Sorta, but it was more of a treasure map with grids, and half the screen on the right chopped off with the game logo and some stats.
I don't think you had a HP meter or anything like that to be honest...

I think the game might of been an educational game, or even part of a collection!
Bumping this topic but unfortunately I don't have any new information. :( I'm still trying to look for it but haven't had any luck, I've been asking around at other sites and nobody seems to know.
Seems right that it would have been educational, I can remember only very few instances where just "games" showed up on school computers that weren't put there by students.
Do you know closer to what years you would have encountered the game? If we could limit it to stuff before 1991 or even earlier that might help a little, sounds like it's a much older game just by the description of the graphics.
Hope we can find it soon!
@ Mugen: It could of been anything from the mid Eighties to the early Ninties, vague I know, but I can't really remember!
@ Coop: Sorry, it's not any of those. But thanks guys for trying!
I've been looking for the same game for atleast 5 years now!
A game where you roam around in a pirate ship uncovering tiles that contain different things?
Ok, I know a shareware disc that has this game on it. I'm going to order it off of amazon and FINALLY give you people the name of this game. I swear!Quote:

The mention of a blue floppy disc does sound familiar though, unfortunately google doesn't give much under blue floppy disk haha.
Any news?

Could it be Redhook's Revenge? :roll:

Got the name, someone else found it on another website where I posted the description.
The name is Pirate's Plunder by Dexterity Software.
It's a game for Windows 3.1/95 and came on the 3500 pc games for windows 95/3.1 disk.

I finally tracked it down - it's a game on the BBC Micro called Pirate by a company called Chalksoft. Can't find it online, but I have tracked down the Spectrum version. Now just need to work out how to load the bloody thing...

Your quest to find this game reminds me of my quest to find a copy of the Red Sonja soundtrack some years ago. There are easily obtainable reprints now, but this wasn't the case back in the last decade. I started looking in 2003, and eventually found a copy of a limited edition reprint in 2007. So took me several years and a lot of patience.
I salute your patience and success!
Well, it took me a while, but I finally got to play the game, the original BBC Micro version, on emulation. Here is my first time (trying to) play it in over 20 years:
