Search for the Titanic is a graphic adventure developed by Codesmiths and IntraCorp and published by its subsidiary Capstone Software in 1989. It was released for MS-DOS compatible operating systems, then ported to the Commodore 64. Versions for the Apple II and Amiga were planned, but never reached development (or just cancelled and not completed in the case of the announced Apple II port).[4][5] Accolade, Inc. helped to distribute the game.[6] Much of the gameplay is based on Robert Ballard's expedition to locate the wreck of the RMS Titanic.[7]
