Normally I would avoid trading simulations but this one is pretty good - when its not crashing. Your goal is to become rich and to increase your reputation with the world so you can finally become elderman. aside from trading with goods you can do a ton of sidequests (especially in Multiplayer) like helping traders, working for your town, transport goods, kill pirates and many more. There is much to see, much to learn and lots of fun. Sadly the poor optimisation for modern systems holds this game back. Especially annoying are the constant crashes you WILL experience while playing this classic and sometimes it simply freezes but you can fix this with a reload. Entering a town: Crash. Entering the church to pray: Crash. Entering the Bathhouse for bathing: Crash. try to enter a naval battle: Crash. Just to name a few. Sadly the issues are inconsistant. One can play for hours without having a single problem or for 20 with for crashes and freezes. These issues prevent the game form recieving the 4 stars I would normally give. You should only pick up this game if you either have nostalgicfeelings for it or if you are ready to save often and reaload even more often.
