For now, I bring you a walkthrough for Scott Adams second Graphic Adventure game - "Pirate's Adventure". As far as the gameplay, this is one of the more enjoyable in all the Scott Adam's chronology. Yes, it is one of the easiest, but in a way that is good. The objectives are clear enough... get to Treasure Island by building a boat, and then recover the treasures there. Some of the challenges is definitely in inventory juggling (you can only carry so much)... but there are a few key puzzles, which have a natural-feeling solution. The one I didn't like much was trying to figure out the exact wording to solve the "pace 30 and dig" puzzle.
In any case, here is my Japanese walkthrough, so that you can play this on a PC-8801, or a PC-9801. The M88 emulator I have lets you type in Romaji, and it converts it nicely to the proper Katakana. Far easier than trying to locate each symbol on a Japanese keyboard. For the PC-9801, I created a script I run in the "AutoHotKey" program. It closely matches the Romaji input approach, so that again... you can basically type in words and it converts to the symbols you need. (ask me about it if you want to try the PC-9801 version... as I had to use it for that system).

Do not proceed if you don't want to see the solutions and a lot of screenshots showing the entire Pirate's Adventure game.
