Old sail ships or modern cargo/tanker ships?
Game layout?
Combat ingame or pure management gameplay?
Dos/Windows?

'modern'cargo ships
its kinda mangement style no combat
Dos/Windows i dont know... Meh

in the game (as i recal it)
u start of with some cash , u can choose a ship , used or new,
u choose ur home harbour.
then u can choose a cargo for a amout of money/risk and a destination.

u dont have to control the ship only small parts in the game for example when 'the comp choses' its difficult to pilot, u can do it and when therses a person lost at sea, u can recue him.

i hope this helps...

thnx

That ' and when therses a person lost at sea, u can recue him' doesn't ring a bell, however take a look @

Something alike?

You're welcome.
BTW, this is the home page:
http://www.rdklein.com/poc/classic/index.html
Scroll completely down for the dosversion, the windows version is also downloadable but with a 1 houre play limit( per start).
(You'll need dosbox for the dosversion.)

Enjoy it.

And yes, now that I've taken a look @the home page, you can rescue that mariner, lolz.
