Game-a-day #66... Pirates!




Aka. Sid Meier's Pirates has been ported to so many systems and has been re-made at least twice.  Why?  It may be the best game ever.  It has everything you need in a good computer game... Action, strategy, RPG, graphics, a map, treasure, ships, guns...  It's so cool.  I have played this game on the C64, PC, NES, my modern PC (new version).  I can't tell you how much I love this game.  You are the captain of a ship and can decide if you want to be a pirate, a privateer, a pirate hunter, or even a trader.  You sail about the Spanish Main plundering, or hunting pirates, getting all kinds of treasure.  You eventually have a fleet that you command and can attack villages or even big ports for country or plunder.  You get to pick from four nationalities English, French, Spanish, or Dutch.  You also get to pick your historical period from the 1640s up to the late 1700s.  I never get tired of playing this game, it's just a timeless classic that anyone who likes any kind of games must try as least once.  So get to it matey!
