Clipper is a 1983 video game written by John S. Bayes for the Atari 8-bit family and published by Program Design, Inc.[1]

Gameplay

Clipper is a game in which the player is the Captain of an 1850s Clipper ship in a sailing simulation.[2]

Reception

Mark 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]
