Gameplay
edit
Clipper is a game in which the player is the Captain of an 1850s clipper in a sailing simulation.[2]
Reception
editMark Bausman reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "The game plays well but I found the constant shifts in wind to be a bit frustrating. The instruction book is very helpful and gives many hints on how to play this game. It also includes a little historical background on Clipper ships and a playing aid to help novice sailors keep their Clipper on course."[2]
