1869 is a 1992 simulation game developed by Max Design and published by Flair Software.
The game is played by managing a trading company during the golden age of clipper ships, purchasing goods at one port, moving them to another and selling them at a profit. Passengers can also be transported on certain ships.
The game supports up to four players who take turns giving orders to their ships. If there is more than one player then the game starts with a ship auction of a number of schooners, the starting price is lower than they can be found for in game and the number available is always one less than the number of players.
Additional bonus revenues can be earned from running naval blockades, shipping tea to England or making a priority goods delivery.
1869 is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
