Buccaneer (game) Buccaneer (game) Buccaneer was a board game published in Britain by Waddingtons between the 1930s and 1980s. The game board depicts the sea, broken into squares. Around the edges are ports, some owned by players, others being "free ports". At the centre is Treasure Island, upon which is placed semi-realistic looking treasures: diamonds, rubies, pearls, gold bars, and rum barrels. The 1938 version of the game had a roll up canvas board (packaged in a tube) and a playing area of 25 x 25 squares, the Treasure Island in the middle spanning 5 x 5 squares. Complete sets of this

A graphical adventure game, the player takes the part of Jim Hawkins travelling around the island dispatching pirates with cutlasses before getting the treasure and being chased back to the ship by Long John Silver. Another "Treasure Island" adventure game based upon the novel was released in 1985, published by Windham Classics. LucasArts adventure "Monkey Island" is partly based on "Treasure Island", lending many of its plotpoints and characters and using many humorous references to the book. Disney has released various video games based on the animated film "Treasure Planet", including "".
