Your ship is caught in a huge storm and barely manages to say afloat.
At the start of the game you find yourself in quite a predicament. The game is themed around the Dutch ship "Erasmus", which is captained by John Blackthorne, who is played by you. Having read or seen the story will probably help in solving the puzzles. I haven't read the book nor have I seen the series, but apparently the game follows the storyline pretty closely. By 1989 InfoCom had already produced a very long list of impressive IF titles, such as the Zork trilogy, the "Hitchikers guide to the Galaxy" and "A mind forever voyaging." That year they released "Shogun" based on the book Sh?gun by James Clavell, who also wrote the screenplay for a miniseries featured in the 1980's bearing the same title. They represent a class of games that contain excellent writing and intelligent, difficult puzzles. InfoComs interactive fiction games are a brand by themselves.
