It's no Sid Meier's Pirates! that's for sure.
Games like this make me wish for a modern update to that game. A proper age of sail "simulator". Where you run a ship, try to navigate efficiently, trade, maybe try your hand at privateering or pirating, with realistic sea and wind states, where you not only fight (or try to outrun) other ships but need to fight the elements as well as disease, mutiny, food shortages etc.
(Also no mythological monsters, the "real" sea was scary enough in the 17th and 18th and 19th centuries)
Something like that would be my dream game. Sadly it doesn't exist, and probably never will.
