So yesterday I discovered Sid Meier's Pirates!  Live the Life, and picked it up for a cool $20(had to do something with those best buy bucks from McDonald's).

Man, I had the original version of this game in 1987 on my Tandy 1000, and it kicks even more donkey now!  The Dread Pirate Reodd stalks the waves once again!

I'm extremely impressed with the swift loading and gameplay even on my 3-4 year old machine.  I highly recommend it for anyone looking for some nice mind numbing swashbuckling.

 

Cheers,

Reodd

I've played the X-box version and you're right. Old school fun. Great game. Very addictive.
