My mobile phone ringtone is a somewhat lacklustre version of 'What do you do with a drunken sailor?' Downloaded around the time of that revivalist phenomenon that is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, it's long been a favourite ditty of mine since one of the villains in an episode of Airwolf sang it during his air battles with Stringfellow Hawk. Which is a fairly piraty kind of name that wouldn't look out of place in this passionate updating of an 8-bit classic. Once again under the direction of its original designer, Sid Meir's Pirates! takes the basic yet engrossing gameplay of the original game and douses it with gallons of 21st century spit and polish.
