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.

If you're looking for a fun little game to play during your downtime, but then end up playing for 5 hours straight without even thinking about it, then Sid Meier's Pirates is that game for you! I bought it during one of the many sales they had for it for literally less than $5, and I. Got. Hooked(no pun intended). when i bought it, it was around 11pm, and planned to only play it for an hour or so, then go to bed, 4 hours later, it's 3 in the morning, I'm taking over Havana for the English with my crew, and I have more gold pieces than pounds of food. I realize i was up at 3 in the morning and had class that morning at 8, but i never forgot all the fun I had playing it. It's definitely a great game to put some time into
Best Pirate Game from 97 till Black Flag and Windrose. And even now still a damn fun good game! Classic Gold!
This game is a must play for any pirate fans and an absolute plunder if you can get it on sale! The only glitch I have encountered is the game will freeze when loading a save file. Easiest fix for this is to close and re-open the game.
