And it’s after you retire that you see the biggest difference (the thing I missed the most). Upon retiring you get to see yourself reaching an appropriate social status (depending on how well you did in the game). Sid Meier also included this feature in the original Railroad Tycoon, but later on he replaced it with simple giving you the statistics. I know it doesn’t sound like much (and there aren’t that many differences), but still, this is the original Pirates!, so I believe it deserves a place on the site and in your personal classic game collection (it doesn’t get much more classic then this).
