Item Description
Most RPG heroes save the world. Leon Franco just wants to save his family's name, and he has the whole ocean to do it. Koei's Uncharted Waters casts you as a young Portuguese captain in the early 1500s, heir to a fallen noble house, with one ship, a loyal first mate and the Age of Discovery opening up beyond the harbor at Lisbon.
What you do next is largely up to you. The game is built on trade: buy goods where they are cheap, carry them across the sea and haggle with merchants where they are scarce, then pour the profits into better ships, larger crews and eventually a fleet. Every voyage takes real planning. You stock food and water for the crossing, keep your sailors in good spirits and keep an eye on the weather, because storms can ruin a careless captain. Pirates and rival fleets turn the high seas into a battlefield, where you can trade cannon fire or close in and board the enemy ship.
Exploration is the reward that keeps you sailing. Pushing past the familiar ports of Europe uncovers distant harbors, spices and gems that make a fortune, and every discovery, profitable run and victory at sea builds the fame that wins favor at the Portuguese court. The king's recognition is the ladder Leon climbs, and how you climb it, as merchant, explorer or feared fighting captain, is your call.
Originally released in Japan as Daikoukai Jidai and brought to the NES in North America in 1991, Uncharted Waters belongs to Koei's run of thoughtful historical simulations on the console, alongside Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It launched a long-running series that continued on the Super NES with Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, and it is a rare NES game that rewards long-term planning over reflexes. If you like the idea of an RPG where the dungeon is the open sea and the treasure is a trade route, this cartridge is a fascinating voyage.
