Pirates! was superb. I've never visited the Caribbean yet, but I'll be hearing the sound effects from this game when I do.
If only those war wounds didn't stop you playing... and the crew wanting to mutiny or divide the plunder.
It truly was the golden era of games, for me, as a kid. Remember thinking how the incremental improvements in hardware would make games more life like, and when that day would come. Wonder if kids now think the same?
- wodenokoto 6y agoI loved that game as a kid. Is there a spiritual sequel?
- ricardo81 6y agoThere's a Pirates! Gold version I bought a few years back. Same game, graphics/sounds revamped
- shmerl 6y agoThere is also Sid Meier’s Pirates! which is a newer redesign from 2004. https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_pirates https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_pirates
- ekianjo 6y agoKing of Seas is kind of like Pirates with some overarching story on top of it.
- frequent 6y agoSame here. My brothers and me could name all the Caribbean islands, we tried to sail to Europe from Bermuda and I remember my Dad sinking a half our galleons in the span of minutes we let him play on our Commodore64. Thanks for the memories :)
- stefs 6y agoi played it as a kid with several lack of understanding in general but also of the english language. i: "papa, was heisst 'cutthroat'" (dad, what does 'cutthroat' mean?) dad: "das heisst halsabschneider" (it's cutthroat) i: "und 'swashbuckler'" (and swashbuckler?) dad: "???" first time in my life that my father wasn't able to answer a question.
