Sorry to bother you gents, but I seem to have a problem with this game. I try to play it on Windows 98 and all I get is the a screen with the company logo, then the title screen, then the credits screen and nothing else. Same thing happens when I try to use DOS. Anyone as a similar problem? [/b]

In my experience (with DOS) that could mean that you don't have the correct memory configuration to run the game. Unless you have a manual it is difficult to know if the game requires EMS memory or a minimum amount or real mode memory that it isn't getting. Try making a DOS boot disk with only the drivers that you absolutely need to run the game. If that doesn't work you can experiment with different EMM386 configurations. If you don't know what I am talking about you should use DOSBox.

Glad to see this one finally up! I never could get the version at Home of the Underdogs to run properly. This was one of the first games I ever bought and I always enjoyed it.

Could someone please put the manual up here? I never have been able to load the one at Underdogs at all.

Thanks again!!

Manual removed
New archive uploaded

I have a few questions:

1. Did you find that not all cannons hoisted up to the ship appear as cargo? Does this depend on any skills of the crew?

2. Has anyone found a musket? I routinely find chests and cannon, but rarely other items. Is it the case that unless a ship's manifest says "muskets", it won't have any?

3. What's the highest amount of money you've recovered from a ship? For me, it's about $100 million, but a competitor got more than $2 billion once.

BTW, I always do archeological digs.

As Romano said, there is new archive up. We put those directories so if someone would be nice enough to check is everything OK now, we would appreciate it k:

As for the manual, it will probably be uploaded once again as we have no hard evidence on if this is really a HOTU-made manual. We got it from independent source and is possible that HOTU got the manual from the same place as our contributor. Besides, why do we have to be everything different from HOTU?

Still, if would be nice if we can get new manual that looks better. If someone can do this and have yet wondered is there a hard-working contributor lying inside of him, now it's the time to find out k:

can someone explain how combat actually works please? - unless you have the sub (I don't yet) you get about 5 lines for the RV or trawler - they dont make sense - dont describe what you see on the screen - are contradictory - and in short - dont work.

sometimes I can see my attackers and shoot back - sometimes I can't and I'm just left sitting there getting shot up - right now I'm under attack by about 3 vessels at once - they are only visible on radar, and my guns cannot see them - let alone target them - but their combat skills are lacking too - I've left them to attack me without fighting back or even moving for about 2 hours and the red things they are shooting at me seem to miss almost every time - what's going on? - it wont even let me make a run for it!! surely the combat screens shouldn't be so boring - something should happen
