Game-a-day #74...R.M.S Titanic

As a kid I was fascinated with the Titanic.  They actually discovered the wreak of Titanic when I was in sixth grade in 1985.  Before they found it there was a lot of speculation about what would happen if it were ever found.  Would they raise it, would there be treasure on board?  Anyhow, The same year they found it this game came out, "R.M.S Titanic: The recovery mission".  The game revolves around an expedition to the shipwreck in a special submarine.  It's a complicated game, and the goal is to raise the ship through puzzle solving.  It's not an easy game at all, and sometimes not all that interesting to play.  I never finished it, but the graphics are great, and as a kid I liked how complicated the submarine controls were, and the fact that you had to use a robot arm.  There's even a press conference scenario where you answer questions.  It's a detailed game and you need time to play it, so it's not for the faint retro gamer, it's hard core.  Might as well mention that this month (April) marks the 100th anniversary of the launch and sinking of Titanic... "I'm the king of the world!"
