Hi,
What was the name of a game where you commanded a ship that had to travel from port to port to buy and sell stuff, and then with the earned money you could improve your ship? If you didn't improve it, the ship would drown sooner or later. The game is very primitive and the graphics aren't good, but the game is quite interesting anyway.

Sounds a little like Sid Meier's Pirates!.

No, it isn't. The game I have in mind is quite different. You need to travel from port to port transporting stuff. And the graphics are really poor when compared with the game you indicated.

It took me a couple of days to come up with a name for my quess. Could the game be Ports of Call?

Released the same year as Pirates!, I see. 1987: Good year for seafaring.
