About Pirates! (europe)
Pirates! came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, published by MicroProse. It was a time when complex strategy games were a rare find on the console, which was mostly known for action platformers and arcade ports. This game stood out by offering a different kind of adventure, one that felt more like a simulation than a typical NES cartridge.
You control a pirate captain, starting with a small ship and a modest crew. Your main goal is to build your reputation and wealth, which you can do through trading goods between ports, hunting for treasure, or engaging in naval battles. The game is played across different screens: a strategic map for sailing and planning, and separate action sequences for sword fighting and ship-to-ship combat. The pacing is deliberate, requiring you to manage your crew's morale and supplies carefully, and the difficulty can be unforgiving if you are not prepared. Ultimately, playing Pirates! feels like you are steering your own unpredictable story on the high seas.
