It is entirely possible we are just missing something but I would like some help, if possible.

Furthermore, does anyone know where to get a manual for this game? Online I mean, preferably in .pdf format, although it doesn't matter as long as pertinent information is all there. It wouldn't even matter to me if it was in German or another foreign language.

This is my post. Could I have this name merged with my current one? Sorry if this isn't the correct place for this, I was just amazed when I came across it.

Has anyone managed to play this game?

I have absolutely no idea how to do it an I've tried EVERYTHING. Reading the Manual was of no help whatsoever.

I've figured out how to make the days pass, take loans, talk at the tavern, get information about locations, scroll at the world map, get to the shipyard, get to that odd monument screen, open the main menu, see report and get to the warehouse, but have got no idea how to actually trade...

Hey,

Can anyone please help me? I downloaded the game from this site and when unzipped it but when I tried to load the application it would open a red flickering box which says "PC display settings correct?" before my whole monitor goes black.

I have a standard Windows XP.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix it please?

Thanks a bunch. I played this game a few years ago on my old computer and I am so glad to play it again. It has such atmosphere that I love it. Wish they would remake it (and fix some of the interface problems).

Capo, I don't see at your link a description on how to sail.

I dont remember a lot of this game but when you have the ship and the crew you're ready to sail, just click around, im sure you will figure it out.
