Pirates!

[Bodie_CI5]

I don't know if this has been posted at all, so I decided to post it. Anyhow, it seems that a new Pirates will be coming out next year! Sid Meier is involved with developing the game (atari and Firaxis enterprise type thingy).

Now one can only hope that this may see the light of day for our new Amigas. His decision, as you will read, to redevelop the game comes about as the result of requests from gamers who dearly would love to see the game up and running with new graphics etc. maybe if all Amigans can band together, we can try to persuade Mr Meier to port this for us too! I know I would love to play this game again... God knows how many Winter weekends (and many other days and weekends) I lost to playing this game when it came out all those years ago!

@ bloodline

Yep, the new game will have better features (i.e. new methods of interaction with characters, new fighting styles etc). I'll be buying it as soon as it comes out for the PC, but wouldn't it be nice if it came out for the newer Amigas (A1's and Peggies, and for emulation UAE and AROS ;-) ). So please all write an email to 'em, we can only try, even if it wishful thinking.
