Hello all (or maybe 'Ahoy ya scurvy dogs!' would be better?)*
*first post, cut me some slack...
I need a spot of help.
After a long time looking I have managed to download a copy of Devil's Thumb 1999 pc game 'Tides of War', a game I played back in the day and enjoyed it despite it's shortcomings - I sure some of you will know of it.
The game opens fine and seems to respond (the ship rotates in the direction of mouse clicks) but, even with full sail, I cannot get the ship to move...
I'm presuming (hoping) it's not a game fault, but a 'raise the anchor, you idiot!' thing but there's no obvious means of doing so on screen so I'm [further] presuming anchor raising is a keyboard command?
Is this right? And if so does anyone have a copy of the manual, or the necessary instructions I need..?
TIA
