The Volcano of Raka-Tua
The volcano on the tropical island of Raka-Tua has been rumbling for days and the small town is now all but deserted. Rumours tell of five valuable treasures left behind on the island and ancient legends speak of fire-breathing lava creatures who live in the depths of the mountain. Can you discover the secret of the blind statue and recover the five treasures before the volcano erupts? But beware — there may be some truth in the ancient legends after all . . .
