Defoe, Stevenson, Verne, Dumas, Doyle, Twain…? Should these names mean something to you, then we belong to the same tribe: Old Novel Lovers, or maybe childish adults, who never got chance to grow up.
Robinson Crusoe: Escape from Despair Island is founded on the inspiration and love which I felt when reading the Robinson Crusoe book.
