I have been interested in this game for a while. It's cool to see it coming to the Mac!
Pirates!
So a pirate walks in the bar. The bartender says, "Pardon me, mate, but is that your ships steering wheel in your pants?" The pirate responded, "Aaarr, and it's drivn' me nuts!"
But seriously, this could be fun. I remember, as a wee buccaneer, spending much time playing Pirates! on an Apple IIGS. That 1980s game was also designed by Sid Meier.
Ha
Yes, jimothy, it's a remade version of the old one... also, the joke made me laugh. I've actually been waiting for this for a while.
