Shipwreckers!

Action 1997 Windows Psygnosis Historical Arcade style

Also known as Overboard! but a colorful adventure nonetheless!

Shipwreckers! puts you in the boots of a high seas pirate... ship! Yap, you control a three sailors pirates ship, but you'll get to bond more with the ship then with the crew, as the game is not a conventional adventure. Instead, it is a nice combination fo adventure with real time strategy elements. Your main objective through the game will be to board, avoid sinking (your ship) and sink enemy vessels while the main story is told through cutscenes. Graphically the game makes use of a lot of saturated colors and an anime style that while clunky, works great for the game. The story itself involves classic pirate tropes, as you'll be hunting down for a treasure chest, but as I said, the road there is sprinkled with a lot of ship battles and other pirate inspired minigames. So give this game a try, it sure is worth the trouble, as the gameplay has a very engaging but not too hard edge. But it still manages to keep you involved, not dissimilar to Pirates! But definitely with a recipe that is of its own.
