Hi all, I'm trying to remember the name of an old (maybe from 1984/86) CPC pirates game, any help will be great!

I had completely forgotten the game, but watching a typical "best 50 CPC games" YouTube video, I suddenly remembered it, since it was very similar (but more colorful) to that game:

I think (but I'm not sure) that the main character was a small submarine (or diver) visiting the remains of an sunken old pirate ship (each screen representing a ship's room). You had to collect coins and treasures while avoiding touching fish and other marine animals. There were dark screens you had to illuminate with some kind of flashlight. The main enemy was a pirate (¿the ghost of a pirate?) who was looking for you the whole time all over the ship.

Thanks!

It's not Roland Ahoy by any chance, is it?
Currently playing on: 2xCPC464, 1xCPC6128, 1x464Plus, 1x6128Plus, 2xGX4000. M4 board, ZMem 1MB and still forever playing Bruce Lee.
No cheats, snapshots or emulation. I play my games as they're intended to be played. What about you?

Also it could also be Rescate Atlantida although that came out much later, it came out in 89.
Not even sure it saw release outside of Spain either, it was one of Dinamic's ones.

Goonies ? http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=993


Goonies didn't have marine life on it though, did it? Just one or two enemies to dodge.

It sounds a bit like one of my favourite CPC games ever... THE DEVIL'S CROWN!

Thanks for the replies. It wasn't Goonies. It wasn't (definitely) a Spanish game. Maybe it wasn't the most popular game of the era, by it wasn't a really obscure title. It was probably a pre 1986 game (probably 1985, but definitely not after 1986). And the loading process took ages....
