90s 2D (I think) galleon ship game.
Where you had to kill the other sailing ships by just going around them and keeping them in the firing arc of your cannons.
You could see the firing arcs too, I remember that.

Its not Overboard! but something like it, it wasn't 3D from what I remember.

From an online pal:

"I remember a grey brick wall maze and possible a knight character trying to get into a castle" Says it's not Gauntlet and he's sure the walls were grey.

I ask if he means like the windows maze screensaver:

"No, more 2.5D
But not isometric"

It's for the Commodore 64, could be disk or cassette. Said he's checked against Lemon64's list without results, would have been available in the UK, played it no later than 1992

Knightlore?

A early 90s 2D top down game set in old sail ship times.
You steered the boat looking down from above, and you had two types of weapons, grapeshot or cannons.
And when you had one activated it showed the arc of fire to the left or right of the ship.
And basically it was kill the other ships before they killed you.
The cannons were slow, as in you could dodge them if far away.

Sid Meier's Pirates?

Nah, I don't remember any world map or such on it.
It was totally top down, not a 2.5D Sid Meier's Pirates seems to have from looking at it.
Could be a port of it, checking them here, but I swear this was on the PC.

Wooden Ships and Iron Men?

This looks more like it, but again in my memory its top down, and the sea is a uniform one solid blue color.
And in real time, not turn based.
