I’m getting the full, legitimate, version to review. I’m still hearing mixed thoughts about the game, but so long as it avoids being too annoying and just a bit of fun, it should be something worth playing. We'll see.

flintyquill Yeah i know a fantasic cheat.

Play the games single player through to the point that you know where the marquis's hideout is. Then attack him you get £100,000

Of course this is not a cheat i don't kno any for it as i am not a naff pirate.

It's worth a try. i liked the old game i played it loads on my CD32 and i loved the new one. The lifespan just means that you have to decide how your going to play the game. Weather your going to go for the main quests. Or pirate the high seas and pimp all the other people down. Or take over citys and make one faction very happy.

There is another pirate game in the works but by another company looks like it's going to be very similar. But more about your ship.

This always happens it's like when we had a run of WW2 games then vietnam games all in a row.

I've heard mixed views on this one. The reviewers seem to love it, while gamers have highlighted more serious problems, such as how easy it is to build up a huge fleet and money and the way you can loose almost all of it when you crew mutiny's and puts you right back to square one.

I'll give it a go eventually, but it's more of a post Christmas buy.
