Originally released in 1987 for the Commodore 64 and ported to just about everything, in 1990 the Amiga received perhaps the best ever version. A game in my top 5 favorites of all time, I know this game through and through. Top 20 in Computer Gaming World's best games of all time list. The romantic action/adventure/simulation of a pirates life on the Spanish Main. Seek wealth, stature, family, wife... Or just create your own goals in this open ended game for the history books.

This is an American Amiga game best played in NTSC mode with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
