After his plane crash landed on a remote tropical island, Nick Diamond seeks a way off of his undesired location. Upon cutting through the seemingly endless amounts of jungle undergrowth, Nick finds himself in a spot of bother when he is captured by a somewhat sinister character known simply as the Guardian of the Jewel Towers. The untrustworthy individual has been hoarding stones of power for safekeeping and will protect the precious artefacts by any means necessary, normally in the form of keeping the brave fellows confined in hostage status. Stricken with boredom, the Guardian decided to create a game where, if the prisoners won they would leave free along with their choice of treasure but failure would see them, ahem...dealt with.
