Voodoo Kid plays directly from the CD and provides ample save game slots. The game allows the option of text and voices and you can click through the dialogue with ease. At least there are no long and pointless conversations to slow down the gameplay. There is not a great deal of character interaction with really only the Baron's reluctant zombie butler and, later, the ship's captain to talk to, but this, many would argue, is a good feature. Many objects are there just for fun such as a skeletal hand appearing when you click on a barrel, others may provide clues about what you need to do. The interface is simple point and click and a 'grasping hand' cursor lets you know when you can 'take' or 'use' something in your environment.

At times your character will become trapped and, using voodoo artefacts to free your 'spirit', you must wander the ship in ghostly form seeking a solution to your predicament. There really is no fighting or combat and even your final confrontation with the Baron is played out like a Stone, Scissors, Paper contest. For variety, there are a few logic puzzles to complete and two simple arcade sequences that involve squashing bugs and 'shooting' zombies - though no one should be put off by these as they are not too difficult. To do this you must explore the Galleon and find and use items in time-honoured adventuring style. Your job is to make your way through the ship, confront the Baron and free the luckless captives. You gain control of your character in the hold of a Galleon that is transporting captured souls to the Island of Lost Souls. Yawning, and with eyes barely able to focus on the page, you let the book slip to the floor and Baron Saturday draws you into his nightmarish world. You are in bed reading a book about pirates and the evil Baron Saturday, King of the Zombies.

The story opens after you choose your character, girl or boy, known only as Kid. It has a ghostly theme and a brand of humour that players in this age group will appreciate, although I suspect some older adventurers might also have some fun with this one, especially anyone new to adventure game playing. Review by Gordon Aplin (September, 1997) Voodoo Kid is an entertaining adventure game aimed at, say, an eight to fifteen year old age group.
