About this product

Product Information

Led by renowned developer Sid Meier, Firaxis reprises one of the most universally acclaimed titles of the early days of computer gaming. This 2004 version of Sid Meier's Pirates! follows the multi-genre design of the 1987 original, while updating both presentation and gameplay with contemporarily cutting-edge technologies. Players take the role of an unremarkable ship captain who is destined for greatness. <br><br>As in the original game, players will set their own course toward this destiny, be it through diplomacy, subterfuge, or brute force. Sid Meier's Pirates! explores multiple aspects of a swashbuckler's life in the Caribbean during the Age of Sail, from fast-paced swordfights and naval combat, to ravenous raids of ports and merchants, to political manipulation of colonial powers in the region.<br><br>Pirates! players will encounter an unusually wide array of challenges, from arcade-action style battles, to strategic empire-building in the 17th-century Caribbean, to personality-driven role-playing. Each new game develops along its own unique course, according to the decisions made, the victories attained, and defeats suffered.<br><br>Sid Meier's Pirates! is designed to allow players to progress as they choose through a diverse selection of non-linear, individual missions and challenges. The player's choices and actions can have effects on the game world, however, and as they become more powerful and feared, captains will begin to see their influence all across the Caribbean. Each adventure spans the captain's entire lifetime, and the ultimate goal is to eventually retire, at a ripe old age, with as much wealth and status as possible.<br><br>Available at the time of the game's launch, this "Limited Edition" version of Sid Meier's Pirates! includes a version of the original 1987 game, developer diaries and game tips, "behind-the-scenes" videos and promotional trailers, unlockable game mods and modding tools, and a parchment map, along with a full copy of the 2004 game on DVD-ROM.

    Looking forward to retro-gaming

    Great retro-gaming actually holds up well. Fun, entertaining, fighting easy dancing I got two left feet. That's not the fault of the game it will entertain for a few hours..

    Excellent game for a while

    I thoroughly enjoyed this game over the summer. It is highly addictive and the controls are very easy to master. The story line is limited, basically finding your family and getting revenge and it does get a little old chasing the same villains down over and over again to get anywhere in it. I think I linked the building of fleets, ransacking towns, and gaining promotions the best. Well, I guess I&apos;ll sum up the best and worst qualities in a list: Best: 1. attacking towns-somewhat reminds me of chess and is among my favorite things to do, I recommend conquering the Caribbean as a Dutchman. 2. controls-easy to master so you can jump right into the gameplay 3. choices-pick special skills, befriend Indians, Christians, pirates, governments or turn on them if you desire as ...

    Sid Meier's Pirates!: Live the Life

    Sid Meier is a great developer and this game is no exception. You won&apos;t find a super deep strategy game with tons of micro-management here. It&apos;s essentially a collection of mini games that allows you to explore the life of a pirate in the 1600s. It&apos;s easy to jump into, and the learning curve is pretty small. It could easily be played by older players and younger players alike and has a very light hearted cartoonish appearence. The ocean battles are pretty neat with the blasts of cannons, and explosions blowing men and supplies overboard when a shot is a direct hit. You can cripple ships for capture or blow them out of the water. You can engage in sword duels with various characters that uses a paper, rock, scissors combat system to determine the winner. Sometimes you try ...

    Okay / Good game I'd say. Uncharted Waters is still #1

    If you&apos;ve ever played Uncharted Waters this is something like that. Not a whole lot but similar. However, there are several pros and cons: Pros: The graphics are great! Gotta have a good graphics card for full potential. The ship battles as well as the game play is good too. You get to make money, capture ships, and raid towns! Reminds me of my favorite old school PC game Uncharted Waters; except that this game is more modernized with better graphics. Cons: Too much bullshit that you have to do in order to &apos;survive/beat&apos; this game. The dancing with governor&apos;s daughters is lame and wastes a ton of time, but you gotta do it to get info on tasks to complete. The fighting is good but only when you are at a young age. As you age you get slower and weaker ...

    Addictive

    This is my first time playing a game like this one. I am addicted! I got it in late February 2006. It&apos;s been at least 20 yrs since I have been addicted to a game. In Sid Meier&apos;s Pirates, you get to sail a ship, visit ports, find treasures, woo several mayors&apos; daughters, battle Indians, Spanish, English, Dutch, etc. You can choose to keep their ship or sink it! The only thing that bugs me is the wind always blows West. You have to calculate where you&apos;re going time-wise, and where you start to battle another ship. The wind can make it harder. In ports, you can buy food and goods for you and your crew, upgrade your ship with different items, and chat with locals. You can even re-name your ship if you like. Pay attention to everything everyone tells you in the story, it ...
