Avast there me hearties... arrgh...

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2005
The Bottom Line: Scurvy landlubbers only should avoid this game... shiver me timbers and all that...
Review: Pirates! by Sid Meiers was one of the defining computer games of the 8 / 16-bit era and is still one of my favourite games of all time. As the years went by, other pirate sims came and went but none could match the deceptively simple yet completely...

No Pirate Talk In This Review! Arrrghh, Well Maybe Just a Little...

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: Despite its shortcomings, an incredibly addictive game.
Review: Ahoy, matey! Arrrghhh, shiver me timbers!

Okay, I'm done with the pirate talk now and the rest of this review will be in sensible English. With the success of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and the popularity of pirates in general, it...

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,...

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...

A wonderful world to sail through

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: A great game to wittle the hours away with if you're into pirates!
Review: There are not enough pirate games out there. The mystery and lure of the pirate's life has an allure that I find absolutely enthralling. To sail endless seas, the thrills of battle, the euphoric rush of gains or soul crushing crunch for a failure...

Pirates: Live the Life?

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would suggest not purchasing this game because it doesn't offer a long period of interest to the gamer.
Review: Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life is addicting for about 3 days. You pretty much sail around in a small pirate sloop aligning yourself with a specific colony in the Caribbean and you loot enemy countries ships. The game box suggests fighting enemy...

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...
