    As a fan of the tall ship era, I found this game most enjoyable. It was a toss back to the original Pirates! that I played endlessly on my Commodore 64. I've spent many hours so far playing the game and have only completed 2 scenarios, yes the game is repetative, but then so was Pirates! The biggest drawback I see is that you can only have one (1) ship in combat no matter how many As a fan of the tall ship era, I found this game most enjoyable. It was a toss back to the original Pirates! that I played endlessly on my Commodore 64. I've spent many hours so far playing the game and have only completed 2 scenarios, yes the game is repetative, but then so was Pirates! The biggest drawback I see is that you can only have one (1) ship in combat no matter how many are in your fleet, and then you go against how ever many are in the other fleet. Personally I've gone 1 on 4, that add a touch of challenge, but also frustration in the fact that I had 6 or more ships in my fleet. All in all a good game with plenty of replay value.… Expand

    Those ppl who still remember Pirates! Gold will recognize them in this game. The bad thing is that it this game is nothing new, just better graphics as in Pirates!Gold. And it gets pretty boring after some missions - just always the same :(

    A fun yet repetitive and slow-paced romp through the history of the Caribbean.

    This isn't a bad game; it's just a very, very dull one. The only action to be found anywhere is in the ship battles, but even these are tedious. [Jan 2004, p.157]

    An uncomplicated and readily accessible approach to experiencing the colorful lives of swashbuckling buccaneers on land and at sea. However, the similarity of the challenges, linear scenarios, substandard sound effects, and deficient artificial intelligence definitely constrain the enjoyment you will experience here.
