Description
Sid Meier returns to his roots with this remake of Pirates!, his 1987 game about sailing the high seas in search of treasure. As in the original, you will plunder cities, sink enemy ships, and more. A large plethora of different styles of gameplay will have you sneaking out of prison, dancing with the governor's daughter, engaging in real-time strategic combat, and a slew of others.
Pirates! features a new 3D engine, but its style of stringing several minigames together to make a congruent game remains true to the original.
