under a certain amount of… duress… Jack takes on a job which will not only cause him a great deal of trouble, but also bring to light the answer to a mystery out of his distant past. A lack of money leads Jack to accept a charter to take a British secret agent to mysterious Tooth Island. When Jack’s ship shatters on the mysterious island’s cliffs on arrival and the secret agent quickly becomes a meal for a monster in the jungle, Jack is soon left to cope with the situation on his own.

Players assume the role of our hapless, swashbuckling adventurer and accompany him in his travels across 15 locations throughout London, Capetown, and Tooth Island. Spectacular graphics, including dynamic lighting, realistic water, and particle effects, highlight your adventures.

Destination: Treasure Island

Four years have passed since the end of the adventure recounted in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel.

Jim Hawkins has become an upstanding adventurous young man, attentive to those around him.

Imagine his surprise when, one morning, he sees a parrot enter his bedroom window : none other than Captain Flint, Long John’s own companion. The bird brings him a message from his master.
In the message the old pirate announces that he has buried a marvelous treasure on the secret isle where he retired : Emerald Island.

Jim is going to have to hurry though. Pirates, old enemies of Long John, are on his trail.
