Ports Of Call Classic
$2.49About Ports Of Call Classic
Finally Ports Of Call the classic trade simulation game from the Amiga time made it onto Android devices. We tried to be as close as possible to the orginal (its really the SAME kernel code), in terms of original grafic and behavior. We added some helpful features, as the new joystick control for navigating in the shipsimulator and for the radar collision system. We also added some keyboard support when a keyboard is not available. Save, Load, Help and New is available using the Android MENU item. We tested the game on different devices, also very small ones. The buttons are sometimes small, but you will get used to them, but therefore we were able to use our original grafics with the typical AMIGA look. We provided an intro and tutorial video.
The App supports 10 different languages which can be selected when starting the game (English, French, Netherland, Norwegian, Italien, Spanish, Finish, Swedish, Daenish, Portugais and German). Any suggestions are welcome please write us.
Some hints on comments and the EXIT function of the program. Please use the HOME button to exit the application. We didnt provide an extra EXIT button to terminate the program, as the Android System recommends not to terminate the program ourself instead let do the Android System the termination if necessary. This is to have a full compatible system and keep the OS in a stable condition. We prefere a stable system left to the user instead of doing some hacks on this -- if you really need to kill the App, use the END program function of the Android Application manager, so you dont need to reboot the Phone.
Also used in naval schools for education.
features in the last rev 1.4:
1. Backspace also can be used as the OK button, to LOAD the ship in the captains wall and to START or STOP the simulation in the main screen.
2. Buttons - User Interaction. New algorithm for handling all buttons. Now a radius region is searched, which gives a much better response. Better behavior at the border.
3. bug fix for sound not terminating when the program is exit (e.g. paused).
4. Fixed problem with the timeout message and text.
Please also write an email if you have error messages or problems.
We want to help quickly, but you need to write an email to us with details. The comment section is a bad place as we cannot reply or ask questions on the problem. We really want to help.

I really want to love this game, but the cargo rates are miserly to begin with, then there are way too many random events that eat away what little margins you can eke out.

Pity music isn't there. Differcult to steer ships in Port, cool steering for radar avoidance though. Would be good if you could use the radar steering for port operations

Played the first 6 houres without any problems. But then it started crashing. Now I can't even start the game, because after I want to load an old game it goes black and freezes. Will uninstall.

I used to play this on my parents Amiga when I was a kid. This mobile version is a lot faster to load and I find the new joystick when controlling the ship a lot easier to use. Steering the ship around ice burgs and into tricky ports still makes my heart race. Anyone who has played the original version will enjoy this update.

Ports of call, nothing more and nothing less. I like the addition of the on-screen joystick controller, it works great. If you played Amiga poc you'll get a kick out of this, if not the game is slow progressing, tedious and outdated.

So its a direct port of a classic game, one problem however is the controls are the same with the ships, a terrible system then, even worse now with touch screen. Replace the controls with something more appropriate like the Zeemote.

Thanks for this great classic. Gets better with each of the frequent updates.

Befinner difficulty: - Always the same commodities from each port, only slight variation in tariff. - Tariff too often lower than fuel cost. - Storm, rescue and reef on the same trip, often. One of these is almost guaranteed.

Its to hard to control speed and direction with the same control. Also the speed of the game is to fast. This runs 3 or 4 times faster than it should. The game is impossible to play in bus,car or train .

I played this game a lot as a kid, and it's just as great now. The controls could be challenging, but with a Samsung Note, no problem. Thank you for porting it.

Thanks for this classic but please fix the following bugs: 1. Sound is too loud. Make volume configurable or at least a mute option. 2. Steering is well done but for no reason for the largest and most expensive ship I cannot use it. Why?

It's decent. Hard to enjoy on my galaxy s4. I'll give it more time and update my review if needed. Controls are a little difficult but I understand it's a phone so unsurprising.

Works perfectly on XOOM. Can be quite repetitive once you have mastered it but engaging nonetheless.

Nice port, but annoying bugs are spoiling the fun. 1. Radar emergency while ship in port? 2. Mortgage doesn't seem to be reduced despite paying instalments. 2. Cargo and destination lists generated independently, making the choices less fun.

I loved this game on the Amiga, so I quickly bought it. As an app, it is horrible. I can tell the authors put almost no effort into converting this game. Standard controls don't work, it's next to impossible to control and the only way to exit it is to force a shutdown. I can see why they only offer a paid version. If you played it first, you would never but it!

I used to play this on PC and its still tons of fun. The under lying mechanics of the game is really brilliant and years ahead of all the other games I have found on Play. For example, if you assign many ships to a string, the price for charter will drop - just like the real world.

Proof that you dont need fancy graphics and anoying music to make a great game. Even though it is very old it works very good with a smarphone, very stable and best of all it hardly consumes any battery at all
