The age of sail was one of the more interesting periods of history. Sailors from Europe roamed the world, in search of treasure, adventure, and new lands. One of the places they discovered and developed was the Caribbean sea and the islands within it. This gave rise to the age of piracy, seafarers raided the great treasure ships sailing from the New World back to Spain, as well as the towns and colonies that had any hint of money. From 1600 to 1700, the sea war between England, France, Holland and Spain was a four way struggle, the prise being the riches of the new world. With Sid Meier's Pirates, players can relive this great age in an extremely well done remake of a classic title of years ago.
