The AmigaCD32 version was my introduction to Pirates...awesome game.

The orignal Pirates ! (C64/Amiga) is a great game, but - as already said - this version is not. Useless sequences (walk around in town etc.) slow down the gameplay.

Don´t get why noone seems to like this one, it plays the same as the old pirates except that the GFX is better (should have been better though) and there´s a great soundtrack added. So why bother with the original when you have this?? One of the better games for the CD32!

While not quite as disappointing as the "new" version for the PC it was still a good game made mediocre.. A bad attempt at exploiting the CD media of the time.. Go for the floppy version - **that** is well worth playing - avoid this 3/10

Uhhh... What's the point?
The original Amiga version of Pirates was great so why mess with it? Plus the graphics in Pirates Gold CD32 have been ripped from the SEGA GENESIS and look rather bad.

Five years after the event, Microprose took the Amiga version of Pirates!, replaced all the graphics and sounds with vastly inferior copies, ripped out the menus and replaced them with mindless 'wander around town' sequences (which only served to slow things down), generally destroyed all the remaining remnants of the game's appeal, and then unleashed the unholy concoction onto the gamesbuying public.
Not surprisingly, no one bought it. 4/10.

The original Amiga Pirates! Had terrible gameplay compared to the C-64 platform, and sadly, this remake does *nothing* to remedy this.
