The lastest site to have a review of Sid Meier's 'Pirates!' is Game Revolution and they found the classic's remake worthy of a B+.
Years ago, a revolutionary, open-ended game hit the market. It allowed you to travel around a large map however you see fit doing basically whatever you wanted, wherever you wanted. While there was a central plot, you didn’t have to follow it at all. If you saw a vehicle that you wanted, you could try to steal it. Wooing women, earning money, attacking your enemies, and evading or defeating the authorities were your goals as you attempted to become the greatest criminal in history.

No, I’m not talking about Grand Theft Auto.

I’m talking about the original Pirates!, released in 1987 to critical acclaim, a revelation in game design and years ahead of its time. If you look at almost any list of the Top 10 PC Games of All Time, Pirates! will be on there, guaranteed. It’s right at the top of the one I keep under my pillow.
