INLAY CARD TEXT
A GRAPHIC TRADING GAME FOR THE 48K SPECTRUM
You are the proud owner of the "Titan Trader", sailing around
the coast of Britain buying and selling goods wherever you
dock. Unfortunately, with the crew demanding more wages, your
cargo worth less than you paid for it and pirates off the
port bow, life is not easy for the Master Mariner.
