James set sail for adventure, as defined by Koei of the early 90s.
Sure, James could play normal games for his role on Radio Free Nintendo. However, in protest of Nintendo of America's desire to release quite literally nothing this summer, James has resorted to probing the more "unique" games available on Nintendo systems. This week he's exploring Koei's 1994 Super Nintendo title, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons. Less obtuse than Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire, New Horizons lets the player captain a ship during the Age of Exploration. At sea you can make your life as a pirate, a merchant, a treasure hunter, or an explorer.
Check out the video below where James shows off life as a cartographer in the 1500s, before taking up the pirate's cutlass.
