It’s basically the nice graphics that makes the game. Other than that it’s a general platformer, you jump around collecting fruit and stars, and spend the rest of the time avoiding enemies and chasms. You get to shoot your enemies with a bouncy blue rubber ball. There are rabbits, flies, bugs and small elephants.. random.

According to Mobygames you are a “simpleton”, which is why it’s called Doofus. I’m not so sure about that, when I was in control he was quite okay!
What makes it slightly different however, is that you have your dog with you. So you have to be sure that he doesn’t get hurt. That requires timing your jumping properly and making sure you dispose of all the enemies. If your dog gets hit then you are told to “Look after your dog” and have to try again.

Be sure to press “down” and raise the red flags when you see them. They are the checkpoints and if you die or your dog gets hurt then you can start from the last raised flag.

I wasn’t the only one impressed with the fact that a game like this comes in a package smaller than 800kb.

Good game, it’ll keep you occupied for a while

The third incarnation in the Lotus series, but this one was the first appearing on the PC platform. The first two episodes where available on Commodore Amiga and a various of other platforms. This game is really one of the ultimate racing games on the PC. I remembered playing it on my friends Amiga 500, where its name was Lotus III – The Ultimate Challenge. The fabulous music and the engine noises, it was all great. So I was kind of excited when it first came out on the PC, even so excited because I bought it. It came on one 1.44MB floppy and was playable from the 286 and on. And its still playable on nowadays computers, so the timing was good in this game. The game was copy protected with a spinning wheel. Matching helmets.

In this game you can choose from three different cars, all Lotuses for some reason The Lotus Esprit S4, the Lotus Elan and the M200 concept car. All I wanted to drive was the Lotus Esprit, because it was one of my favorite cars at that particular moment in time. If I ever can get my paws on a real Lotus Esprit, I would certainly go for it! As long as I can fit behind the wheel, cos thats a little problem when you’re 6’9. Anyhow, back to the game. Theres not much of a story to tell, its just an arcade racer, but its great great fun, especially when you’re with two people. Yes, you can drive with two people on one computer. It gets a little crowdy behind the keyboard, but its fun nonetheless.

You can drive a couple of presetted circuits, they all take place in various enviroments, one on the highway, the forest, the desert, at night, on a road with a lot of roadworks, the mountains a la testdrive, windy roads, snowy roads, you can even race in the future. Every enviroment has its own set of unique properties, for example, racing in the future has highspeed roads, if you drive on them, you’ll get automatically boosted to the topspeed, however its hard to slowdown on that part of the road, so you have to dodge cars once in a while. On the normal roads you can ride into beams of light flickering across the road, those will get you to a complete halt if you drive into them. Every enviroment has its unique set of properties which will get you fascinated. Its a nice addition to sucha fine arcade racer.

Besides racing presetted circuits, you can start making your own as well! This game features a very easy and simple editor, its so easy anyone can do it. Its called RECS and that stands for Racing Enviroment Constuction System. They claim it can produce up to 5 trillion different racing experiences, I didnt try them all, but its nice to fiddle around with it. If you set your racing mode to RECS, you’ll get a list of tracks, to fill in a code to create a game, nine to be exact. You can enter a 9 character code and a 2 digit difficultiness, or go to the editor and fiddle around with the graphical bars. So I always just thought up random words to fill in and play those. Hilarious at times, definately when playing with two people.

The music on the Amiga was fabulous as I said before, the PC version is a little bit less interesting, but a wide broad of soundboards are supported. You can choose (if you have the hardware ofcourse) between PC Speaker (standard), Adlib, Soundblaster and Roland MT-32. The last two ones are the most interesting, although you might choose the Soundblaster instead. The SB included several digitalized sound effects, like howling winds on the windy roads. Its a nice addition, however it would’ve been more fun if they just did it all digitized just like on the Amiga. The musics are interesting, but you might just listen to the engine sounds when playing the game, because you really miss those when playing the game just listening to the music. The music gets set on repeat too, so it will drive you mad after some time of playing long tracks / circuits. The Roland MT-32 music is very nicely done, but it just uses the standard instruments, they didnt make their own. It would sound much better if they did that instead. The sound effects on the MT-32 arent very interesting, better use the Soundblaster for that. The PC Speaker is highly irritating with the bleepy music, but still, nicely done for the one voice PC Speaker ..

The graphics are pretty. Pretty as in VGA 256 color 320×200. I think it looks better on PC than on Amiga. Its also the only graphical mode supported by the game. CGA, EGA, Hercules owners were out of luck. The game itself was in 3D, created with sprites, there were no 3D accelerators in 1993, so even Michelle can play it.

Multiplayer is limited to two players on the same computer. The screen will get horizontal divided and you have to fiddle around with who is who. Its not very clear to see when you’re both driving the same car. The keyboard is supported for two players, but if you have a joystick, it works with that as well. I prefer the keyboard. RECS works with two players too, so its fun just thinking up random words and driving those random tracks

Are there any weaknesses in the game ? Apart from the things I already mentioned with the music and seeing who is who in two player mode, not much. Not much at all. I cant really think up any. Its a great game and still playable on modern computers. No, this game will keep you entertained for quite a while. Its highly playable on DosBox, lots of fun with two people on one computer and playing random thought-up tracks and circuits!

Now THIS is an interesting game… interesting and strange, but totally brilliant!

The story? You and your band of heroes need to save Megalopolis from five dangerous criminals who have done a prison break. Battle through the streets (well, a strange city of platforms and ladders and keys) and get them baddies. There are 50 levels in the full version, so you get to face one every 10 levels.

Play as the Rocketress, Leadman, The Flea, The Drip, Spaced Cadet, The Flying Squirrel and Gumwad. You don’t need to worry about choosing, because once one gets into trouble you can use any of the others to help you out! Very handy. Being able to play as seven different characters. Your standard platform game with a twist. Yes, you still have to jump and climb and shoot etc, but your different characters have different specialties. The Rocketress has a rocket, The Drip turns into a pool of water, you get the idea. I wouldn’t want to ruin the strange surprises Their individual shots (they all just shoot little balls of “stuff”) do different things to the various enemies. The Drip took out the fire when I used him… I hope that was on purpose!

The characters also have different abilities. Gumwad can climb walls (I guess it’s because he’s so sticky), The Flying Squirrel didn’t mind going in the water, Does this remind you of a certain television show? I wonder if any of these characters can heal on their own, I didn’t discover if any of them could. None of them seem to be wearing any cheerleader costumes or are Asians called Hiro.

The highlight of this game is the objects you collect to gather points! Yes, you get gems you can use and keys etc, but that’s not as fun as gathering baseballs, diskettes, stamps and toilet paper. Oh, that gave me the giggles. I had to pause the game and show everyone in my family.

The game works wonderfully in DOSBox. The controls are simple, nice and standard DOS game stuff. ALT to shoot, CTRL to fire. I love that. Nice, predictable and easy-to-use.

Music is provided a mash-up of Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. This creates quite an ambient if not rather strange atmosphere. But hey, they were thinking when they chose that, royalty free music Sounding very funky on the PC speaker! It actually goes quite well, is a nice change from the beeep-beeeeep-bip-bip-beep-whine soundtrack you normally get with PC speaking platformers.

Initally when this game was released in 1993 and didn’t do too well, a publisher picked the game up and it was released as shareware in 1994. The shareware version was called Heroes 1/4: The Tantalizing Trio (I’ve made that available to download as a resource, just for the hell of it). A big hats off to the creator of this game Jeffrey Fullerton for releasing the full version as freeware. He knows how to preserve his good work for all future generations.

Beware the vicious bunnies. Vicious! Yes, you will have to kill them. When bunnies go bad, eh? *sniff*

Here are some screenshots from the shareware version, Heroes 1/4: The Tantalizing Trio:

The four games are all included in the one download from this site, for your pleasure. They are:

• Xmas Lemmings (1991)
• Xmas Lemmings (1992)
• Christmas/Holiday Lemmings (1993)
• Christmas/Holiday Lemmings (1994)

A bit about the games then eh? So, in true Lemming style you had to guide the lemmings from the entry to the exit. Overcoming all barriers using things like digging, steps, etc. Nominating lemmings to do the tasks.

The first two games had very few levels and were considered demo’s. The latter two were full games with 16 levels each. If I recall correctly the 1991 Xmas Lemmings had less levels than the 1992 Xmas Lemmings, because it included a couple of levels from the Oh No! More Lemmings game. You check that out and let me know.

All four games have the Christmas theme going on, from the little suits the lemmings wear to the halls decked out with bells and holly. They battle their way through ice and snow laying down their planks of wood true lemmings-style.

If you expected something different, then apart from visually and musically you will be let down. But if you’re into puzzle gaming, enjoyed the Lemmings games and want something fun for the festive season then by all means download these cool titles.

Oh, they are so cute with their little hats on, and as they are walking along they go boing, boing, boing, and the music is just brilliant!!

The game all starts with a game of baseball. Brad and his sister Jenny are playing a game of baseball, Brad goes to hit the homer and *zap*… wakes up hanging upside down in a cold, damp dungeon. A long way from the modern time he lives in. The reason? Well, a land full of wicked greedy witches who want to cast a rejuvination spell to make them eternally young and hot. The thing though is that the spell needs a male to complete it, and there are no boys in their dimension, hence the bewitched baseball field.

So I’m sure we agree, a very unique plot to base a game upon.

Anyhoo, where were we? Yes, hanging from a dungeon wall, upside down. This is where it all starts. It’s your job Brad to find your way out of the dungeon, and to the edge of the world and beyond. Battle with fiersome beasts like electric eels, vampires and the evil witch.

Like I said, the controls are hard to use. It takes a while to get used to them, as you need to do a combination of about four controls to get Brad to just give someone a worm. And sometimes you need to do the most bizarre things (I won’t give anything away or I’ll spoil it), which you would never consider doing – so you end up sitting there stuck for a while thinking of what to do next. Oh right, we WEAR the suntan lotion *rolleyes*.

But I did enjoy this game. The sounds were most excellent. Brad yelling for help was superb. The graphics are really good for an oldschool classic adventure game. All the attention to detail has really paid off, it’s just stunning. Right up there at LucasArts quality

Play this game in DOSBox as you’re going to need sound.

Lunar Command is a newer version of Moonbase that can run on your modern PC. I had a dig around and really, I can see no difference except for I think maybe airlocks weren’t available in the other version, but I’m not sure. Plus,it now runs on computers properly and the menu’s are in English as opposed to gibberish.

Lunar Command like Moonbase was not very popular, yet is one of the best sim games I have ever played. You create a base on the moon and then mine minerals (or create electronics and material) which you sell back to earth. You have to get producing/mining goods to sell right away because NASA withdraw their support very early on in your mission.

I’ve added the manual as a link below which I got from HOTU. I figured I could redirect you over there to get it and you can, visit www.the-underdogs.info or you can save their bandwidth and download it here.

View my Moonbase review for further information about this game.

This game is quite unique if you ask me, you play as a dolphin, not a dolphin that has a gun, not a dolphin that can fly or walk on land, just a dolphin that happens to be in the right place at the right time.

You are Ecco (yes that’s Ecco not Echo) and you lose the rest of your pod in a freak storm, you must literally travel the world and time and space to get them back. Yes I know this sounds a little cheesy but it is done in such as way as to grab you in and you get engrossed in this game.

The controls can be a little hard to get used to as you are a dolphin swimming in water, and thus you do have a small turning circle, but once you get it sorted you can be as elegant as the dolphins themselves .

This game is beautifully done, from the opening sequence to the amazing music that flows through the game almost seamlessly, if your looking for a game that isn’t just another action game, and will take you in for days if not weeks then this is the game for you.

Personally I enjoy Ecco the Dolphin 2: the Tides of Time, but that was rather large in size and I’m sure you can get it from many other places. Nether the less you should play the first in the series first, if just to get acquainted with the amazing storyline and the characters that are involved with this game if I gave out rankings to the games I reviews for this place I would give it 10/10 but alas I don’t so I’ll just give it a cookie

This game got a bit of a bad rap when it was released and I can’t exactly remember why but I will say that this is my favourite of the series, in fact I thought it was bloody damn good despite how frustrating it can get. PoP2 is a big improvement over the original, no more dull grey monotone walls and dungeon, the Prince actually travels this time around, to various exotic locals (see screenshots) and no longer restricted to the same dungeon and tileset lol

PoP2 is propelled by a compelling story, told through beautifully hand drawn narrated cutscenes that were ahead of their time, a bonus treat is voice dialogue in the cutscenes even for a floppy game. The production value is quite amazing for a PC game of its time, check out the screenshots you’ll like Gameplay-wise the Prince has gotten some motor skills, he can now crawl through tunnels and avoid traps, thrust downwards at snakes but mostly he is the same Prince from PoP1 with a multicoloured wardrobe. The most welcome change is the addition of new traps and quite a few new ways to die. When Bunnzy plays she can now get spikes up her arse as well as in the back, in the stomach front on, get chopped in half, snake bitten, and lose her head to pebble gun traps. New enemies too, you wont be fighting anonymous sultan cronies exclusively, there are now skeletons, eaglemen, those damn flying heads and others. The puzzle aspect is a bit more realistic as the levels and switch placements are placed like how you could potentially expect the old dungeon/castle to be like so the old ‘find the switch that opens the door’ syndrome is not so readily apparent. The different locations and also different events (I won’t spoil anything) are quite indicative of the effort the designers put in to try and deviate from the usual gameplay whenever possible.

This game does not get top rating however due to some ridiculously frustrating aspects that could have been easily avoided. 1) they save game feature is a WELCOME addition to the series, but they should have made it so that you can save at any point, not just the start of the level. The level design is still really linear which means there really still is only one way to beat each level though there might be dfifferent paths in getting to certain locations you’re still going to be reloading and trialing and erroring until you find what the designer intended, and you do this again and again starting from practically the beginning each time. If the story wasn’t as compelling I would have given up pretty early, I ended up giving up about half way through the game anyway as it got way too frustrating (think Groundhog Day), its a pity that the frustration is bad enough to overwhelm the game’s natural addictive platform puzzle solving charm.

2) Those DAMN flying heads. This has got to be some of the worse monster design I’ve seen in any game, where you a common enemy that only has a certain moment it can be hurt and is basically invincible at any other time, its quite easy to find yourself getting hit by these things over and over again with nothing you can do except die, and I’m talking about just facing one, there are times where you have to face multiple flying heads and the combat system doesnt exactly lend itself to quick reaction twitch, counter-twitch and multi directional fighting, another factor in making me quit early. Its bad enough that I have no choice but to go through Groundhog’s Day to get through the levels but after having executed perfectly only to die to a flying head/s just makes me want to kick the screen in.

Thank Jordan Mechner for the cheats lol there is a really good story here, methinks good enough for a screenplay but as a result of design flaws, a lot of people probably won’t make it through far enough to see much of it. It’s worse than a pity, its a tragedy.

Now this’ll take you back. Well, I was 13 at the time, so it’s not _that_ long ago (honestly). Nags is a brilliant game, full of fun, originality and superb game play. This is quite appropriate, as the Melbourne Cup was on yesterday!

The concept is simple. You have 6 horses in a race; you place a bet, watch the race, collect the winnings and then rinse and repeat. So you’re thinking it gets a tad monotonous? You’re wrong, it goes deeper. Like at your local T.A.B you can bet on a win, place or show. Your winnings depend on both the odds and what position you placed a bet for. Win enough and you get to be in the big money earning score board. The nags themselves have the most interesting names – just like real horse racing – and they build up statistics so you can view information about the individual horses.

Multiplayer! Because there are six horses, you and up to five other people can play together. Each player picks a horse, places a bet and then you all watch the race then beat on the winner (or loser, depending on what kind of friend you are). Gaming with friends, what could possibly be any better?

The graphics are a bit of a let down. It’s got good VGA colour, but for a 1993 game it’s very simplistic. Graphics obviously had a lower priority than game play and originality. Which is a good thing, as it’s a trend you see in classic games: game play > graphics!

Oh, don’t forget the PC speaker sounds; we can’t forget the PC speaker sounds. I cranked this up and it nearly blasted my room away!

P.S. If you like this game, get a copy of Harvest Moon and go horse racing.

After his adventures through time in SQ4, Roger Wilco is back as a cadet in StarFleet Academy (Star Trek spoof alert eh?).

This is by far my favourite game in the series, the graphics are great, the humour is not too subtle, but not too in your face (for the most part anyway) and I loved piloting the star ship – a great idea IMO.

I do have a few gripes though, the humour can be a little groan inducing at times (Captain Quirk… riiiight) and some of the arcade sequences are tiresome.

A great adventure game IMO, but suffering from the same flaws that I associate with most Sierra adventure games.

Get it.

Warning: highly addictive game!

This game is a little beauty! Totally cute, addictive and the gameplay is amazing. Its like Lemmings meets Bubble Bobble meets slug-climbs-around-everywhere. People may say that I am easily amused, but this game is a gem

You are Steg the Slug. Yeah, you heard me right, a slug. Your task is to capture your kiddie slugs in bubbles and then they float up to the top of the screen. This may sound easy but there are many things to take into consideration. For starters Steg is merely a slug, and he has to climb over to the baby slug, then blow a bubble, make sure its in the right place, then release the bubble on the baby and have the baby float up. Sounds easy? Well, what if the bubble got caught under something? Then Steg has to go and nudge it out from underneath.

There are other factors to keep you on your toes as well. Steg has to capture so many of the baby slugs per leel, and he also has to capture them before they turn into tombstones.

The theme of this game is the political-judicial situation in Italy in the first years of ’90. Italian magistrates begin arresting politicians for “Tangentopoli” (Bribesville), corruption scandals multiply and “Mani Pulite” (“clean hands”) investigations spread throughout the political system. A magistrate alone (Antonio Di Piero) leads the investigations in spite of numerous attempts to stop him.

In the game you play the part of the magistrate (“De Petris”) who struggles against corruption’s takeover. There are two kind of stages that cycles growing in difficulty until you lose.

In the first stage you must avoid the Tangentometro (Bribemeter) to show full until year 1992. Agents of corruption will be political minions (the ones carring party shields), party symbols (the flag on the left and the ivy on the right), and political leaders in the background. While shooting them (using “s” and “d” keys) the’ll shoot back at you, helped by corrupted men of law throwing burocratic hindrances from the windows. In the second stage you are in “Ufficio Insabbiature” (“Hindering Office”) to uncover from the sand hindered documents avoiding pitfalls.

The game has been quite an underdog in Italy, not being a state of the art game for the time (1993). I played it on a 286 machine and the character acted too slow too win, then on a Pentium and it acted too fast to consider the game a challenge. Anyway it’s worth at least a play to feel that sense of fighting against useless bureaucracy Italians know well.

Yay, this cartoon was cool, as so is the game. It’s actually the second Tom & Jerry game made the first one being “Tom & Jerry: A Yankee Doodle CAT-astrophe”

Tuffy (Jerry’s nephew) has been kidnapped by Tom, and you have to help Jerry rescue him. You will encounter weird enemies such as wind up teeth etc (hehe, that’s cool). You may just be a mouse, but you are Jerry, and no clicking teeth can stand in your way! You have to go through the house and rescue Tuffy from the paws of that naughty Tom.

This game is your standard side scrolling platform game. Run and jump, dodge the stuff. The graphics are great, and the sound is what you would expect. PC speaker sound.

To tell the truth, I would rather have been Tom, I’ve always wished that Tom could just beat Jerry JUST ONCE! But alas, that’s too much to ask. Maybe Sylvester can get Tweety instead?

Okay to start off you should know that I am referring to the games on the ZX Spectrum (128k for the tech-heads). This is because more games came out on the Specky (Spectrum) and its that which the games were originally coded on (they were ported to many other systems including the Amiga and the PC).

Okay, so you may be asking, “so what the hell is Dizzy?” Well, it’s a game that was made on the ZX Spectrum in the 1980′s but finished its reign on the PC and Mega-Drive (Genesis for the Americans). The basic concept of the game is that you are a egg that is called surprisingly enough Dizzy, you are part of a small village that has “the yolk folk” inhabiting it. The Yolk Folk are your family and friends.

The basic plot is unusually the same in these games “Zack the evil wizard has captured Dizzy’s friends and girlfriend, Dizzy is obviously pissed at this and sets off the find his friends to defeat the evil wizard Zack”. You accomplish this task by jumping around many, many screens of pure fun picking up objects and solving tasks.

In all there were 7 PURE Dizzy games (Dizzy, Treasure Island Dizzy, Fantasy Land Dizzy, Magicland Dizzy, Spellbound Dizzy, Prince Of The Yolk Folk and Crystal Kingdom Dizzy. (There was another game called Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy that was released on the Mega-Drive and the PC but I don’t count that as being pure for reasons specified later). Dizzy also formed a few Spin-offs, the obvious ones being Kwik Snax (which was a puzzle game that had a super cool Dizzy rock band in it ), Fast Food Dizzy (PAC-Man Rip-off ), Dizzy Down The Rapids (Action game involving Dizzy in a barrel and apples), Panic Dizzy (another puzzle game) and Bubble Dizzy (in which you had been thrown off a pirate ship into the deep water and have to find you way up to the surface by riding bubbles. Hell a magazine (crash magazine) even made its own version of Dizzy (Dizzy 3 1/2) as the release of Dizzy 4 was getting close.

If you’re still in puzzlement of why the creators (the Oliver Twins), created their whole game around a load off eggs! Then think of it this way; Mario is one of the best selling game series ever and that is about a Italian plumber created by some guys in Japan… go figure?

Magicland Dizzy:
Well guess who has gone and captured all the Yolk Folk. Yup that’s right that evil wizard Zack again. Sheesh you think he would of learned that dizzy kicks his arse every time, n what does he want with eggs other than to eat them, I digress.

This is the dizzy that the ever popular walking on clouds was brought into the limelight, but float on them too long and the earth shall soon become closer to Dizzy’s boots (you can now walk on clouds but you sink if you stand still).

In this episode your duties range from persuading a witch to perform magic, to kicking Ogre’s arse’s (literally). The graphics and sound are better in this one I reckon ). Well worth playing, I leave it

Music:
Just HAD to put this in, the music is great! The tunes stick in your head for years.

Conclusion:
Defiantly worth getting, even if you’re not a fan of platformers. Gords
statement: ” Whoopee Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Ahh crap I jumped in the water”

Bad things about Dizzy:
Yes there are some bad things about these games :O. Basically the controls are one, as you can sometimes jump too far or to short and you die, you can lose all of your lives on one small part like jumping over a lake. After you have got real far and that happens, you get pissed off quite a bit.

Yay! This was one of the greatest movies ever! I totally loved it to bits, even went to see it God knows how many times at the movies (not as many times as The Lion King though hehe). I of course loved this game, as I loved the movie.

You start off in the city of Agrabah, which is where the palace is and everything else you’d be used to if you watched the movie. Face it, it’s basically the only city in the Aladdin universe. You go for carpet rides, and fight with Jafar. Running around collecting things and stomping on people’s heads is the main strategy for this game. I guess its useful then that the main way that Aladdin defeats enemies is by throwing apples or jumping on their heads =D. The apples are collected all over the levels inside boxes etc.

Firstly the graphics were neato! I could have been expecting something really crap, but compared to the other games I had installed at the time, this game was a real stunner. There was a lot of detail, with the backgrounds and people animations. The characters in the game actually did resemble the ones out of the movies, and that is always a bonus.

The sounds for the game are standard sound effects, and the music etc from the movie. This is cool coupled up with the sweet graphics and excellent game play. I liked it right off

Many people say that this game is far too easy and there are just not enough levels. Funnily enough, I found this game just about right for my side-scrolling skillz level, so it was a lot of fun. If you’re a fan of the movie, you’re just going to love this game.

This game is sweet! Great graphics, excellent story line and funny as! I had a lot of fun playing this game; it kept me entertained for ages. I love games where I can run around and collect things, and to have it looking really good when I play it is a bonus, especially for a game that is made a long time ago.

You are a nine-year-old boy named Willy Beamish. Willy wants to compete in the Nintari Championship (hehe, Nintari), but his parents have taken away his Nintari privileges due to his low grades in school! You start out the game in detention on the last day of school. You got a detention because you let your pet frog out and it stole the principal’s toupee. Willy’s pet frog is called Horny and it’s his best friend .

There are tons of tasks and things to do in this game that are all really fun, such as throwing plungers at people and scaring the crap out of your sisters. There are lots of other characters you have to interact with also. Basically the first task is to get out of detention early, you can go around the room collecting items etc.

The look of this game is awesome, with its classic cartoon style animations. Everything is really well drawn and it makes the game so much more fun to play. Kind of like the Lucas Arts games are because they are so well drawn. There are lots of cool animations such as people screaming etc. You can probably tell from the screenshots just how cool this game looks.

Sound is great also. The song is funny and suits the game, and the sound effects all fit really well too. Great scream sounds etc. Would be cool if there was talking, but if you’re on a 56k modem then you’re gonna be grateful when it comes to downloading this game!

I have to say play this game. It’s so much fun! Most people who play it love it, and it’s a definite must have for your adventure games collection.

17th century trading game. Similar to the Tycoon games. Plan routes, trade stuff, look after your cash and sail the high seas!
