If you're into the pirate thing, you definitely want to check this game out. The game centers around the Caribbean and you start by picking your nationality, skills and time period. Then, its a matter of gaining as much gold, land and fame (or sometimes infamy)as you can before you get old and are forced into retirement. Whether its running missions for governors, being a bounty hunter, following up on treasure maps or just plundering all the towns along the coasts, there's a lot of fun to be had with this game. Oh, and if you develop enough 'prestige' with the different nations, their governors will start introducing you to their daughters (!!).. and the wealthier the town, the better.. <clears throat>.. I always tried to marry the red-head, but she's hard to find :D
But like I said, after so long, you get old and are basically forced to retire at which point you are given a final ranking... I was never able to get the top ranking, which I think was becoming a governor, but I got 5th place once which was a 'sugar planter' <aw shucks> .. oh well, just call me sugar daddy I guess. Overall, a very good game for the nes that will never play the same way twice.
