To drift further off, there was also a container shipping simulation called Ports of Call.

There are even new games that reminds me of ports of call, like https://store.steampowered.com/app/501080/Fishing_Barents_Se... and https://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/Euro_Truck_Simulat...

Is really relaxing to play them from time to time

I tried Euro Truck Simulator because I remember an old DOS truck game from back when quite fondly, but I found ETS to be rather tedious and repetitive, and all I want to do is to break the traffic rules to go faster, :p.

Did enjoy Farming Simulator as well, even if the version of the game I played looked like it was made 20 years ago. I wonder if the latest one is any better, I think I got it with PS Plus the other day.

I find ETS to be relaxing, I like long drives in real life to. I let my mind wonder while looking at the landscape and listening to music.

It's still being developed: https://www.portsofcall.de/

Wow, I have been looking for that for about a decade. I played it a few times at a friend's house as a child and was mesmerised.

I used to play that a ton as a teenager on my Amiga 500, but it just is not as much fun on an emulator, rose tinted glasses.

Yeah for some reason PoC was such a fun game!

Me too!! I thought I was the only one who'd ever heard of it

It is also being sold on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085260/Ports_of_Call_Cla...
