I LOVED Pirates! Gold on the Sega. I wonder if it’s awkward on the WII.
I have had Pirate’s on just about every system it was released for but the Amiga version is still my favorite.
I was feeling pretty l33t having played it on the Gensis, but you just had to one up me haha.
I do remember shopping at a swap meet in San Diego, and someone had a PC version, boxed, on floppy discs. I think I bought it for like $5 or something.
The ship battles remind me of Rampart on the NES.
Do you know of anything comparable to those games for current generation PC’s?
I used to play this flash game a lot at my old job, if I remember correctly it’s somewhat similar to the ship battles in Pirates!

The Gensis version was a good version but was only an Amiga CD32 port. Atari released Pirate’s for the PC a couple of years back. I still have mine somewhere packed away.
I actually owned , for a short time, the arcade version of Rampart. So much easier with a trackball.
The only game that comes to mind is an old psygnosis game for the Playstation. I forget the name but I can’t think of anything currant for the PC or consoles.
Does something called Broadsides ring any bells? For some reason the very first time I played Pirates that’s what I was thinking of, but it was so long ago I don’t really remember much.
the bells in my brain are silent
I played the last PC version (which this is based off of) for two weeks straight when it was released! Its an amazing game and still available @ Best Buy & Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/3920/) for like $10.
I guess the Wii version will be exactly like the XBOX 1 version, cept with motion controls (which may or may not be a good thing – sword fighting might be cool, maybe). If you have a semi-modern PC, there is no reason to get the Wii version, just get it for the PC for less $.
Also, it was fairly simple to mod the PC version: tweaks to difficulty and flag mods being the main attractions:

I made my own flag once – pretty cool!
That does look fun enough to drop $10 on.
