This is an educational game targeted towards children age 9 and up. The player gets to learn how to read a map, use a compass, and how wind sailing, trading supplies and repairs work.

Much to the dismay of swashbuckling students, pirates often get short shrift from teachers who would rather cover events such as the Boston Tea Party than the lifestyle of colorful thieves. Captain’s Quest however, delves into the dark side of history by placing you at the helm of a ship and sending you on a quest to sink or plunder a ship, steal silver, and gather enough dirt for that killer book you’ll write when you finally lose your sea legs.
