As a kid, I loved these games - Ports of Call, Railroad Tycoon, Sim City, Theme Park - and learned more about economics than in any classroom. Played them day and night! 🎮📈

Games in the 80s were mostly created in the US and the UK. Other markets - such as Germany - didn't have such a known and established gaming industry, but some smaller teams and lesser known companies. One of those was Aegis Interactive Entertainment, basically consisting of German duo Rolf-Dieter Klein and Martin Ulrich. What they created in 1986 still looks incredibly gorgeous today, 40 years later: Ports of Call

Granted, the gameplay is not overly complex - you buy ships, trade goods, face the occasional action sequence challenge, and slowly see your bank account grow (or shrink). However, that simplicity in terms of gameplay doesn't mean that game was bland. The graphics were absolutely wonderful at the time (and still are), the music and sound effects were superb, and the game had a really good flow.

Not sure whether it was that known outside of Germany (no PR or marketing power for a small company back then without a big publisher), but I think it's one of Germany's finest games of the 80s.

It is depressing how slow common daily business processes at traditional banks still are. Account openings, new powers of attorney, e-banking setup. We’re still talking about processing times in the range of weeks instead of hours.
