Item Description

Lisbon's harbor falls away behind you and the open sea lies ahead, and that first departure is the thrill of Uncharted Waters. Koei's Age of Exploration adventure casts you as a young Portuguese captain hungry for fortune and fame, hands you a ship and a first mate, and lets you decide whether to become a merchant, a navigator, a privateer or a little of all three.

Much of the game happens at sea and in port. You buy goods where they are cheap and sail them to where they sell high, haggling with stubborn merchants over spices and gems, and plow the profits back into better ships and a bigger fleet. Long voyages demand planning: you need supplies for the crew, and storms and pirates can wreck an ambitious run far from home. Each voyage can push a little farther, from the Mediterranean trade routes near home to coastlines much farther afield, and dropping anchor in a port you have never seen feels like a real discovery. Along the way, you can win foreign ports over to Portugal's side, and the King rewards captains who serve the crown well.

Koei built its reputation on historical strategy games like Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Uncharted Waters, known in Japan as Daikoukai Jidai, applied that same depth to a wide-open sandbox. On the Super Nintendo it was an unusual sight: a console game that trusted players to set their own course with very little hand-holding, part trading simulation, part role-playing game, part naval adventure.

It also launched a long-running series, and its sequel New Horizons expanded the idea with multiple captains and a larger world. The original is where that voyage began. It suits players who love emergent stories, where the most memorable moments come from a gamble on a cargo of pepper or a narrow escape from a pirate fleet rather than from a scripted cutscene.
