Once upon a time, there lived a boy who liked to sail the open seas. The wafting smell of salt in the air, and the scorching sun burning his skin made him feel alive and free. As far as his boyish eyes could see, a vast expanse of water would disappear off into the misty horizon. He felt joyful and unbound. It's a shame then that all of this was merely a figment of the boy's imagination, as his eyes rapidly moved to catch up with all the animated pixels on screen that made up the original 'Pirates!'. This was many moons ago, and now the boy is all grown up, the gleam of the digital adventure still sparkling in his eye. He still roams the open seas as his mind now tries to adjust to both the animated images and the perception of depth that they create in the remake of the classic 'Pirates!', fittingly titled 'Sid Meier's Pirates!'.
