Reception
Dennis Owens in Computer Gaming World stated of First Expedition, "Not recommended for adventure gamers unless they are interested in intricate navigational techniques". Jerry Pournelle said in BYTE that it "manages faithfully to simulate all the long boring aspects of sailing... I can't imagine that anyone at the company ever played this turkey".
