During the 1990's I had a Sega Genesis and not a Super Nintendo. I played a lot of NHL 94 with friends, but the best single player Genesis game was Pirates Gold. What is better then being a pirate? This game has action, strategy, and Rpg elements and that is what seperates it from the other games. You can hack and slash or trade goods. You can choose to be allied with the French, English, Dutch or Spanish. You can choose different time periods. You can upgrade your ship, take over someone else's ship, or do both. I have the Xbox version and I still like this game better. Do yourself a favor and play this game..it is great old school fun.
I have to admit I still turn on my old Sega just to play this game for awhile. Graphics are definately outdated compared to todays "standards". For those willingly to look past perfect pixelation of every inch of there t.v.'s this is a fantastic game. It will grab to up with sea battles, recruiting, plundering towns, sword fighting, and even courting Mayors daughter's. Very well rounded game for its time with so many different styles of game play in one package. Again cannot applaud this games content enough for its day. Would recommend to anyone who has an old system looking for a great game to play. RPG/Action/Strategy. The Cons... Sailing against the wind is a pain in the rump, but so is it in real life. The only other con I can think of is the graphics I stated in the begining. Enjoy this classic I recommend it. I see that Xbox has one, and there is a newer PC one(thats suppose to be along the same vein as this one)...Read full review
This is an incredible game. Very few sandbox strategy games were made for genesis and thus this is one of the rares, and a well done one I might add. The experience you'll get with this game really enthusiasms your imagination, as you start out as nobody in the caribbean seas and work your way up in the ranks of fortune and happiness of life. Yes, life, as you start young, you'll have to make whatever it takes to live your life in full. Capture ships, get promoted by nations, marry, find your long lost relatives, discover ancient treasures, deal with your crew's mutinies, capture pirates, steal the treasure fleet and silver train from spanish armada, etc.. you can do all. The very best of the game is to see what you become when you retire from this life. Either a drunk bum or nation's hero, there are lots of them to find out, including who you'll marry: an old dry fig or a busty beautiful woman. Take your pick, because they love your money too! Exact to this version of the game is the amigacd32 version, but better in terms of sound. Everything else is the same. I spent hours and hours playing this when I was young...Read full review
