Pirates NES
Game Information
Modern warfare is no match for the fierce realism of six historically accurate severteenth century pirate raids along the Spanish Main. Aye, matey! That's why plundering and pillaging are back in style, as you command the role of a high seas high-jacker. Either an English Buccaneer, Dutch Adventurer, Spanish Renegade or French Explorer, each with a different skill level and strategic impact. As a swashbuckling scoundrel, you'll barter with enemy merchants, trade for hidden treasure maps, negotiate with unscrupulous governors and forge alliances with monarchs who'd just as soon stab you in the back than float you a loan for new ships. Buth that's only half the battle! You'll also assault towns, sword fight with garrison commanders, lay siege to forts, and fire your cannons broadside at an armada of naval foes, including Spanish War Galleons, Dutch Frigates, French Merchantment and English Sloops. Arrrrg, me swabby! Don't think it's all fun and destruction. Because if your bloodthirsty crew isn't hept happy boarding and burning enemy vessels, or if your navigation skills leave them shipwreched on a jagged Caribbean reef, they won't think twice about using you for shark bait. Fortunately, if events do take a nasty turn, you can save the statistical foot you've captured and return with a vangeance on another day.

Ahoy, you swarthy gold swiping,
ship sinking sea dog!
Modern warfare is no match for the fierce realism of six historically
accurate seventeenth century pirate raids along the Spanish Main.
Aye, matey! That's why plundering and pillaging are back in style,
as you command the role of a high seas high-jacker. Either an
English Buccaneer, Dutch Adventurer, Spanish Renegade or French
Explorer, each with a different skill level and strategic impact.
As a swashbuckling scoundrel, you] barter with enemy merchants,
trade for hidden treasure maps, negotiate with unscrupulous
governors and forge alliances with monarchs who'd just as soon
stab you in the back than float you a loan for new ships. But that's
only half the battle! You] also assault towns, sword fight with garrison
commanders, lay siege to forts, and fire your cannons broadside
at an armada of naval foes, including Spanish War Galleons, Dutch
Frigates, French Merchantmen and English Sloops.
Arrrrg, me swabby! Don't thik it's all fun and destruction. Because
if your bloodthirsty crew isn't kept happy boarding and burning enemy
vessels, or if your navigation skills leave them shipwrecked on a
jagged Caribbean reef, they won't think twice about using you for
shark bait. Fortunately, if events do take a nasty turn, you can save
the statistical loot you've captured and return with a vengeance on
another day.
So keep your eye (the one that doesn't have a patch over it!)
on your ultimate objectives—power, fame, prestige, gold, land, and
the hand of a beautiful maiden—and you'll find the sailing smooth
and your "red beard" scraggly!
For 1 player. Included with Pirates! is a historically accurate map
of the Spanish Main to help you through your adventures.
