Border Collie Games :
The day has finally arrived: the most highly anticipated fleet management operating system of the year, ShipOS 1994, is now live and available for purchase on Steam.
About ShipOS 1994
Step into the shoes of a 1990s shipping tycoon as you take charge of your own shipping empire. In ShipOS 1994, you’ll lead a shipping company from the brink of bankruptcy, making critical choices to restore it to its former glory. The game offers an authentic throwback to the technology of the era, giving you the tools and software of a classic operating system designed specifically for shipping management.
Every decision counts, from purchasing new ships and selecting the most profitable contracts to unlocking upgrades and accessing new ports. Each fleet is unique, with customised routes, tailored upgrades, and fleet expansion decisions that ensure no two companies are the same.
Game Features
With a host of nostalgic yet innovative tools, ShipOS 1994 offers a deep, immersive experience:
Ship store: Gives players the ability to purchase from a variety of different ship types
Port unlocks: Access new, bustling global ports as your empire grows, expanding your trading routes and boosting profits.
Different contract types: Design your fleet around the different types of contracts that you want to deliver. Balance the benefits of different ships versus the types of contracts that they can deliver.
Global map: View your ships across the globe all in real-time and be hands on with planning their routes.
