The Secret of Donkey Island
The Secret of Donkey Island, or Tajemství Oslího ostrova, is a Czech adventure game created by two high school students, Jarek Kolář and Petr Vlček. The game was made on school computers using a game engine they created themselves. It was published in June 1994, making it the first commercial Czech game for MS-DOS. Emmxyzzy and sonneveld translated the game to English for the game’s 29th anniversary, in June 2023.
I did a small amount of playtesting for the English version of the game, so I wasn’t able to share my first playthrough. I did my best to recreate a typical playthrough, followed by some speed run attempts. I briefly held the record, but my best run is now in second place, after GrubbyD.
