all i remember is running my boat into a sandbar, unable to get it dislodged. i later went back in time to meet a pirate who stole all my stuff at gunpoint. i think my guide got sick and hungry a few times, possibly died. now and then a magical jaguar would talk to me.
this was another one of those games that i looked forward to playing during my free time at school. i had fun spearing sharks and arowana and stuff and running my boat aground. i tried playing a crack of this a couple years ago but struggled to get it to work. it would be an instant buy from me if GoG added this to their store with the necessary patches to get it functional again. i would love to share it with my niece and nephew whom i think would appreciate this niche piece of gaming history
Seeing this bring me back to the days of Cereal with CD-Roms inside! If i can recall, the one my parents bought was either in Cinnamon Toast, or Honey Nut Cheerios. But if anyone can figure out who said this quote you're a real one lol " We're not done, I want MORE!!"
Edutainment games were all the rage in the 90s. I loved every moment! It was here that I learned quite a bit about pretty much anything that existed in our world. Amazon Trail was one of the greats! I loved hunting, fishing, map reading, and meeting all the interesting characters from any point in time throughout the history of the Amazon River and human use. It is hard to find now-a-days and Apply Quicktime isn't supported well anymore. Bring this wonderful edutainment classic would bring tears of joy to many across cyberspace!
My sister and I would play this game, huddled together at the computer. We definitely spent a lot of time going down that river. We still constantly bring it up, and would love to play it again. And it would be so fun to show to my kids/make them play!
This game holds a very special place in my heart, because it was one of the only video games "allowed" in my household growing up. My siblings and I would all take turns playing, and whoever wasn't would watch like an early version of a let's play. We learned a lot from this game, from how pollution slowly increases over time, to all the different cultures of the region it takes place in, and how imaginative a video game could be, with multiple endings and options for the story.
This game deserves to be preserved, not just for its educational elements, but for the unique techniques it utilizes to encourage learning. One of my siblings, directly inspired by this game, went on to get a degree in environmental conservation. This game was also one of the strong influences in my life that led me to where I am today, working in historical preservation.
My sister and I adored this game. I made an account just to vote for this because I NEED to hear the audio of "EWWW" when you catch a bad fish. I have an ear worm of the lady trading and arguing if I was giving her a god trade or not (also an ear worm of the jaguar transporting us through time).
This taught me history, science, climate change, bartering, and so much more. It is engraved in my mind and I need to play it again.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
