This thread has been linked to the game 'Sid Meier's Pirates'.
This was the First game i ever truly loved! released by Atari in 1987 it was true genius at work and i spent hundreds of hours killing the Spanish all over the Carribean. You could plunder vilages, fight people in comedy 1987 graphics battles while your crew died of screen. Have proper sea battles and mary the governors daughter. This game was so good, years ahead of its time. There have been many efforts to replicate it over the years such as Corsairs and Cutthroats. Cutthroats was very good but wasn't a huge improvement on the old original apart from shiney graphics and really well done land battles.
Now the glory is resurrected! later in the year Sid Meiers Pirates is being recreated by the man himself, and looks pretty damn good. this will be my most important pre christmas purchase (yes unlucky half life 2-nah i'm buying that too, and i still love you football manager!)!. This had better be awesome!

I'm glad I did since I pre-ordered it for £18. Now if goes up in price I won't be charged extra. The reason the game has been delayed so much is because it's got allot of content it needs to get right. If it fails, it'll be one of the biggest failures in a long while.
