Great stuff...loved that game.
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

Funny this came up...

When I was donw in the Bahamas last week, every time someone would mention an island, I would remember it from my old Pirates! map on the C-64.

I D/Led an emulator and played it on the PC a while back. Still great fun!

I never heard of that game, but anything having to do with pirates can't be all bad. :D

I hope they enable three things:

1.  Multi-Player capability (mixed in with some easy AI merchants etc)

2.  Multi-ship battles

3.  A cool dueling engine with real sword fighting tactics being employed.  The old game basically was a fast button pushing exercise.

The old method of sword fighting was pretty weak. Once you had it mastered, it was hard to lose.

God I have the urge to play this game now!
