A homage to the old fun adventure stories for children...
...and a nostalgic adventure set in days gone by.
Drawing from the charm of the old-style adventures for children, "A Terrific Weekend Adventure" is set in 1952's England, in the imaginary region of Seaview and is an honest homage/attempt to capture that old adventure feeling for everyone out there who, like me, still keeps going back to those books, no matter how up in age we are.
Naturally, you'll find the usual cliches here: the summer holidays, the secret tunnels, the gipsies, and not even the smugglers were forgotten.
- Fun for kids!
- Nostalgic for grown-ups!
- It's a universe inspired by nostalgia.
- It's a fast-paced adventure story.
- Simple and exciting!
- It's the perfect guide for those who play the ZX Spectrum adventure game and get stuck.
- Naturally, you'll find the usual cliches here: the summer holidays, the secret tunnels, the gipsies, and not even the smugglers were forgotten. And there is a cat.

Visit the lighthouse, row to Luna Island, and get excited at the sight of Shipwreck Rock in the sea. |
Visit Seaview's beach with Anne and Philip, where the entire mystery begins and an innocent trip to the beach one summer morning becomes the adventure of a lifetime. Join the two children as they unravel the mystery of the old bottle and face off against dangerous smugglers in days gone by. |
Join Anne, Philip and Whiskers the Cat as they meet the characters in Seaview and learn about old tales of smugglers in the night, secret passages, ruined castles, and haunted woods. Always watched by Anne's cat, Whiskers, who has his own story to tell. Meet Clara, the cook, Mr Willis, Old Ben, Mrs Fletcher, Tobias, O'Brien, Jacques and Sunk Bob. |
