Adventure #11: Savage Island Part II is one of the text adventure games that were originally written by Scott Adams for the TRS-80 Model 1, using a two word VERB NOUN text parser (it had to fit in 16K RAM originally). This one was co-written by William Demas and originally released in 1979, and ported to the Coco by June 1983 by . Later a patched version came out to support the Coco 2B (with the T1 derivative of the VDG (Video Display Generator) chip, which featured true lowercase letters. This also works with the Coco 3. The game also supports saving and restoring a game in progress.

Savage Island Part II was rated by the company as an Advanced skill adventure game. This is part 2 of a 2 part game, allowing a much larger game to be played on computers with a small amount of RAM. The player must complete Part I first which will give them a password. This password is required to start Part II. In part II, the player has to "wind their way through glowing corridors in search of the elusive clue that will enable you to solve the riddle of the island." The game also features a dedication at the beginning to "Adventure Fans Everywhere".

NOTE: By August of 1983, Adventure International was offering Tri-Pack adventures for both the Coco and the Atari 8 bits; these offered 3 adventures for 1 lower price. The packs were Adventures 1-3, Adventures 4-6, Adventures 7-9 and Adventures 10-12.
