Ship Simulator 2008 Collector’s Edition allows users to take control of a wide array of ship types - from massive cargo ships and ferries, to speedboats, yachts, water taxis and even the mighty Titanic. Players can sail into exciting international harbors such as San Francisco, Rotterdam, New York, Southampton, Marseille, Hamburg and others. Extremely entertaining – but far more than a game -Ship Simulator 2008 Collector’s Edition challenges armchair captains to maneuver their vessels of all sorts across the ocean and through crowded ports around the world. The game will be available in popular software retail outlets across the United States as of April 26, 2011.
“With the unfortunate closing of Lighthouse - the original North American publisher of the Ship Simulator 2008– we felt that this fine product never got the publicity and distribution it deserved, and we are delighted to be able to help our partner Iceberg Interactive with its re-release,” said IGS CEO and founder, Paul Lombardi. “With the addition of the exciting new features found only in this Collector’s Edition, we feel that anyone with an interest in ships will be extremely pleased with this product.”
