Harbor Sim For Mac!

For a few long years, I've been absolutely crazy about sims, especially economic simulations like Transport Tycoon. On the other hand, I can't say I tried them all, so maybe there's some other harbor sim available out there, but Youda Marina is the first one I ever bumped into, and since it's also a Mac software, we just got ourselves a new and interesting topic!

According to the official press release, "Youda Marina is a simulation and time management game all rolled into one," and while some sims aren't looking that great, I must confess I love Youda Marina's looks. Of course, most people could say the graphics are outdated, and they may be right, but I always like to keep gameplay and strategy in mind before looking at the graphics and going "WoW" all the time.

The main features of this harbor sim for Mac are listed below:

- 4 different maps
- Lots of buildings and facilities to construct
- All kinds of ships and boats
- Challenging milestones
- Creativity with your marina design
- Amazing graphics
- Reggae music for the real tropical vibe
- Breaking waves and sea-gull sound effects
- Many hours of great fun
- A fantastic tropical adventure!

Just don't point any fingers at me - that's the features list as given by the publisher, and not my take. I will keep my opinion and say that Youda Marina is more about the fun had while playing, instead of the amazement delivered by astonishing graphics.

Priced at $19.95, Youda Marina is available through Macgamestore.com and Mac Games Arcade as a digital download, and requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later.
