Title: Buy Sid Meier's Pirates! for PSP
Post by: Eel O'Brian on January 26, 2007, 05:32:34 PM
It's terrific.  So much to do.  I've never played this in any format, so it's all new to me.  It's $20 at Gamestop/Ebgames, so buy it and cram it in your psp. It's perfectly suited to the handheld (you can save often, and the minigames are short), and it seems like it has tons of replay value.  Good graphics for a portofaportofaport.

you got your TRADIN, your SHOOTIN, your FENCIN, your WALTZIN, and your SLEEPIN WITH THE GOVERNORS' DAUGHTERS (one in every port!)

basically the ideal elements of the food pyramid of piracy

The game got real old real quick on the PC. They had 15 years to improve the game and all they did was make the graphics better and add a lame Simon says game. I was throughly disappointed.

I love it when you capture a town when the Treasure Fleet is in the harbour. thats like 40000 gold right thurr. And the governors and their daughters are choice too.

Is there a Pirates DS in the works? Touch screen control could work a treat

Pirates! was seriously so addictive.  I remember when it came out, I got it on a whim and ended up pouring more time into that game than anything else out.  It was sad.

It was rumoured last year, along with PSP one, but I haven't heard anything since. Probably got canned.

you wouldn't wanna play pirates with DS 3D.

PSP 3D almost isnt enough to be honest, the PC version was so gorgeous.

Good idea.  I'll give it a try too.
