Pirates Anyone?

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Hi.

I have loved playing Pirate games when I started playing Pirates on my Tandy 1000SL. I have them all, enjoyed them all, then they all simply went away like "Tears in the Rain". (OKAY, OKAY, I know I ripped off one of the better lines from one of my favorite movies of all time).

Anyway, here is a game which really is cool, funny as heck, and a pleasure to play, it's called Pixel Piracy. It's just downright hilarious.

They have it on their website. Here is the link to download their demo.

They are using the torrents to distribute their demo.

I understand. Personally I have no idea why they would us the torrents for people to download their demo, but then again what do I know. It is odd that they don't have it up via steam.

I bought this but i don't find it hilarious so far? Is it the text that pops up when the pirates are chatting? It dissappears so quickly and is so small :(

I think its got a good start to be a fun game but it doesn't seem to have a whole lot to do right now (I haven't played it much yet though). I haven't really found or studied their development plan yet but there seems to be quite a complex foundation that hopefully they will build on. Like every prerelease game its a gamble but I like pirates and pirate history so I bought it. :)
