Summary

Who wants to join me in a epic Piraety adventure?

The Good

In Pirates Gold! You play a young man who dreams of being a mighty pirate like Guybrush Threepwood or like the guy from Captain Hampton and you take control of the ship by fighting the captain and starting the 10 Great Pirate Quests which include Get married, finding long lost relatives, finding the silver train and the treasure fleet the more you accomplish the better the ending you get when you retire.

The music is amazing from the tavern or the world map to plundering a town or ship. The graphics are very well done and this game even though people like to think GTA is the first to do freeform this game predates those games by 7 years the original Pirates came out in 1990.

The Bad

Your crew gets angry too often you’ll plunder a city and minutes later they are angry again and sometimes you get bothered on the sea too much and the sea dogfights can drag on too long.

The Bottom Line

For me this game is very nostalgic and that's i like it so much and this game is difficult to find so if you're not sure about it get the ROM.
