About this game

Scrooge McDuck sets out to find lost treasures, choosing among five areas from his control room. Each expedition mixes movement through the terrain with collecting money and locating its treasure. Ropes, chains and vines provide climbing routes. His cane serves several purposes: use a pogo-jump to cross dangerous ground and repel certain enemies, or swing it to open chests and remove rocks. The display keeps hit points, money and remaining time in view as you explore.
