Ahoy there shipmates and splice the main brace, we set off for treasure and adventure on the high seas at sunrise, once I have.. ahem.. installed and configured this here piece of eight... Sorry to get carried away but the welcome return of Sid Meier's Pirates to the PC has really got me caught up both in nostalgia for previous Pirate editions and the vogue for pirate themed books and movies.

Note: I'm aware this is a long review, but there’s so much to this game it’s the only way to do it justice.

Pirates! by Sid Meiers was one of the defining computer games of the 8 / 16-bit era and is still one of my favourite games of all time. As the years went by, other pirate sims came and went - but none could match the deceptively simple yet completely compelling open-ended gameplay of the original MPS Labs game. Pirates Gold failed to really capture the spirit of the first game, Cutthroats was a good attempt but ultimately failed to be much fun, Sea Dogs had real potential but was buggy as hell.

Stunning storyline, acting and soundtrack. No sequel....yet

Great storyline, lots of scope for variety in character creation/progression. Quite complex maths surrounding the game, slight balencing issues.

An immersive storyline that has no peers Can be a little power hungry in places
