Game Introduction

In the introduction sequence, you and your girlfriend, Cheri, can be seen enjoying your own private island called Fantasy Island. Suddenly a ship appears and a pirate comes ashore, takes Cheri back to his ship and sails off with her. Your mission is to rescue her.

You first ride a hot air balloon and must land it on the deck of the pirate ship avoiding cannon fire. Next, you must fight against an entire band of pirates and vanquish them either by thrusting your sword or having each of them stand in front of a cannon whenever a shot is fired off. When you have defeated the enemies, however, a big red bird will swoop down and fly off with Cheri, so you will have to go after her to save her again.

You then return to the balloon again where you have to travel 3000 km without hitting the flying birds or the coconuts thrown by the gorilla at the bottom of the screen.

The next stage is a Kangaroo-like platform level where you have to wind back and forth across the screen avoiding foxes and coconuts thrown by a baboon at the top of the screen as you climb to the top to rescue your girlfriend. When you make it to the top to rescue Cheri, she is then taken by a Zulu native.

Next,when you are in the horizontally-scrolling jungle level, you have to move vertically to avoid tigers and things leaping out at you and natives attacking you. After traveling 2000 more kilometers you end up at a Zulu camp where you have to kill the seven natives and move to the bottom of the big pole where Cheri is at. When you reach the bottom, however, a bad guy in a helicopter grabs her. Again, you jump into your balloon and you have to dodge helicopters for another 3000 km.

Finally, you arrive at the London Bridge where there is a cannon moving back and forth shooting up at you. Here you must dodge the seven helicopters until the cannon blasts all of them. After that, the bridge opens and you land your balloon beside Cheri and the game ends with a large picture of the two of you in the balloon and Cheri cooing "I Love You!"
