Twenty years later and still nothing else like it. Such an easy concept too and yet, where are the clones? Perfect pick up and play pirate game.

It's over 20 years old and is still the GOAT of pirate games. I wish there was a modern remaster/remake.

Amazing childhood game . A remastered version or like a 2nd game would be absolutely insane . I wonder how it's not a thing after so many years
