You were shipwrecked on an island and had to choose what to do each day, the point was to survive until you were rescued. You could choose to collect water if it was raining that day, or go fishing, or send a message in a bottle, and I think each action took the entire day to complete.

It's at least 15 years old, probably closer to 20.

Can you tell us anything about how the game looked? Graphics, interface, how did you enter commands? Do you remember on which kind of machine you played it?

hm
There was a game on Commodore +4 (!!) with the same gameplay. Maybe this game is way more old than 20 years.


Not the Treasure Island.

Do not link to that crap website, they steal descriptions and files from Underdogs and ask money for downloads.

Edit: purified!

I'm sorry I didn't know. That was the firs web site I got so I put it here. But you've convinced and I've already changed it. Now you should edit your post as well and the forum will be neat and clean place again ;)


Edit: Wait! I think I have it! There was a game "The Island" on C64. It fits to your description quite nicely but it took me ages to find it anywhere... but here it is:

I also want to know. Giant Bomb has that attitude, but afaik, they don't sell games.
