Martin Ulrich, co-developer of Ports of Call, has passed away
Martin Ulrich, the co-developer of the Amiga classic Ports of Call, passed away on 31 March 2025 at the age of 76. The sad news was announced by his long-time developer colleague Rolf-Dieter Klein. Ulrich was born on 22 October 1948. Together with Klein, he developed the popular economic simulation game in the late 1980s, in which players build up a shipping company and lead it to success through skilful route planning and freight trading. Ports of Call was first released in 1987 for the Amiga, later also for other systems, and quickly became one of the best-known and longest-running titles in the genre and one of the flagship games of German game developers. To this day, the game enjoys cult status among retro fans. (nba)
