About:
Dan is a bush pilot with an urgent need for cash - about all he owns of his plane is the air in the tires! Just before the bank decides to repossess his craft, a friend tells him of rumored fortunes being made. So buckle in and head out into the harsh, remote and baffling Outback in search of huge opals that are apparently just waiting to be picked off the ground. Blue beauties! How hard can that be? The game has photorealistic settings and uses digitized video animations. It has a standard adventure game inventory using Dan's backpack where appropriate items must be gathered and used in the correct place and manner. It also holds hints - the more you play, the more you can view.
Story:
Oy, mate! Travel through Australia and experience its culture in this comical adventure as you guide bush pilot "Down Under Dan" after he crash lands his plane in an unknown area. The game takes place in the span of 4 virtual days in which Dan encounters colourful locations, animals and characters (voiced in full speech) on a quest for blue opals in the outback where he might end up rich.
