Product Description
Sid Meier is an authoritative designer of some of the leading Role-Play games. What does it take to become one of the most feared, successful,and revered pirates of history? Here’s an all new version of the classic Pirate role-play scenario that’ll shiver your timbers as you yell ahoy! Confront enemies on board ships, in seedy taverns, on the ramparts and even at the Governor’s mansion. Wield weapons – or anything within your reach – as you fence against foes. Engage in fierce naval battles fighting single enemies or multiple ships.
| 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful  An Updated Classic, By O Shepard (USA) – See all my reviews = Fun:  This review is from: Sid Meier’s Pirates! (DVD-ROM) Pirates! was always one of my favorite games of computer days of old and I was looking forward to this update. It is adequate but not outstanding. At it’s best it captures the fun of the original and runs flawlessly. If you want to re-capture this classic for modern Macs, this is the game to get. However, do not expect a re-imagining of this once great title. Nothing has been added to make this a better game. In fact, the additions make it worse. Three game faults unfortunately stand out among the meager changes that are made to the original. First, the sections that would have you ‘sneak’ through towns are difficult and unnecessary – an addition to the game that adds nothing but boredom and an unnecessary exercise in key pressing. Second, the frequent sections that have you ‘dance’ with a governor’s daughter is similarly repetitive and dull. And third, the worst of all, the key presses that the ‘dance’ sequences require demand a keyboard with a keypad in order to complete properly. So, laptop owners and iMac owners with keypad-less keyboards beware. The parts of the game that better deserved to be updated, ship battles and sword fights, remains basically unchanged from the original. Still despite these key faults, I was glad to finally see a version of Pirates! that will run on newer Macs. If only developers did the same for some other classic games of the past. 12 of 15 people found the following review helpful Nice update to the classic, By = Fun: This review is from: Sid Meier’s Pirates! (DVD-ROM) I played the old Pirates! in black and white on my first Mac (an LCII) and this is exactly how you would update that game for modern computers. I was a bit shocked at how close it keeps to the original game style, in fact. I don’t know which genre you’d put this game into; it’s so unique. It’s a great game that I hope develops even further going forward (I’d pay for it!). I feel like I know the Caribbean pretty well now that I’ve sailed around it (virtually) for awhile. 8 of 11 people found the following review helpful  YES!!! IT’S BACK!!!, By kelt4ever (Florida) – See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Sid Meier’s Pirates! (DVD-ROM) This is one of my all-time favorite games and it originally came on a DOS/Win/Mac CD (4 different games in 3 formats) that I got with my Mac 6500 PPC. That CD still works in classic 9.2 on my G4 (you need to save often because it’s a little unstable in OS 9). I have always wished that this game had been updated and here it is. It’s a great game at a great price. I do have to admit it’s too bad it doesn’t have all the features of the original, but there are some great changes and the action and graphics are outstanding! Definitely worth the money and still an outstanding game. Definitely Five Stars!!! |
