 A discontinued though somewhat infamous entry in the ''[[Jump Start]]'' series of [[Edutainment Game|Edutainment Games]]. Four years after its release, it was replaced by a new version which was about [[Underground Level|mining]]... or something. In any case, it was not as memorable as this one.
-As its subtitle might suggest, this game is remembered for its [[Nightmare Fuel]], which was presumably a factor in its discontinuation. Okay, the plot: You are a fourth-grade student who has missed one day of school. While you were absent, the substitute teacher was a [[Wicked Witch]] named Ms. Grunkle who [[Baleful Polymorph|turned all your classmates into monsters]] and imprisoned them on a creepy island where everything looks like it was designed by [[Tim Burton]]. So now [[Its Up to You]] to rescue them, wandering through the [[The Lost Woods|spooky woods]] of the island to find the [[Mini Game|Mini Games]] which provide you with [[Plot Coupon|Plot Coupons]]. Occasionally, an evil ghost named Repsac will pop out of nowhere and force you to answer a question. Answering a question wrong will cost you [[Hit Points|health points]] and losing all your health points will land in [[The Maze|the Labyrinth]].

 Essentially, it's a [[Defanged Horrors]] version of a [[Survival Horror]] game. You can see a [[Walkthrough]] starting [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upx8ZCALzR4 here] and a review noting its scariness [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vUh_PZ5SK4 here].

 * [[Pirate Tropes]]: The geography activity is pirate-themed, so it includes a number of these:
 ** [[Boarding Party]]: Implied. If you lose one of the cannon battle mini-mini games mentioned below, your ammo and supply counts go down.
-** [[Instant Plunder Just Add Pirates]]: Well, pirates make at least as much sense as the Egyptian pyramid.
+** [[Instant Plunder, Just Add Pirates]]: Well, pirates make at least as much sense as the Egyptian pyramid.
 ** [[Pirate]]: Type 1. The pirates are your enemies, and if you run into one of their ships, you'll have to sink it in a cannon battle mini-mini game.
 *** [[Ghost Pirate]]: Possibly. You don't actually see the pirates themselves, but their ships are all white and ghostly. Oddly, your ship is too.
