What is Ports of Call Classic?
In this 2D shipping trade simulation, you run a shipping company: buy ships, choose freight contracts and destinations, set sailing speeds, and handle fuel and repairs after deliveries. Freight rates and ship prices change with supply and demand, and voyages include some action.
For you if...
- +you like balancing freight income against operating costs
- +you enjoy retro simulations with some action at sea
Not for you if...
- −you want constant action instead of managing freight contracts
- −you prefer modern-looking graphics over retro pixel art
