What's that game?

Post by weemadando »

I'm trying to remember the name of an old game - where you ran a shipping line, you had to manage freight, shipping routes, all the rest and there was a neat little "harbour piloting" bit for when you had to dock the ship...

Spaceships or ocean liners ?

What year, roughly ? What level of graphical quality (ie, polygon-based, faux-3D or 2D) ? CD, diskette or game console ? Any names or plot elements you remember ?
