Neo Atlas III: In the 15th century. the Age of Discovery was just trying to open the curtain. The player is a trade merchant who runs a small trading house in Lisbon. That said mercantile trade goods already become obsolete and business state are not very good. Therefore, to overcome this situation the player will have to investigate unknown waters, never been visited before and try to find new trade products. To assist the players there are 2 people: Admiral Leon and Miguel the butler. With these two persons, players will aim for the completion of a new world map of business.

In the age of old, man traversed the world by way of ships and relied on winds to billow their sails. Dead winds meant no progress and seafarers were at the mercy of the elements. In Neo Atlas 3, Artdink continues the world exploration game that originally started on the original Playstation. The graphical presentation is much improved with crisp icons, well defined characters and a stylistic world map.

Neo Atlas III is the first game in the series for the Playstation 2 console. As usual in the series the player's mission is to explore new worlds, set up trade routes and expand the sphere of your country's influence. Some towns specialize in certain commodities and others in the production of goods. The intrepid and profiteering buccaneer finds those towns and ferries goods back and forth to create a sustainable enterprise.

The game is set up in different episodes where clear objectives are defined such as setting up a profitable trade route within a certain amount of time.

As an addition to the previous games in the series the game features the people's cultures and a richer story background.
