| Pirats! proves that even with crappiest C64-graphics and yucky sounds a game can be a big hit. Wow how much did I play and love this game! It is truely addictive. Wonderful! Oh, once I've had the pleasure to play it while the ST was connected to a MIDI keyboard! This really sounded good =) |

| I love this! I love it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! And I loved 'Pirates! Gold' on the PC. And now they've re-made it again.

| Simply one of the all-time greats - and yep, it is true that it is being updated for PC - having said that, the original can't really be improved on...
An absolutely awesome game. |

| One of the best games ever. I tried a lot of versions including NES, Genesis, ST, Amiga and PC versions. The best version is Pirates!Gold to Genesis. the PC version of Pirates!Gold is #2. I spent weeks and weeks with the ST version though. I played it so much that my friends hid the tv cable from me - they wanted me to spend time with them. Bastards! Also a great manual. |

| This is a great game. There is also a PC Win32 version. I think it's called "Cut throats" - I bought it buy it isn't as much fun :( |

| Great game. Very addictive. Being a English freebooter was always the best way I thought. |

| This game was one of the two all-time TOP-TEN in all bestseller-lists next to Elite. It was there for years! And why? Because it is so damn great (and has a comparable system as Elite has); You start with just one ship and a small crew (depending on which time and which nation you choose). You can trade, plunder ships and cities, fulfill orders from some cities' gouvernours, get their daughters as your informants or marry them (if you are famous and rich enough at some time!), capture cities for your nation (wll be good for your rank...captain...marquis...and so on...), capture ships for your fleet, visit taverns and find there informants, some may even offer you maps where you can find hidden treasures which doesn't help a thing if you can't read the maps, you can chase well-known pirates, hold the m for ransom or make them tell you where the great spanish treasure fleets are right now, then you can chase those fleets (or even meet them by accident), capture them and their gold, chase certain Spanish Admirals and Captains and duel them, if you win they may give you a part of a map which may tell you about your families' whereabouts, if you find them they may tell you about the lost inca treasure, sometimes you have to divide up the plunder and plan a new journey around the carribean until you may be too old or are wounded too often (Spanish prisons are hard...). At the end all that you have achieved, your wealth, how good-looking your wife is, how many family-members are rescued etc...an unbelievable great game which I play regularly since a dozen years! |

| COmpared to the C64 Version, the ST version looks as crappy as that.
But the game play is as good as.
If you never played it, give it a try. |
