Pirates! Fix

A fix for Sid Meier's Pirates! can now be found on the Infogrames FTP server (direct link). There are no details on this posted along with the file or on any of the game's related websites, but the mirror on 3D Gamers explains that this is a DVD version replacement addressing SecuROM copy protection issues.

It really is lacking a lot of the original. The main issue for me came down to atmosphere. This one was just too cartoony. I mean, sure, playing as the "good guy" pirate can be ok a time or two. But what if I want to play a real bad-ass? I'm stuck with goldy-locks, the hero. I'm stuck watching cheesy swashbuckling moves (kicking buckets, etc) during combat. All ruin the game for me.

I don't mind some of the other changes, although the dancing is just dumb. And the land combat is better, but takes too long when doing it often. When I outnumber them 2 to 1, I shouldn't have to waste the time. Oh well.
