If the answer isn’t correct, you’ll start with a rebellious crew and no money (and it’s gonna be real hell to play).ĭepending on the time period and nationality you choose (I suggest not to choose Spanish, because there won’t be so many targets to attack then) you’ll start in a different place in the Caribbean. If the answer is correct, you’ll start out quite strong (you get a vast crew and two ships if you start as an English Seadog in the earliest time period, which is the strongest start possible). When does the Silver Train arrive and Panama?). You are asked at what time does a certain treasure arrive at certain destination (e.g. This is the copy protection test and you find the answers to it in the extras. If you select to start a new career you’ll meet your patron, who’ll test your knowledge. You can start a new one (in a desired time period), continue a saved one, or play a famous battle. You can control the character with either a joystick or the keyboard (enter instead of fire and arrow keys to move).Īt the beginning (but you’ll have to wait a while before the screen loads) you get to select your career. The quality of the sound isn’t all that good, although the tunes are great! The game supports 3 graphic modes (I suggest you select the EGA graphics) and it features some lovely tunes, unfortunately all done by the PC speaker (can’t change that). And here’s the original Pirates! exactly the same as on the good old C64 (with slightly worse sound though). I was impressed by the superior graphics and sounds, but that’s due to the fact that the Gold edition is 6 years younger then the original game.
When I then first tried the PC Pirates! it was the Golden edition. I remember playing this game on the good old C64. So if that’s a remake, where’s the original then? I’d love to try it!!!
Have you ever wondered why the brilliant Sid Meier’s game Pirates! is the Gold version of the game? Simple, it’s a remake (made by the original author of the game).
