Think Gilligan's Island meets The Sims. While features are limited and graphics are passible, Lost Island is a borderline entertaining game--even more if you're considering a tropical vacation. It's not an intuitive game, however; be sure to read the tutorial completely before starting up. Manage food, conserve water, build shelter, and try not to go out of your stranded mind--it's the basic survival premise that both prime-time TV and Hollywood loves. The program unfortunately doesn't allow you to change colors or some controls, but you can tweak the music volume and mouse controls. About as fun as a barrel of coconuts, this game just isn't one of our favorites.
