About Pirates!

It is important to note the original version of Pirates! was based on hollywood style pirate movies rather than historical fact. Any history present was added as details to the game after the game design had been finalised. In the NES version, "tobacco" is replaced by "crops". But this is are very minor alteration when you consider that the major factor and historic fact of slavery offers no overt effect on gameplay; no versions of Pirates! deals with this history at.
