Pirates! is a dramatic simulation of 17th century life on the Spanish Main and you are cast in the leading role as Privateer Captain. Leap into an era of turbulence and change a time when fabulous fortunes can be won and lost.

Extensive graphics enable you to navigate across the Caribbean, slipping in and out of ports as opportunities arise.
