SourceForge at last
Spice Trade game has finally reached the safe have of SourceForge. The current release (v1.1) of this rpg/strategy/adventure game hybrid has been put on the SourceForge and is available for download.
The game has been implemented in Java (1.4 or higher) and should run on pretty much any machine with a +1.4 JVM. Spice Trade is an artistic simulation made with a twinkle in the eye, with an emphasis on placing yourself
in someone else’s shoes and questioning European values systems as universal, rather than historic
accuracy. The game character is a poor man who has lost his parents, inherited some land and a house.
He becomes a trader of spices and herbs in Baghdad at a time when Europeans are starting their “great
voyages of exploration”. The game character has to ensure that the Europeans do not take over his
country and his culture, while he has to expand the sphere of influence of his own culture.
