Master And Commander Engage And Destroy

You control your ship with the left and right arrow keys and the space bar. The arrow keys move the Surprise left and right and the space bar fires her cannons. In the lower left corner of the screen, you will find an indicator which shows how many cannons are loaded and ready to fire at any given time. You do not have to have all cannons loaded to fire neither does the Acheron. The health of each ship is displayed at the top of the screen. Your ship and the Acheron sustain damage when hit by enemy fire. The first ship whose health bar reaches zero has lost the battle. Defeat the Acheron and claim her rize or fall to her and claim a watery grave. Its a battle between you and a fellow rival ship. Fire your cannons just right so that they hit the other sailing ship before they hit you. Intercept the French privateer, Acheron. You will sink, burn or take her a prize. You are the captain of the HMS Surprise. You have been given orders to intercept the French privateer, Acheron. Finding her in a heavy fog off of the Galapagos Islands, you engage her in battle.
