Blimey! I've had dreams of a pc game like that for years! A 19th century whaling sim actually, with the Old White One thrown in as a climax to a "campaign" season of whaling hunting for oil and profit. Gotta visit inns to get financing and a crew for a small ship. Short successful hunts make money and increase rep. Visit inns, better financing & crews, bigger ship, more supplies, longer hunting season, more oil, etc. Crew morale, ship condition, storms, towing ship in a calm, specialized crewmen, tech increases, course plotting...there's a LOT of game there. Maybe even an "Essex" scenario where a beserk whale attacks your ship, and you get to play either side! :-) Of course this is all pie in the sky because unfortunately it would be wayyyyy too politically incorrect in some circles. :-( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tristan Beeline" <mist_distance@hotmail.com> Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.naval,finet.unet Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 4:35 AM Subject: We need a Moby Dick simulation !!! > Yes, for two players.One will play Moby Dick and the other the whale hunters.
