Swift Office Ships is a clone of the classic game Battleships. The only thing that differs is that Swift Office Ships is played on a Mac in a Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous) network instead of a piece of paper. If there is no other player available you can also play it against a computer opponent.

The bad news is that cheating isn't possible, so e.g. you cannot place your very last submarine while the game is already in progress ;-)

Here are some key features of "Swift Office Ships":
Easy and intuitive to use
High fun-factor
Human and computer opponents
Playable in a Bonjour network.

Limitations:
Player's name cannot be changed.
The game can be tested for a period of 15 days before it has to be registered.

What's New:
Without network connection still possible to play against the computer opponent.
Other minor fixes.

Requirements:
At least G3 processor with 256 MB RAM
A local network connection (via ethernet cable or wireless) is essential for the communication between players.
Make sure that ports 51001 and 51002 are not blocked by the firewall. If the firewall on your Mac is activated please add a new service ( System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall > New…) that opens these two ports. You don't have to do this if your firewall is off.
