You have to collect passengers from the rooms, get to a lifeboat and then navigate a big barren blue board representing the frigid Atlantic (yet I seem to recall the islands you could row to being tropical in nature; one had a cannibal tribe, I'm pretty sure.)

I finally got around to looking at your YouTube. That's a truly terrible game. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaaLBDoR_jQ[/url] What about you?

"Are you superstitious? Do you dare walk under a ladder? Let a toad touch you? Break a Mirror? Defy the "Evil Eye"? ...All these superstitions are waiting for youwhen you sneak through the Graveyard at midnight to break into the Wizard's Tomb. For your bravery, you capture a "Charm" and a "Whammy" to help you get back out the Graveyard gate." Let a toad touch you? Defy the "evil eye"? What about normal stuff like a black cat crossing your path? Weird. Cool plastic props though.
