High Seas Trader

High Seas Trader is a naval business simulation game published by Impressions Games in 1995 for MS-DOS and Amiga. The player runs trade routes, fends off pirates, collects artifacts and offers transport to fellow countrymen in need, all for the sake of climbing up the game's ranking ladder, which in turn allows the player to buy bigger ships, more firepower and larger cargo holds to progress more quickly in the ranks. The game is set in the year 1650. The player starts out with the most basic ship (Fluyt) and 5,000 (5k) gold.
