Virgin Atlantic Challenge game

Published by Richard Branson's own Virgin Games, this was the official title to accompany his record attempt at the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, his boat the Virgin Atlantic Challenger II.

 The first boat had struck an obstacle and sunk in 1985, just a year later he had his record, crossing the Ocean in just 3 days and 10 hours.

 This game puts you in charge of the boat, but in all honesty, there is not much to do, basically stare out to sea and look at various cartoon sharks coming towards you.
