Did you all know this?
Pirates as I remember it first came out on the C64 (now where going back eh?)
I remember going to Adelaide and paying $79.00 back then and then the wife losing the plot because my old C64 was using the portable tv and I was hooked like a fish with a big worm
Now to really take you back, the game was on the big plastic floppy drives, sorry cannot remember the name, mabye you can help me out, but you used to be able to use both sides of the disk. Again many months were lost in my quest to save my family and capture the silver train (never did manage to complete game even back then) I think from memory it was 1989 I first bought Pirates (I am not sure, bad eh ) but I remember I bought Apache Gunship around the same time. Oh the memories.
I actually kept the map when I sold the C64 as I loved the detail even back then and funny enough, just last night it was excellent to see my 14 year old son get quite excited about wanting to play Pirates. I know I am rambling on but I reckon with out a doubt SM made some excellent classic games and I have owned them all at one stage.
Drink up lads, here's to "Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum"!
"Avast ya swabs, Arggghhh!"!
Cheers all
