A nostalgic 16th-century seafaring simulation that balances trade, exploration, and naval combat with a deliberate, strategic feel.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly report this is a faithful port of the 1990 original, but it is entirely in Japanese with no English support, making it unplayable for non-Japanese speakers. Many longtime fans appreciate the nostalgia and praise the open-ended trading and exploration, even as they note the interface is clunky and the graphics are still 16-color.
