Sid Meier's Pirates! is a 1987 action-adventure strategy video game developed and published by MicroProse for the Commodore 64. It was designed by Sid Meier, and was the first game to include his name in its title as an effort by MicroProse to attract fans of Meier's earlier games, most of which were combat vehicle simulation games. The game was later ported to several other platforms, including the Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Macintosh, IBM PC, Atari ST, Amiga and Nintendo Entertainment System.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Yes! But one question- When are we getting the remastered version… of the remaster?
if anything needs a proper remake it's this game. it's like a boat and pirate focused mount and blade that mixes 3 different genres from turn based strategy to naval combat to swordfighting. incredibly fun terrorizing the carribean and working your way up from basically nothing. unfortunately barely playable if you dont have a numpad and everytime i alt tab my heart stops because i think it finally died and i haven't saved.
It is nearly as much fun as playing it back in 1988! This version loads just a little quicker between fights!!
