  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

Found a workaround: Launch setup.exe, select no sound, launch hst.exe -p, and it's working fine. Without sound, of course, but completely stable.

Genuinely doesn't work. hst.exe launches the game alright but once you're in you can't even leave port, enter the tavern or do anything. Sad really, it used to be a flawed but for limited periods rather enjoyable experience.

Game now works perfectly online if you choose the filename "High Seas Trader/HST.EXE" in the list above. Thanks to the MyAbandonware guys for sorting this out.

The game keeps freezing up whenever I reach the naming screen. (Note: This is when it's in the browser, not the DOSbox.)
