The best looking and best playing harbor simulation of all! Featuring 120 ships, tons of buildings and many more! SimHarbor Read Me Version 1.5 Intro You are asked to build a harbor for a town near the Atlantic ocean. The location is near the routes between Europe and America, so chances are good to get some shipping companies to use the harbor. You and your compagnions found a firm, the "SimHarbor Building and Construction Society" (SBCS) and with a starting capital of 200.000 £ from the City Council the work begins. Playing SimHarbor In the beginning there is water. Start the harbor from any side, but note that the ocean is to the north, all floods, hurricans etc. will come from there. Use the tools to add piers, cranes and warehouses. Use the tool button with the little boat to set your company boat. Click on the boat for a popup with more items; you may use shift- arrowkeys to sail the boat. Make use of the shift- and optionkey with each tool e.g. shift-lighthouse will bring a green one. Tip: Start it small, one pier with cranes and some warehouses should do fine. Soon the first ships will make use of your harbor. Small ships will come to simple piers, larger ships need cranes and storeroom. Be sure to keep enough storeroom for the incomming ships. Oiltankers need tanks, cargo ships warehouses etc. The message box will bring you information about the companies needs. Building houses like fire stations, emergency departements and shipyards will raise the quality of your harbor and will attract more ships to come. After every year you will get a detailed report about income and expenses (not to forget taxes). Use the statistical and financial charts to get informed about what is going on. Read the newspapers about the latest developments in the shipping world. Mr. Faraday, Mr. Goddard, Mr Marconi and Mr. Mendel from the SBCS will give you advice if needed, Mr. Pasteur speaks for the shipping firms and their interests. Build a flourishing harbor ! System Hardware Requirements SimHarbor requires a PPC Macintosh computer. It was tested on PPCs from OS 7.x up to OS X in classic mode. A screen size between 640x480 and 1024x768 pixel is recommended.
