PLUNDERED HEARTS
(c) Infocom, Inc. 1987

Background
----------
In the 17th century, the seas are as wild as the untamed heart of a young woman.
But when you set out on the schooner Lafond Deux, bound for the West Indies,
your thoughts are only of your ailing father who awaits your care. Little do you
know that your innocent journey will soon turn to dangerous adventure.

You barely survive an encounter with pirates, whose plans for you include a fate
worse than death. The explosives, the rocky reefs, the vicious crocodile - all
these are obstacles which you must overcome with cunning and agility. True, it's
not easy; but at least you can control your fate. What you cannot control is
much more dangerous: your passion for Nicholas Jamison, the handsome pirate
captain.

Tall and lean, with azure eyes that penetrate deep into your soul, he makes your
blood quicken despite his unsavoury past. When you're in his arms, swirling
around the dance floor or secluded in the flowered depths of the gazebo, you are
apt to forget your mission.

But don't dally too long with Nick, for your father is waiting, and on his
rescue lies the fate of more than one man. Prepare for adventure on the high
seas, lass. You'll need every bit of pluck you can muster. In Plundered Hearts,
Infocom brings your wildest fantasies to life. You'll thrill to spine-tingling
peril, heart-pounding romance, and challenging predicaments. To create this
exotic adventure, author Amy Briggs read hundreds of romance novels, researched
17th century costumes and ships, and was wooed by a dashing pirate.
