That's CAPTAIN No-good scoundrel to you, me bucko

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you like the taste of grog, have ever mutinied, or celebrate "Talk Like a Pirate" Day, this game's for you.
Review: So way back in '87, Sid Meier put out a game called Pirates! In that game, you could sail the Spanish Main, make deals with governors of various colonies while charming their daughters, buy and sell (and plunder) good and sugar and provisions and...

Pirates! Please Say It Ain't So - Bad

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy any other game. Besides wasting your money you will be wasting your time. Any good reviews are suspicious. Not many people I know would enjoy this buggy, shallow game.
Review: I have been a huge fan of Sid Meier, playing his games for nearly 20 years. I played the original Pirates when it came out in 1987 for the Commodore 64. Sadly that ancient version is leaps and bounds ahead of this release!
All of the gaming fun...

Ahoy, I've sailed here once before

Date of Review:  May 24, 2005
Review: What I like is the Pirate theme for starters. You can hear your sailors singing ol' sailors tunes while navigating the Carribean.

Excellent Game - Recommended

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2006
Review: A great update to an old game. The interface is easy to use. Graphics are superb. All the excellent role-playing and strategy elements of the original are retained. Unique items you can obtain are a nice touch. This is a well done game. The dancing...

Sid Meier's Pirates for Windows PC

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: The original was considered one of the greatest games of all time.
Review: Sid Meier's Pirates! for the Windows PC is a light action role playing game set on the high seas. It features naval combat, sword dueling, strategic military combat, land exploration, and much more. It is a remake of the classic PC game from 1987,...
