The greatest exploration game ever was for the C64: Seven Cities of Gold.

Pretty much a pure exploration game, minimal exploit/exterminate
gameplay. Forts usually starved, the natives revolted against your
missions, but there was always another mountain range to explore!

I played that to death as a kid on the family C64. Later exploration
games aren't nearly as cool.
