This "game" is intended to increase awareness of the bitter reality of the Atlantic Slave Trade by placing the participants into the role of a slave ship captain. All decisions and actions that you, as a player, will make are not exaggerated; but were made repeatedly by thousands over the course of approximately 300 years

what a horrible way to present this information..
a bit boring.. way too much clicking to get to useful info.. and it took me a minute to figure out that i had to click the compass to get the game going...
What a "nice" design for such a terribble subject too. baby blue? cmon
The music!! there should be way to mute the music without muting the voice.

Unghf, that was painful. Sorry, I got bored before I was even two dots across the Atlantic - there should have been more game instruction at the beginning, leaving the sanctimonious droning to droll on throughout play.
Here's a thought for you though - if you take the long term, purely logical viewpoint, you could argue that the mass export of African slaves to a new continent is evolutionary successful, where they're concerned. For sure, it was morally repugnant and many hundreds of thousands were lost and brutalised for a couple of hundred years - but from now 'til the end of humanity, there will be two massive poolings of African gene families. The descendants of those 14.5 million Africans have embedded themselves in the wealth and potential of the new world. Given history's course, would these same descendants be any better off had they remained in Africa?
- also slave trade already existed in Africa within tribes before the Europeans started...menos
- haven't tried this, just the idea of having to register puts me off. plus all these comments don't help ;pmenos

It'd be better if it was a first person shooter type thing.

this sucks, you can only loose slaves and you can never win. There is no "slaves are happy" or "crew enjoys your sense of humor" results

In some aspects slavery was better, what explains the wealth's war on it.
