- Pirates! (MicroProse)
-
- This game was available for the PC a while back (I think it's out of print
- now). It was written by Sid Mier (sp?) and is up to his usual high standards.
- You take the roll of a English/French/Dutch/Spanish Captain. You sail the
- Caribbean and experience some of the following:
-
- Trading goods for profit
- Waging war on enemy shipping and colonys
- Building your fleet
- Converting colonys to your government's control
- Treasure hunting
- Rescuing long-lost relatives
- Carrying out tasks for nobles
- Finding a babealicious wife
- Earning titles
- Swordfighting
- Keeping your crew happy
-
- Pirates Gold (MicroProse)
-
- I have seen ads promising an updated version of Pirates. When this will be
- out is anybody's guess.
