Ahoy Mateys! ⚓️
Set sail for the high seas of nostalgia with 8bitjoystick! Today we're diving deep into the golden age of Pirate Ladies in Video Games (1998-2002)! ‍☠️

Forget walking the plank, these ladies were swashbucklin' queens who ruled the waves. From swashbuckling sword fighters to treasure-hunting captains, we'll be charting a course to meet awesome characters like:
- Captain Syrup (Wario Land series) - The original "Pirate booty"licious pirate who started it all!
- Bonne Jenet (Garou: Mark of the Wolves) - A stylish swashbuckler with a mean high kick.
- Risky Boots (Shantae series) - The sassy pirate queen with a crew of Tinkerbat pirates.
- May (Guilty Gear series) - A cheerful lass who fights with a giant anchor (and a dolphin?!) ⚓️
- Tetra (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker) - Link's swashbucklin' shipmate with a secret identity! ⛵️
- Ruby Heart (Marvel vs. Capcom 2) - A treasure-seeking pirate who can whip anyone into shape! ✨
- Aika (Skies of Arcadia) - A sky pirate who fights with a boomerang and explores floating islands! ️🪃
- Tron Bonne (Mega Man Legends series) - A hilarious robot-piloting pirate with a legion of adorable Servbot minions! ❤️

Did Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean inspire this trend? Nope! This golden age predates Captain Jack Sparrow by a good few years.
