Muppet Treasure Island’s PC game was almost the turning point for Muppet video games

Following the success of 1992’s The Muppet Christmas Carol, the next theatrical outing for Jim Henson’s beloved characters was Muppet Treasure Island, a loose adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel. Arriving 30 years ago, on Feb. 16, 1996, the movie was a lot of fun and brought with it plenty of pirate-themed tie-in merch, like a fantastic set of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys as well as a so-so game computer game.
