The Lost Island of Alanna You're in the lost island of Alanna and have to find a treasure. To do that, you have to solve several puzzles, much like in the 7th Guest.

The graphics are great and the puzzles are logical and not very hard to solve, but the game is a bit short.

There's also another "problem". The game was distributed freely to Cherry Coke buyers and, as a marketing strategy, they included several clues you may need in Cherry Coke bottles. To make things worse, these clues never appear in the game. [source:mobygames]
