Pirates!
(Microprose, 1987, Apple//e)
 Fans of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean
ride never had it half as good. Buried treasure, ship battles,
sword fights, and even just plain mayhem, was all part of this
classic strategy game. When you consider how much game was on
one mere floppy disk, it's truly amazing. The finale of the game
could be at any time you wished --just retire your character--
and often left him with his own land, wife, and happiness ever
after. Sure, most pirates are now at the bottom of the Ocean
--a fate which might even happen to your game character, if you're
not careful-- though this game let you have your cake and eat
it to, no matter how unlike history it may be. In short, Pirates!
was a great, classic moment in multimedia, that is even one of
Techtite's choices of 50
Best Multimedia Classics.
