You are looking at computer game Ship Simulator 2008. Ship Simulator 2008 is a deeply authentic nautical simulation that puts you at the helm of vessels ranging from nimble speedboats and tugboats all the way up to the mighty Titanic. Developed by Dutch studio VSTEP, this is a slow, methodical, and genuinely satisfying experience built specifically for fans of authentic simulation gaming rather than fast-paced arcade action. Choose from a fleet of 14 vessel types and take on a wide variety of mission-based scenarios across real world locations including England, San Francisco, Marseille, New York, Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Thailand. Missions task you with everything from mooring and towing vessels to rescuing stranded ships, racing, transporting cargo, and even ramp jumping, with successful completions raising your ranking across five different shipping classes. An online database tracks completion times and player ratings for every mission, adding a quiet competitive edge for those chasing the best times. The physics modelling is where Ship Simulator 2008 truly shines - small motorboats feel agile and responsive, while massive tankers and ocean liners feel appropriately heavy and slow to manoeuvre, requiring genuine forward planning to navigate safely. Dynamic ocean waves, an extensive day, night, and weather system, and a visible damage model that shows dents and holes after collisions all add to the realism. For those who'd rather set their own course, free-roam mode lets you pick a ship, location, and weather conditions and simply set sail at your own pace, with long distance open ocean voyages between ports adding genuine scale to the experience. For sim enthusiasts and anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to captain a real ship, Ship Simulator 2008 delivers a uniquely calm and detailed nautical experience. *** Comes in excellent condition!
