This is part one of a four part, heavily edited full play through. I started with 10 hours of video footage and cut it down to 3.5 hours which is probably still too long. It's a great game, my favorite in fact, but it's not easy to show a full game as the pace is often slow, there isn't much music, and most of the sounds are of the wind/water. As I say in the video, I recommend at least watching the first half of this video and part four if you just want to see what the game is about.
There is an accompanying blog post where I wrote about the game and include a 1989 Sid Meier interview from Video Games & Computer Entertainment magazine: https://www.vault1541.com/2020/02/youtube-sid-meiers-pirates.html.
