Overview

Discover what it takes to become one of the most famous pirates in history! Based on Sid Meier's original masterpiece, Pirates! invites you to live the life of a 17th-century Buccaneer in this epic, open-ended seafaring adventure.

Test your skills as a privateer flying the Jolly Roger across the Caribbean. Duel enemy captains, exchange plank-shattering broadsides and seize valuable booty, woo fair maidens, dig up buried treasure, and of course plunder French ports (don't expect too much resistance).

As your reputation and skills grow, so will the size and quality of your crew, and your ability to take on larger enemy ships, raid heavily fortified ports, and locate ancient treasure. There's a whole cast of interesting and dangerous characters to meet, mysteries to solve, and exotic island destinations to discover.

    Enjoyed it once

    Written by NW from Farnham Common

    Loaded the game on to my MacBook and played it once. It looked good, if maybe a little repetetive. Second time the MacBook just ejected the DVD and I haven't been able to play it again. Feral were helpful but they finally gave up suggesting I re-install the OS More
