I guess the corresponding last step in UW1 would be not rescuing the princess. I have heard that in UW1 the main character gets killed off 20-30 years down the road- has anyone gone so far as to have experienced that?

Played UW1, not played UW2, UW1 is the second favorite of mine after the x-com enemy unkonow... friends know why I will download UW2 to see what is with that game...

I personally like Uncharted Waters 1 better than 2. Yes, you have more options when starting in 2, but the first one was simple, clean & focused on one story line. And the ship was easier to control in one than two.

I'm completely with you on that, Old School Gamer. UW 1 had the flavor of a real adventure about it. In UW 2 they dumbed it all down and made it cartoonish and too childish for my liking. Fewer ships were easier to control and they were way better ships. The only problem I have with UW 1 is that they have a limit on how much money you can have at any one time. 60,000 is far from enough! A second annoying point is the investment model that didn't have as big an effect if you invested a lot of money. (BTW, this is a tip to people who play UW 1. When investing in a port, invest 1000 at a time. This way you'll get a lot more loyalty for your money. 10 investments of 1000 get you much better results than 1 investment of 10,000.)

But even so, UW 1 is very enjoyable. More so than UW 2 in many ways.

I've played UW and UW2.
I like UW than UW2. Coz of the simple and easy of this game, I don't like to do everything under story line in UW2 to complete the game.

For I, too, am also having problems running Uncharted Waters thru Dosbox and D-Fend v. 2 on WinXP. Is there a way to fix that problem? Thanks in advance.

Some games work fine with DOSBox 0.63 but not with the latest 0.65. Try previous versions, and in the DOSBox homepage you've got compatibility details for many games:

i've got dosbox 0.65 and 0.62.. although i need a retards guide of exactly what i do to run a game.. i've tried a few things.. like the 'mount c c:\gamefolder\uwaters and that mounts it or something.. but from there i'm pretty lost..
