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.
