Title: Typical Sid Meier creativity!
Review: Pirates! is an upgrade of the classic PC game. Like with many of Meier's other games, it is open ended and there is more than one way to win. Also, like Civilization, it contains a Wikipedia-like Pirate-o-Pedia, whereupon players can learn about some real-life pirates such as Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. Meier does not hide the fact that his game is colored by myth and that facts are mixed up; not an attempt to recreate history. Still, should be a fun way to pretend to have your own Jolly Roger and attack merchant shipping! HINT: Be sure to play on September 19th! ;)
