Though tracking down Windjammers wasn't exactly simple, it's hardly the most complicated deal that Imbert's had to put together.
|
|
And though DotEmu hasn't had much luck reaching out to Windjammers' creators, it did acquire the game's original ROM.
|
|
In one of the more unexpected PSX 203 reveals, Sony confirmed that Windjammers is coming to PS4 and PS Vita.
|

To that end, he quickly recruited Windjammers France, a group of hardcore fans who've been organizing tournaments for 10 years.
|
|
A retro gaming diehard, Imbert has a list of Neo Geo classics he wants to revive, and Windjammers was high up there.
|
|
But even with the technical rights to Windjammers, Imbert claimed he couldn't feel comfortable without the blessing of the game's original publisher, SNK.
|
|
I became aware of Windjammers because my former editor at Giant Bomb, Jeff Gerstmann, made the game an in-office multiplayer favorite in 2013.
|
|
The larger public's awareness of Windjammers is so low, in fact, that Gerstmann's self-driven revival is even noted on the game's Wikipedia page.
|
|
Over the years, I'd heard that various studios, including Iron Galaxy, had looked into getting the rights to Windjammers, but for various reasons, it didn't happen.
|
|
Paon DP had apparently turned down previous offers to acquire Windjammers, but partially driven by the amount of other Japanese games DotEmu had worked on, they signed off on their pitch.

The Halifax Windjammers were a franchise in the World Basketball League that began play in 1991. The team continued operation after the WBL folded in 1992, when they joined the newly formed National Basketball League. The NBL folded midway through the 1994 season, when the Windjammers were in first place. The team played their home games at the Halifax Metro Centre.

The windjammers carrying the bagged grain called at Falmouth, England or Queenstown, Ireland for orders of where the grain was to be taken. Many of the smaller ports were visited only by coastal ketches and schooners. Port Victoria also had an anchorage offshore for the larger windjammers. These were loaded from the ketches which were in turn loaded at the jetty.

The game combines elements of air hockey and tennis in a manner similar to the game Windjammers. However, while Windjammers is played from an overhead top-down perspective from the sidelines, Disc Jam is played from a behind the character, third-person perspective. The game feature 1 vs 1, and 2 vs 2 matches, allowing for up to four player multiplayer, either locally or online.

The most famous player to ever suit up for the 'Jammers was Keith Smart, who scored the game winning basket in the 1987 NCAA championship game. Milt Newton won the 1991 WBL Slam Dunk contest as a member of the Windjammers while Willie Bland led the league in rebounding in the same year (at 12.3 per game).WBL statistics Nova Scotian Kevin Veinot had also played on the Halifax Windjammers basketball team. He played post position and was very strong.

His ships were bought cheaply as most shipping companies switched to steam ships about the turn of the century; Erikson would often acquire ships at shipbreakers prices. In the early 1920s there was still some competition for the windjammers sold – the shipping company F. Laeisz even ordered new sailing ships in the 1920s – but in the 1930s Erikson owned a significant share of the operational windjammers of the world. In March 1935, he purchased Moshulu, "one of the finest steel barques afloat", for only $12,000.

The last Victory ships had already been equipped with marine diesels, and diesel engines superseded both steamers and windjammers soon after World War Two. Most steamers were used up to their maximum economical life span, and no commercial ocean-going steamers with reciprocating engines have been built since the 1960s.

Two stories are often reproduced regarding the fate of the Marlborough, which have been debunked by author Basil Lubbock in his The Last of the Windjammers. They were the Ghost ship and the Burley account. The ghost ship story is considered fictional, while the Burley account is considered one of mistaken identity.

The SCYC was active in hosting several long-distance races down from San Francisco Bay, including the still popular Windjammers Race (1938). Held on Memorial Day weekend and later on Labor Day, the Windjammers event blossomed into the premier local sailing event. Dozens of the Bay Area’s finest yachts stood at anchor off the wharf following their run down the coast. Cries of “Shore boat!” echoed across the moorings, bringing Sea Scouts scurrying about dropping off Sunday papers and ice and ferrying sailors to and from shore. SCYC members prepared breakfast for the racers, providing sustenance for the long weekend’s activities. The large regattas were suspended for the duration of World War II but most of the club’s yachts remained active.

The later windjammers, which were usually large four-masted barques optimized on cargo and handling rather than running, usually made the voyage in 90 to 105 days. The fastest recorded time on Great Grain Races was on Finnish four-masted barque , 83 days in 1933. Her master on the voyage was the Finnish captain Ruben de Cloux.

Four-masted, iron-hulled barque Herzogin Cecilie—one of the fastest windjammers built A windjammer is a commercial sailing ship with multiple masts that may be either square rigged or fore-and-aft rigged or a combination of the two. The informal term arose during the transition from the Age of Sail to the Age of Steam.

It was the first large gathering of tall ships since the time of the windjammers, and its success led to the annual Parade and to the foundation of the first sail training organization in Germany (Clipper DJS). Today, the Parade is often headed by the Gorch Fock, a sister ship to the German-built USCGC Eagle (WIX-327).

The first overseas sailing ship to come to Port Victoria was the Cardigan Castle. It loaded 1800 tons of bagged grain and sailed to Europe in February 1879. By 1883 twenty three sailing ships (windjammers) had anchored in the bay between Wardang Island and the mainland, some visiting more than once. This was the beginning of the bagged grain trade between the Spencer Gulf ports and the markets of Europe.

Iron-hulled sailing ships, often referred to as "windjammers" or "tall ships", represented the final evolution of sailing ships at the end of the Age of Sail. They were built to carry bulk cargo for long distances in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They were the largest of merchant sailing ships, with three to five masts and square sails, as well as other sail plans. They carried lumber, guano, grain or ore between continents.

During January, 1926, a Fordson rail tractor displaced the animal power. From 1931, the railways contracted out the service to a private operator. The service ceased altogether on 3 August 1942, but the tractor continued to shunt wheat wagons between the station yard and the jetty until moved elsewhere. Ketches carried the grain from the jetty 8 kilometres out into the gulf where the larger windjammers were anchored to carry the grain back to England.

At the early 1880s Mattson started shipping business first as minor shareholder of various ships, later as sole owner. He bought old, at least quarter of century old sailing ships. By the 1890s steamers started to replace sailing ships and Mattson could obtain good sailing ships for relatively cheap. Until the end of the 19th century Mattson only owned wooden ships; in 1900 he bought majority ownership of two steel- hulled windjammers and one barque.

Founded in 1947 by Michael Burke, the company scheduled one and two week cruises in the Caribbean and Central America, using a fleet of sailing tall ships. The ships were former yachts and commercial vessels that were refurbished as cruise vessels, accommodating 60–100 paying passengers and 20–40 officers and crewmembers. The ships were refitted to resemble 19th century sailing vessels called windjammers. Caribbean itineraries included the British Virgin Islands, French West Indies, Grenadines, the ABC islands and The Bahamas.

It was selected based on a study followed by a name-the- team contest in which "schooner" was the winning selection. Other names that were considered by Donoval were Atlantic Windjammers and Atlantic Storm. The goal was to have a regional team that would represent all of Atlantic Canada. The logo was a stylized "A" in the shape of a schooner that rode on four waves, representing the four Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland.

It was lengthened three times to a total length of in 1949. The farmland served by the port was approximately . Bagged grain was brought in horse-drawn wagons, and later by motor truck to be weighed and stacked in large mouse-proof sheds and yards. Much of the grain loaded into ketches, such as the Falie, Waimana, Coringle and Eva Lita was transferred into "windjammers" with names such as the Passat, København and Pamir which were anchored off Port Victoria.

Bone's career at sea began when he apprenticed at 15 on the City of Florence, "an old-time square-rigger". He also served on windjammers in Australia, with Anchor Line, and on a troop ship during the Boer War. He corresponded and eventually became friends with Joseph Conrad who inspired him to stick with his career as a mariner and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a ship Bone captained. Muirhead Bone, one of his brothers, illustrated his book Merchantmen-at-Arms.

A Nashville Banner illustration indicative the Tigers' 1893 season One bright spot of the homestand occurred on May 9 when the recently acquired Hoffer nearly no-hit the Montgomery Colts. He allowed only one hit, a ground rule double, and walked four batters in the 8–0 Tigers win. Wet grounds at Athletic Park necessitated a premature end to the Nashville games on June 2 and the transfer of the upcoming series with the Atlanta Windjammers to the away team's grounds. On May 29, the battered Tigers had dropped into last place.

The fish pens were converted into cabins and the engine removed to make room for sleeping quarters. Adventures prowess in the Gulf of Maine earned her the nickname "Queen of the Windjammers." In 1964 she was sold to Captain Jim Sharp of Camden, Maine, who continued her career in the tourist trade for nearly twenty-four years. In 1988, Captain Sharp donated Adventure to the people of Gloucester to be preserved as Gloucester's historic tall ship, to be used to educate the public about the role of fishing in American history.

The National Basketball League that was based in Canada lasted only one and a half seasons in 1993 and 1994. It rose from the ashes of the World Basketball League which folded after the 1992 season, which had teams in various Canadian and American cities. The NBL's first game was played on May 1, 1993 when the Cape Breton Breakers visited the Halifax Windjammers. The Breakers won the regular season championship with a 30-16 record, but they lost the championship finals to Saskatoon three games to one.

Some clipper ships that had square rigs and for whom speed was critical could be much faster; for example Cutty Sark could make . The late windjammers were as fast as the clippers, being much bigger. Not only could a smaller sail be managed by a smaller crew but also these smaller sails constrained the impact of weapons on them. A hole from a cannonball affected only one sail's area, whilst a hole in a large sail would eventually tear the whole larger area and reduce more of the vessel's motive power.

Gustaf Erikson. Pommern in Mariehamn 2005 Gustaf Adolf Mauritz Erikson (1872, Lemland – 1947) was a ship-owner from Mariehamn, in the Åland islands. He was famous for the fleet of windjammers he operated to the end of his life, mainly on the grain trade from Australia to Europe. Erikson was involved in sailing for virtually his entire life. He went to sea at age 9, was commanding a sailing vessel in the North Sea trade by age 19, and was master of a number of square-rigged vessels before becoming an owner.

The London Gazette Publication date:12 September 1919 Issue:31553 Page:11575 Between 1922 and 1924 he captained the RMS Majestic, which was then the world's largest ship, and retired as Commodore of the White Star Line in 1924 when the company reinstated the rank. In 1925 he published his memoirs, Hull Down, Reminisces of Windjammers, Troops and Travellers, in the book Fox-Hayes makes no mention of the ill-fated RMS Titanic even though he was with the White Star Line at the time of the sinking. He remained a bachelor and died on 15 May 1941 at his home in Liverpool.

By the late 1930s, the South Australian grain trade was virtually the only profitable use for windjammers, and then only if the ship owner minimized costs as much as possible. Erikson supplied his ships adequately with crew and supplies as these were necessary for his ships to sail quickly and efficiently, but supplied neither more crew nor equipment than was necessary. Erikson's large four-masted barques would routinely sail on voyages of with less than 30 crew. A young Eric Newby sailed to Australia on Moshulu in 1938–1939, as part of the South Australian grain trade.

For decades, it hosted the Maine Principals' Association basketball tournament each February, as well as the graduation ceremonies for Bangor High School in June. It also served as the home of the Maine Windjammers of the Continental Basketball Association, and the University of Maine men's and women's basketball teams for a few seasons until 1992. The V-shape style of the building gave it the look of giant wings and adds to the atmosphere. A statue of Paul Bunyan towered outside as a symbol of the city's prosperous history as a lumber port in the early-to-mid-19th century.

At the end of the sailing era windjammers were developed to carry large volumes of low value cargo long distances. Some of the most popular ships were four- masted barques, since the four-masted barque is considered the most efficient rig available because of its ease of handling, small need of manpower, good running capabilities, and good capabilities of rising toward wind. Once in San Francisco the crews often deserted the ships. The ship owners found little cargo of value to ship back to the East Coast out of California and the ships often went back in ballast with a cargo of useless rocks.

Under the Big Top In 1971 Charles Bennett Jr. and Art Stensvad gathered fans of circus music and veteran circus bandleaders including Merle Evans into a circus music preservation society known as Windjammers Unlimited. The group meets twice annually to study and play the compositions of classic era circus music composers such as M. L. Lake and Karl L. King. They've also researched in the archives of the C.L. Barnhouse publishing company which was a major supplier of sheet music for circus bands. Music that imitates or evokes the sound of the circus has also been written, often showing up in film scores, some dedicated to the subject and some not.

She was bought by the Spencer's Gulf Transport Company Limited in 1922, and named Falie, after the captain's wife, Philomena "Falie" Garnaut. In 1923, she sailed to South Australia, and participated in the extensive ketch trade to isolated towns along the coast of South Australia, as well as interstate ports. She also participated in the grain trade, lightering bagged wheat to the windjammers that called at Port Victoria, in South Australia, which as the last port of call in the world for wind-powered ocean-going cargo ships, is significant in world history. During World War II, the Royal Australian Navy requisitioned Falie, and commissioned her as HMAS Falie.

Dotemu, the game's developer and publisher, approached the Windjammers intellectual property owner Paon DP for a chance to develop a port to the original game and a brand new game in the series. In order to be faithful to the original game, Kevin Delbrayelle, who had retro-engineered the first game's program codes during the production of its port, return to lead the sequel's technical development. Similar to Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap and Streets of Rage 4, the game features hand-drawn 2D animation visuals. The game's preproduction started in late 2017 and the title was officially announced during a Nintendo Direct held in August 2018.

Ghostlop was created by most of the same team that previously worked on several projects at Data East for the Neo Geo platforms such as Spinmaster, Windjammers, Karnov's Revenge, Street Slam and the Magical Drop franchise, after which a group of employees would later go on to work at Kaneko on Cyvern: The Dragon Weapons before the former company declared bankruptcy in 2003. Its development was helmed by Nitro Ball director Koji Jinbo as producer, with Yuzuru Tsukahara serving as the project's sole designer. Programmers Kenichi Minegishi, Osapan, Sandy Hirokun and Sho Chang wrote the game's software. Endo Chang and several artists were in charge of creating the pixel art, while Tony Taka acted as character designer.

Exploration is one of the strengths of the collection with objects from the voyages of Macasssan seafarers, Nicolas Baudin, Matthew Flinders, and John Franklin. The colonial navy of South Australia is another strength including the contingent that took HMCS Protector to the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The Museum preserves 17 figureheads, the largest collection in Australia with the earliest being the Ville de Bourdeaux, built in 1836. The Museum holds very good collections of vintage swimwear, material from the Adelaide Steamship Company, from the Gulf Trip that offered tours from 1906 to 1955, and the grain trade which delivered wheat and barley to Europe by windjammers rounding Cape Horn in sail up until 1949.

The Falie at Port Adelaide The Mosquito Fleet was the fleet of small ketches and schooners operating in the shallow coastal and gulf waters of South Australia, from the colony's establishment in 1836 until 1982. From the State's main port of Port Adelaide they supplied goods to many isolated regional settlements, returning with cargoes of agricultural products (particularly wheat and wool) and minerals. They also played a role in lightering grain to load larger vessels offshore in deeper waters, the most famous example being to windjammers off Port Victoria, Spencer Gulf, which until 1949 marked the start of the Great Grain Race. Among the last surviving ketches are the 1883 Nelcebee (owned by the South Australian Maritime Museum) and the 1919-built Falie.

The title of the former book refers to the last grain race before the outbreak of World War II. The latter contains more than 150 of the photographs Newby took while aboard. Whilst windjammers exist and sail the seas to this day, the last windjammer carrying cargo was the Peruvian Omega (ex Drumcliff) which was in use until her loss in 1958. Moshulu, like all grain ships, was lightly manned; during Newby's time on the ship the total crew numbered only 28, including 4 officers, the cook, the steward, and 8 sailors in each of the port and starboard watches. Routine tasks such as wearing the ship required every crew member to be involved, meaning lost sleep for the free watch.

However, he did not play for Albany and moved to Europe instead, signing for Italian club Basket Rimini: he debuted against Philips Milano scoring 44 points in 38 minutes of play. After 4 games (during which he averaged 32.5 points per game) he was dismissed from the team. In 1993 Eubanks joined the Halifax Windjammers in the newly formed National Basketball League; he also played for the Winnipeg Thunder. He signed for Greek team Sporting B.C., briefly playing there before moving back to the United States, joining the Tri-City Chinook in the CBA: after 8 games averaging 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.3 assists in 12.6 minutes per game, he signed for the Rockford Lightning, where he posted averages of 6 points and 1 rebound per game in 19.5 minutes of playing time.

She reached her destination in 91 days, a faster passage than that of any of the other sailing ships making similar passages that year. During the entire voyage, Newby took part in all the work required to maintain the ship, such as constant chipping of rust, painting and polishing brass and copper and overhauling the standing and running rigging – all of this on top of the day-to-day tasks required to sail the ship, such as changing from fair weather sails to storm sails and back again as storms rose and abated. The crew at the time was predominantly Finnish and Swedish, and nationality was a source of friction amongst them throughout the voyage. The journey was documented in Newby's books The Last Grain Race (1956) and Learning the Ropes: An Apprentice in the Last of the Windjammers (1999).

Each ship's triple-expansion steam engine was capable of 13.5 knots, only slightly slower than contemporary battleships and cruisers, and their hulls were built of steel, exploiting metallurgical advances of the 1880s, rather than using older wrought iron or composite construction techniques. In layout, the gunboats were also modern, resembling a miniature version of contemporary protected cruisers, with a straight stem, high forecastle, taller charthouse, and a long low deckhouse extending aft to an even lower quarterdeck. This was a distinct contrast with the sloops of the Condor and Cadmus classes, which resembled contemporary sailing windjammers with a bowsprit and figurehead, a high freeboard, and a raised poop deck aft. Internally, the class also adopted the defining characteristic of the protected cruiser, positioning the coal bunkers to act as a form of armour around the vital spaces.
