Sid Meier’s Pirates!

Didnt know it was released on the Commodore 64? I played it first on my Amiga 500, its almost as enjoyable still!.. I liked it a lot, I bought my copy few months back.. though the sword fighting was too easy, dancing too hard for me.. In general I loved it, still waiting for some other commodore hits to come out on the PC

Hmm, when i visit the mayor or the tavern, i look like something from one of the terminator movies, anyone know whats up with that?

Played it when it first came out, good game.
It can really be tough as you get old.
Dancing can be a nightmare.

Dont understand what you meant by looking like terminator in the tavern. I did however install a nice little patch that made the bar maids topless,it added to the tavern atmosphere and it gave me something to look forward to when I was out at sea and it wasnt the governor's daughters.

Cywr, what is your system's specs?
I have played it and finished it twice already. With maximum accomplishments. All treasures found, all relatives rescued, all pirates eliminated, all ranks obtained, something like half a million gold (if I remember correctly) and I think my fame was something like 24 but don't take my word for it. I have taken a screen capture, when I go home I will post it if anyone is interested.

And with no problems at all, all settings at the highest.
The only glitches are during the swordfights, where sometimes it slows down too much, resulting to not being able to use the controls right.
Another thing, irrelevant to the game though, is that because my optical mouse sometimes jumps to the other side of the screen with no apparent reason, I was missing some of my moves. Still, this is no real trouble at the first 2/3rds of the game, but when u get old and your opponents are stronger, then it is very annoying.

Actually, it is exactly the same game as the old one, but with better graphics and some nicer finishing touches. I must admit that I have spent innumerable hours on it, as it is very relaxing.

Why don't you just buy a VGA card?
I use an old, simple FX5200 and it works absolutely satisfactorily.

The fact that there is an integrated VGA on a motherboard does not mean that it can't take another VGA and bypass the on-board one. Actually, it is very common practice. Don't be afraid, open the black box, it won't bite...

Done it a million times, and I'g be happy to help, but cywr has to choose and decide by himself on what kind of VGA card he wants to install and what does his motherboard can take, as well as how much he wants to spend on one...

Joyrider!

You know Cywr, I really miss Port Royale. Trading my spices, rum, cocoa, ect.,.. that was great.    
Never played the sequel, only the demo and it wasnt as good.
