Virtual Skipper 2

We still have the VS2 game in stock. It seems to be very popular with our crew so we have re ordered it even tho VS3 has super seeded this game. I guess its easier to play, start up and get sailing. VS3 has amazing graphics but computer hard wear needs are higher and the sailing level is harder. This game will not dissapoint.
