Internet game: The cute web-image of Zheng He
In commemoration of the 600th Anniversary of Zheng He's great voyages,
Shanghai Magma Digital Company has developed a special game named "Zheng He's
Voyages to the Western Seas," which is meant to represent the scene of Zheng
He's voyages during the Yongle period (1405 AD during the reign of Emperor
Yongle) of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Altogether, 23 port cities, 24 trade
products, and 11 ships are available in the game, which will help you experience
the feeling of sailing the sea with Zheng He.
The goal of the game is to fulfill the task of promoting peaceful foreign
diplomacy as well as official trade as told by the Ming emperor according to the
hints given by the system. Before starting the voyage, players should first make
some preparations, such as recruiting sailors, making ships, purchasing military
equipment and so on. Players should also keep their ears open for any important
information the government might offer from time to time.
Of course, the fleets may also run into pirates on the way, so watch out!
