OLEMME MENOSSA MERELLE KAPTEENI! Havets Hesker, Havets Hasgar, Herrscher der Meere, Merien Valtias. Game with no known English release, and finding Nordic country release is extremely rare, especially since since each copy hold only one language, so buying a original German copy, won't give other languages. I personally have Finnish copy of the game, and like most people, i too got it along side with from PC gaming magazine. I didn't even know that game have official release here in Finland at some point, and i was surprise to see it at listed in second hand shop. So i now i don't only have digital copy (that i found some time ago) but also two physical copies. (one sealed) I love the combat, love trading, love Finnish translation of the game that is always rare to see. I highly doubt we get to see this game here in GOG, but if we do, i know a whole lot of people that would be overjoy for this, because most probably think this game, is nothing but lost media these days.
