Gameplay

Uncharted Waters is a game in which player captains go out and find the great trade wind "highways" and major currents.[1] The story is set in the early 16th century. It was released on the PC-88 in May, 1990.[2]

Reception

Dave Arneson reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "in the final analysis, Uncharted Waters is mildly interesting as it stands. When compared to what it could have been, it is more than mildly disappointing. Someone may yet design the "ultimate" game of 16th century exploration, but it isn't here yet."[1] In a 1993 survey of pre 20th-century strategy games the magazine gave the game two stars out of five, stating that while its geography was inaccurate and user interface "could bear improvement", "Game play can be interesting".[3]
