Announcing Sid Meier's Pirates!

Avast, me hearties! Splice the main-brace and shiver me timbers! Fetch me grog, or walk o'er the plank, ye lily-livered land lubbers! Ye'll be headin' to Davey Jones' Locker, by the Powers! Aharrr!

Right, that's quite enough of that.

Sid Meier's Pirates! puts you in the boots of the most feared buccaneer in the whole of the Carribean. That is, of course, once you've found some enemies to fear you, and some booty to plunder, a crew to sail with, some ships to capture, some mysteries to be solved, some Governors' daughters to dance with...

In fact there are so many things to do in Pirates! you'll need a parrot on your shoulder screaming 'Pieces Of Eight!' to remind you that at some point your crew will need to be paid. You'll need a hefty sum of money too if you're going to retire as a rich ex-corsair, to a world of luxury. Oh yes, the life of a pirate is a tough one, and you'll be able to live it on the Mac this August.
