Does anyone remember Redhooks Revenge? It was a maritime-themed trivia board game with risk battle mechanics for DOS. You can see the original here:

I actually received permission from ImagiSOFT to build the sequel, titled Redhook's Revenge: Call of Booty which adds in 1000s of general trivia questions, which is freely available on itch.io:

I remember. I never imagined Is ever actually get any friends to play along with me but I also never imagined there'd be a sequel!
Yes! My mother and I would play this quite a bit together! Though it would always crash on us during certain quiz segments. But it certainly was the first time I learned of the term 'Union Jack.'

I'll give your sequel a try! Thanks for the nostalgic reminder!
