Sid Meier's Pirates! Gold Plus (Classic)

Unfortunately as others have already said, the game is unplayable. The controls are lagging and work half the time or less. If some update is going to fix it, I will change the review since the game is great.

Playing just pirates classic on dosbox launch option, have had none of the issues others have reported; it's the original game and it's great.

Sid Meier's Pirates! Gold works exactly as I remember it, from hours and hours played as a child. It seems that the issues that others were having with DOSBox have now been fixed - the music plays normally and the ships move at the appropriate speed. The only issue it has is the DRM (based on identifying pirates flags - this helps: http://www.goodolddays.net/file/file%2C89/id%2C229/type%2Cdocs/ ). The game feels more freeform than its successor, and is still a great way to explore the Spanish Main and become a buccaneering legend.

Controlls are pretty broken. Makes it unplayable. :(

Einfach ein geiler Klassiger den man endlich auf Steam erwerben kann.

I don'r remember this as being quite the bugfest that it is. From loading saved games that go to a black screen to embarkig and disembarking on land which can put you into an infinite loop that forces you to quit by alt-tabbing. The bugs ruin gameplay.

Working in dos mode only and I am very disapointed. I am not going to play this game.

Loved the original and loved this version even more. Had a PowerMac with softwindows on a SCSI external hard drive just to play this game this 18-22 years ago. Before that a friend had it and we played whenever we could. Can't believe I can play it again.
