There is also a super nintendo version. Both have some unique elements. The biggest unique element you will find is the sound. The graphics a interesting to look at in this version, because of the limited colors the artist was using.
This version is a direct port of the English PC version, which could run on old dos computers. An old 8086 with EGA would have been good enough for it. There are key differences between Nintendo version and the PC version. The biggest difference is sexual maturity and religion.

Very boring game.
Maybe I don't understand what I am supposed to do in this game, but it seems like you have a ship and crew, but sail around aimlessly around the oceans where the main map actually shapes Earth which I guess is kind of cool. Many times, you find yourself sailing around and not see anything other than the screen changing colors for night and day and sometimes thunderstorms which causes you to lose control of your ship. I think the idea is supposed to be that you sail to different harbors around the globe and do trade with them and build up your ranking that way. Even with this, the game would seem OK, but the navigation and control is too awkward for me. To move, you have to open a menu then tell it you want to sail. Then you press A. To change direction, you press left or right on the control pad which stops you, then press A again after you decided which direction to sail to. It is really weird. Play Pirates for NES and then play this to see that Pirates controls much better. As far as interacting with other ships at sea goes, I haven't figured out how to do it. I tried crashing into them first, but you just go through them. Then I tried getting close and then selecting the attack option, but your first mate says that it is not a nice idea or something.Since this game saves, obviously there is a main objective that I am not seeing, but I am willing to bet that this game actually requires the instruction manual to figure out what exactly you are supposed to do, otherwise you will just find yourself sailing around with no direction or clue. If you want to play a game where the objective is easier to figure out and want to sail around and conquer harbors or battle other ships, Pirates is a much better choice.
