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