This could quite possibly be the best thing ever, it isn’t but it could be, maybe….
In some ultimate universe where there aren’t any good things….
The thing that makes this game/activity so…. I’d like to say great but is isn’t great so I’m going to have to go with the word worthwhile. Well what makes it worthwhile is that it’s free. So its competition is flash games and the free games that come with your PC. What puts I above flash games is that you don’t need your internet connection to be active wile you play. This is handy for those of you still suffering the pain of 56k (or worse).
So how did I find it? Well I was looking for information on the Pirates of the Caribbean massive multiplayer role playing game (MMORPG), but that’s a story for another day.
Anyway wile looking around the official site I found this, the desktop galleon.
All it is really is just navy battles. Very much in the style of Tortuga, although instead of blue water the battles take place over your desktop. In my case pink, with lots of writing saying ‘I love you’, sometimes a guy needs to feel special (it wasn’t me who made it, it was my girlfriend).

Although similar to Tortuga it is more Arcady, with power ups and lives, as you would expect from a free game given out to make the fans happy. It also has a neat touch in the form of its music. Being an official release it also includes an official sound track.
The game also contains ‘treasure’ in the form of design sketches which are awarded to you for progressing around the map. Although not amazing by any stretch of the imagination it gives you a nice goal to aim for.
My one problem with the game is that occasionally by accident you can click onto a desktop icon, this stops you from being able to control you ship, yet they can still shoot at you.
So should you get it? Yes, you should, it’s the kind of game you can get away with playing at work or school and it’s free. Free and better then some games you have to pay for.
