<b>The Caribbean at the Time of the Hero:</b>
The Caribbean in the year 1660… Spain is weakening under the pressure of the new nations, which all want their share of the treasure. Since England and France posses only few Ships they use Pirates and legitimate Cutthroats, the Privateers. Slowly many towns are forming into Outskirts of Hell, markets for theft and smuggled Goods and for slaves and prostitutes. This is the ideal time for corrupt officials, brutal officers and power hungry gouvernors. The most evil of all is the Spanish Gouvernour DeRojas. He plans to replace the weak Spanish Vice King and build up an own Empire, an Empire contempting for human beings and one of exploitation and suppression.
<b>The Legend of the lost Silver Fleet (Treasure Fleet):</b>
Francis Drake, Privateer under Elizabeth I., sacked Nombre de Dios, near Panama, at 1572 and captured the Silver Fleet. But 6 Ships under Admiral Don Pablo de Servantes escaped the greed of the English and disappeared at the Bermuda Triangle (Shark infested and full of Shipwrecks). Myth and Legends began, did a Seamonster sunk the Ships or did the Crew overpowered by greed kept all the Gold? Or was it a curse that transformed de Servantes and his Crew into Ghost (sounds somehow familiar if you ask me <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
)" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> )? Fear and Superstition keeps most Merchants and Sailors avoid this Region. But 6 Ships full of Gold are a treasure, which Pirate, Freelancer or ambitions Gouvernours can’t hold back for long.
<b>The Game:</b>
The Action Adventure “Tortuga: Revenge of the Pirates†describes in the way of a classic Piratestory the adventurous life the exslave Aurelius, an adventures and treasure hunter, who sails with his Pirate ship through the unknown Archipelago of the Caribbean.
“They called him Nigger, Slave or Boy! They striked him with whips, enslaved his People and killed his Family. But since he was rescued by the older getting Pirate Captain Diego, the tide turned. Aurelius the black Pirate Captain now hunts his old Enemies.â€
In the actionpart of the Game the tactic Shipbattles and `skill-based` Fencing duels are dominating, while the extensive Adventurestory with many Main- and `Sub-Quests` and more then 35 Cutscenes lead you through the Game.
“When Aurelius by accident finds an Artifact on one of his many Raids the Story takes its run. This Artifact, which was destined to be for DeRojas, seems to be an hint where to find the missing Treasure Fleet.â€
EDIT: Ok, removed the Screenshot Link (because it's a Java Link now). You can still reach them via the German Ascaron Homepage or watch them at Gamestar (because they are the same).
