Just Bought the Game!

Hello everyone. I know i jumped on the Pirates! bandwagon very late, but ive just been waiting for the price to drop. Also i just recently built a new computer. I decided it was time to pick up a copy fo SMP and get lost in the addictive gameplay.

I played Pirates! Gold on the Sega Genesis many years back quite a lot. In fact it has always remained one of my all-time favorite Genesis games. So im acctually pretty suprised that i didnt pick up a copy of SMP when it first came out.

Installed and played it for several hours last night and i really really like it so far. Gunna abandon the game i started yesterday when i get home from work and start a fresh one tonight on Adventurer difficulty and possibly a different time period from the default. I forsee many hours of SMP gameplay in my future, but ill make sure to alternate SMP with other games so i dont get burned out.

So anyway, its great to meet you all, and i hope some of you are still active on these forums! Also i have one question: I installed the SMP patch last night, but it never showed me any patch notes. Is there a readme file somewhere or a website that describes all the changes? I read somewhere that the patch intruduced as many bugs as it fixed, is this true??

Wait, are you sayin its an untruth that the patch introduced more bugs? Or you saying that it did indeed "introduce more" bugs.

Is the patch worth it?
