His Majesty's Ship Impetuous

The Good
Easy going story, with interesting plot & characters. Simple to pick up and play. Each decision you make can make changes in the story, & how successful you are, & what the crew thinks of you. Different endings.

The Bad
Limited amount of decisions made in game. Not being able to see previous prose, which can have effect if you forgot what is being said.

The Bottom Line
This is a very early Interactive Fiction (IF) type of game in the time of Horatio Hornblower & the war against France. Simpler than an adventure, but makes up for that with nice storyline. Abrupt ending, due to version played I expect, rather than game. Although not finished I expect I had seen most of the plot, & although you can keep playing afresh for new endings, after awhile they would get boring. If you like IF you will probably like to play this in an historical sense, & is worth a playthrough.
