The Pirates! Thread

I had more fun with the C64 version of Pirates!, if only because the prospect of victory seemed more attainable. I saved more family members and found more treasure in the old version than I ever did in the handful of days I gave to the new one before giving up.

I realize that it just comes down to the fact that I apparently suck at the new one, so hey, more power to you guys.

I had made detailed maps of the C64 version using graph paper and lots of sailing time. I felt like Magellan! I could usually find treasure with only one piece of treasure map.

I put Pirates! on my PSP and accidentally stuck it on the highest difficulty and gave up. It was fun all the way up to that.

I want Pirates! on my PSP. My options appear to be either running a ROM of the NES port of the original in NesterJ or buying the official PSP port of the remake. Neither are particularly enticing to me, as sailing and land travel are incredibly slow and tedious in the original, and I already own the remake for PC and have difficulty justifying purchasing it again on a different platform.

I suppose I could be all sneaky and warezy about it and download an ISO of the PSP version. I'm already going to hell according to Leviticus 20:13 so it doesn't really matter in the long run, I suppose.

"And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

I have gone the FILEZ route and it works wonderfully.

Go fuck a carburetor and get the fuck out of our lives, you fuck.

I may not be completely blameless in how this all played out.

(Pirates! is still a great game, and Assassins Creed 3's naval wars are just Pirates! sea battles played out in 3D.)
