PLAY RETRO 234: Sid Meier's Pirates!

•

Sid Meier's Pirates! began on the Commodore 64 in 1987 as an open-ended pirate career game mixing sailing, trading, ship battles, sword fights, treasure hunting, politics and retirement. Brian plays the original C64 release while Scott tackles Firaxis' 2004 remake to see how much of the same pirate life survived nearly two decades later.
