History
Suntek released a numbered series of PAL cartridges for the 2600, and most of them were existing games under new names. I.Q. Memory Teaser, for example, is Suntek’s release of I.Q. 180, and Walker also appeared as Guignol. Treasure Island follows the same pattern. The Home Vision release, Treasure Discovery, is dated to 1984. Beyond these names, very little about the game has been documented.
