So what happened to the manual for this game? I remember downloading it a few months (about a year?) ago, but now it has disappeared? Or maybe I donwloaded it from HOTU, or the links in previous pages. Nothing of all these work now, and I seem to have lost my own downloaded copy .

Yes, what happened to the manual - now that HOTU is no more? You really need the manual on here because without it I don't think anyone would understand the game or at least get anywhere with it.

Hello all,

I happened to remember this game when I was searching for games to download to my iPhone. I have the original floppy's (4 1/2" ones), a backup copy on the later floppys, and my original manual with all of my notes.

I bought it new back in 1994 I think in the clearance rack of a software store!

I absolutely loved this game! Now that I have a Mac, I miss playing this game. I used to download it onto my PCs and go to DOS mode and play it.

Does anyone happen to know if it was ever made for a Mac? Or was it ever updated?

Anyway, I don't remember all of the tips and tricks for the game as I haven't played it in over 5 years but I do remember that I beat the game at least 10 times (you know--the screen where you retire...blah blah blah as the famous captain who found the Titanic)

I would love to play it again...I never did find all of the wrecks. I always thought there was a glitch in my 3" disc copy and it didn't copy all of the game.

The one thing I do remember is that you can't find the Titanic until you reach some "secret" level. You may have the coordinates in the beginning but it will not find the wreck until later.

Anyway...was it available on Mac? I'm happy to share my manual...

This game reminded me (okay i'm going to date myself) of a really old game from back in the old Radio Shack computer days called "The Sands of Egypt" At least I think that is what it was called. It was played by putting the cassette (yes a cassette) into the tape drive attached to a Radio Shack Commodore (I think) computer. It had no graphics...all written clues.

Dosbox? Works on Mac.
Scroll down for the Mac how to:

I just remembered some tips for you. In order to be able to appraise all of the items, you must increase your captain's training in appraisals...the higher it is the easier to appraise all items. I never had any trouble appraising all the items.

Also, increasing the training of your weapons and engineer officers will make combat way easier. By the way the MK30 torpedoes are pretty useless so don't waste your money purchasing them.

Hope this helps.

Are you able to scan the manual?

I'll let you know when its done.

Great.

Okay, I put the manual on my website.

You can find it here.

Please be warned. It is a HUGE file over 89MB. I hope you can download it.

If you can't download it, let me know and I will try to split it into smaller files.

90MB for how many pages? I think we can get that size down a bit. How did you make the PDF file? The problem is that our limit for extras is 35MB or so I believe so 90MB will cross that limit unless we can get it down. Splitting up the manual should be a final course of action.
