Gameplay
In the game, the player is "Hawkins," who leaves the Admiral Benbow Inn to sail to Treasure Island. Gonzo and Rizzo accompany the player—and so does Stevenson the Parrot, a new Muppet character who provides hints throughout the game. The Muppet characters are seen as video clips overlaid on an animated background.
Development
A video game based on the film was released for Windows and Mac OS in 1996 by Activision.[1] It was developed on a budget in excess of $3 million.[2]

A DVD-ROM version was also announced at COMDEX 1996,[3] and would be eventually bundled with some OEM DVD-ROM kits.[4]
