Sea Rogue

aka: Sea Rogue: An International Quest For Sunken Treasure
Moby ID: 7512

Silver bars, plundered by Spain in the New World. Gold doubloons that were once a pirate's prize. And ruby necklaces placed lovingly in the captain's safe on an "unsinkable" luxary liner. All lie scattered on the ocean floor, waiting for the adventurer bold enough to grab them.

This is the challenge that awaits you in SEA ROGUE, the undersea treasure hunt that lets you rise from a diver on a rickety scow to the commander of a high-tech treasure probe. If you're brave and skillful enough, you'll move ever onward to the ultimate challenges - like salvaging The Titanic and the notorious WW II German battleship, The Bismarck . But first, you'll have to overcome a host of mortal dangers:

  • Outwit claim jumpers, hijackers, and drug smugglers!
  • Go head-to-head with the sea's deadliest denizens, including sharks and barracudas.
  • Handle the ever-changing weather, sudden storms and dangerous shifts in ocean currents.

You won't be facing all these dangers alone, though. Because you command a crew of five, whose skills can be assigned from six different categories. Side by side, you'll search for history's greatest sunken treasures in the North Atlantic, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal, the Gulf of Mexico, the East Coast of the U.S., and Great Britain. Each theater brings its own special risks and rewards.

You even decide who winds up with those rewards, because you can play SEA ROGUE as a fortune hunter or as a seagoing scientist. Either way, museums and governments will be clamoring to acquire your finds.

But only if you succeed. Make a wrong move - say a wrong word to the wrong person - and your only reward will be a watery grave.

SEA ROGUE. It takes you to new depths of excitement.
