  • 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.

@AleOrtu You have to match the ships speed and direction to the lifeboats one. Doesn't work always but I try to get ahead of it or catch it from behind, having almost the same speed when the impact happens.

I play it on Windows 10 with DOS Box without any problems.
Does anybody know what to do with the castaway boat? I try to catch it or let it get to my stopped ship but I always kill him ..

@ Frankie:
just like in the original DOS game, in order to activate the tool bar you need to right click and drag.
Remember to keep the right mouse button clicked when moving the cursor, then you can open the menu, save, load, do basically anything. I already saved one ship from sinking! ;)
Hope this helps. Have fun!

Unfortunately this game won't load any game data (try on Chrome and FF)

Omg, this is really nice. Just like old times. But.. it's impossible to get that menu-bar at the top active; the one where you can choose to save and load games, among other things. This is kind of disastrous, since it's adding a lot of stress not being able to save and load games while playing. Please, is there a solution to this problem? I would be over the top grateful.

Thanks a lot,
