Includes shots of the inside of Kirrin Cottage. Probably not the way you imagine it, but even Enid rearranged the cottage sometimes to suit the story!

Thanks for that, Pete.

As a fully signed up Luddite I hadn't seen any of those graphics before

Thanks Pete that was interesting. Funnily enough Uncle Quentin's study looked pretty much as I have always imagined it and the first picture on the island looked very realistic too. Also the overhead picture of the boat approaching the island managed to convey the legendary difficulties people had in getting there without wrecking their boat. I don't think Enid ever mentioned a hut on the beach though. And no sign of Timmy at all?

I thought Quentin's study was too tidy! Interesting set of pictures though.

Quentin's study:
No panelling for secret passage access.
Computer! No doors opening to the garden as illustrated by Eileen Soper.
Not as much scientific apparatus as I imagined.. otherwise ok!

I thought Quentin's study was too tidy! Interesting set of pictures though.

I agree, Daisy, I imagine Uncle Quentin's office to be very messy, the type of place you'd have to move a pile of papers to sit down, but with nowhere else put said papers.

I think the rest of the house also looks too bright and tidy, but I guess it's a lot of development work to add knick-knacks in when the (presumably) children playing the game will most likely not notice.

Could the hut belong to Alf the Fisher boy I wonder?

I played all 5 games, I think it was more than 15 years ago. They were vavailable in our local library. I'm not sure they'll run on Windows 10, but I think it's possible to play them in a virtual machine running Windows XP.
