Palm: Tradewinds

If you are business-minded, you’ll love this game. 🙂

The objective of this game is build your empire. In order to to this, you’ll fight ships and trade goods. Your aim is to be able to make 1 billion gold and retire. Can you do it? I’ve done it using Gossamer! (Have to try the other 3 characters though).

You have an option to choose one character to potray in this game:

• Douglas McGowan – successful trader who recently fell on hard times. Douglas worked his way back from being an apprentice clerk to running his own trading company, which he believes will once again prosper. Until he can prosper, no other captains will sail with him.
• Petra Gale – The only child of notorious South Sea pirates, she has a gift for trouble. Due to a misunderstanding, the mainland authorities launched a misguided attempt to impound her ship. Running from the Law has caused unforeseen expenses, but luckily the moneylender was more than happy to help.
• Madame Tso – After the death of her husband, she stepped in to become the successful boss of a highly prosperous merchant fleet. She has a highly respected reputation in certain circles and plans to leverage this to expand her operation overseas.
• Gossamer – most notorious brigand of the Far East. Wanted for crimes of piracy in 6 countries. Not much is known about this mysterious figure.
