For my part I could very well imagine a fantastic Pirate sim or maybe a Captain Nemo game with this engine. Why no sim about treasure hunters, I have been waiting for this one for 15 years? If it said UBISoft Romania I wouldn't hesitate.

I mean shouldn't UBI have noticed that they are having the currently best naval engine at their hands, even though the next game needs a wider appeal to be successful?
Actually there WAS a sim about treasure hunting. Looooong time agon in CGA graphics. It was actually kind of entertaining. Cant remember the name of it but basically you had to locate wrecks, dive on them, recover treasure, and stay financially sound while upgrading your equipment. There were competitors and "claim jumpers" too.

Anyone remember this game ?

And now for something completly different :P http://www.jawsthegame.com/
