Play Pirates! on Msdos Game
The original 1987 version made by MicroProse was widely ported from the original Commodore 64 version. It was ported to the Amiga (1990), Apple II (1987), Atari ST (1989), Macintosh (1988?), Amstrad CPC (1988), Nintendo Entertainment System (1991) and as a PC booter (1987). The Amiga, Atari ST, and PC versions featured a copy protection scheme requiring the player to identify the first privateer ship they encountered by their flag. The Commodore 64 version also used copy protection, albeit in a different form. The Amiga and Atari ST versions featured the best graphics and audio of any of the 1987 versions.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
