The Atlas: Renaissance Voyager is a deep strategy and exploration simulation developed by Artdink and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. Set during the 15th-century Age of Discovery, you are contracted by the King of Portugal to explore mysterious lands, establish trade routes, and complete a map of the world. The game combines open-ended discovery with economic management as you fund your fleets and build a trading empire.
How to Play
Your primary objective is to direct your admirals and chart the globe within a strict in-game timeframe. Review reports, manage resources, and update your map based on your fleets’ findings. Use the SNES D-pad to navigate the complex menus, A to confirm selections, and B to cancel or go back. In the browser, these controls map to the Arrow Keys for movement, Z and X for A and B, Enter for Start, and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Secure a steady flow of trade income early on to ensure you can fund the increasingly expensive expeditions needed later in the game.
- Pay close attention to the detailed reports from your returning admirals; their findings dictate how the map is drawn and reveal where safe passage lies.
