Sea Dogs

Please make new version, high graphics :) and more isles and stories.

I love retro games and this brings back

Sea Dogs clearly takes a lot of inspiration from Sid Meiers Pirates but replaces the fun with frustration. The controls are a complete mess and often make no sense. For example, the world map is accessed by pressing Enter, not once but twice. Yes, I know that older games did often have awkward control schemes, but Sea Dogs was released in 2000 not 1989. I will give the developers credit for making the sailing and naval combat feel realistic, as it does take what seems like months to sail anywhere (unless you chart a course) and cannon reload time is so slow it is almost painful.

I enjoyed the game then and I still do.

It's not hard to see why this game got good reviews back on release and people remember it fondly. Unfortunately now that the novelty has worn off 3D graphics and worlds this emerges as a game that combines average writing with awkward interface design. For anyone who has played one or two other, more recent games that involve sail powered warships this doesn't offer anything worth the cost of admission.
