The SNES is the nicest looking and sounding version of this game and the NES port is kind of painful. It's vaguely like Colonization or Pirates! or something like that.

>What's so great about this game?
Ehm, thats hard to explain. its just that you're living the story.
I had such great times playing the first one and trading and fighting and doing the main storyline quest.
then at the end I really felt like I had lived Leon Franco's life, to the point where I actually got giddy when the sequel show him return as an older man with a young son who was thrust into a life of adventure too.

>Should I play both 1 and 2?
Personally I would say, yeah! totally.
but you gotta be into these kinda older games or they might bore you with their lack of action.
its simple, they either entice you or they don't.

there is silly pay2win called Kings Choice and it had an event called "uncharted waters".. you would use energy points to sail here buy whatever and sail where ever else to try and make a profit. Kings Choice was a dumb money farm game but i did always enjoy that event. :)

Pietro, I like to start by doing the Nile river, then use the cash from the discoveries to get a decent ship. After that (and after doing a few sugar/bead trade runs), I sail over to Japan asap to get a cat/katana and a Kansen(which has 175 cargo and only needs 10 people to man)

I sail north of Russia to avoid storms while I have a cheap ship.

Once I have a Kansen or two, I can get enough money doing short trade routes in Europe to buy a big ship to start on North America or find more discoveries in Africa(Also to trade dumb niggers glass beads for gold)

Having played the first game enriches the experience for sure, but I guess you could just watch a longplay and skim through it and only watch the story parts.
personally I'm glad I played through the first game completely, i really felt connected to these characters and like I knew them.
then I played the 2nd game where you can play as the son from the guy from the first game and I was like "OMG, I KNOW THESE GUYS!"
was a fun experience, and there are moments where one of the guys will be like "aah yes when I sailed these seas with your father!" and you're like "yep, I sailed those seas."

Pietro really feels like the main character of the game. Well maybe after Joao, but his story is well paced (unlike Ernst's for comparison, and consider the combat-focused characters where you can just blitz through). Also the fact that we got Miranda in the gaiden.
