Shiver me timbers!

Corsairs Gold, a seafaring real-time strategic adventure game that lets you explore and dominate the South Seas, is available on GOG.com for only $5.99

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/corsairs_gold][/url]Corsairs Gold gives you control over a crew of bold sea-dogs and sets you off on course for the South Seas, where fame and fortune await the brave. This complex mixture of RTS strategy, pirate adventure, and exciting action lets you roam the seas freely, looking for opportunities to serve your nation while menacing the others and getting filthy rich in the process. Control every aspect of your fleet's operations. Negotiate or fight--as a corsair you can use any means to achieve your goal. Whether you choose to be a hero celebrated by the people, a bloody villain feared by all sailors, or a respected merchant known for his business intuition, is entirely up to you. Board some of the most famous vessels in the nautical history, navigate historically accurate maps, and take part in some of the legendary events, that shaped the way we imagine the age of sails.

Breathe in the salty breeze, and let it leave the taste of a coming adventure on your dry lips in Corsairs Gold, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

tinyE: On the subject of what is old, and I think I mentioned this a few months ago, a kid was in my B&B, pointed to our turn table and asked me what it was.
Explain to her:

"That, is the early DJ equipment."

Lodium: My younger brother coudnt understand what the apeal was with old games.
He likes modern games like crysis and such and anything older than 3-4 years old is old to him.

One day when i was playing settlers he commented:
Why do you play that shit? it,s so pixilated i cant even see the characters/avatars properly.

Me: Why do you play your shit?
Its so fast paced that you need to be in pretty good shape hammering down your buttons on the keyboard and in addition you have some rude kids yelling insults all day long for no point whatsoever in teamspeak or whatnot.
Not all kids are like that Grandpa, I have a younger cousin who love her slow paced RPG and strategy.

Well, I'm a bit undecided on this one. I certainly love the setting as I played and loved most of the Pirates! games from Sid Meier, but I'm not a huge fan of RTS.

Can anyone comment on how important the RTS part is?

Very, but it is simple.

Let me try and best describe Corsairs for all... Think what Diablo was for ARPGs. Fast play, hack and slash, not a huge amount of deep thought, collection of new stuff. That is Corsairs to a tee. Its full of action and basically tries to be constant fun. It is not Pirates!, Cutthroat, or Port Royal, nor does it even pretend to try.

Imagine a Pirate themed stand up arcade game in the 80's, and thats your best description of Corsairs. Yes, it has some more depth than that, but not much. Its just pure bubblegum fun and it does it very well. I suggest playing with an eye patch and large feathered hat ala Basil Rathbone in Captain Blood! Extra points if you grow a pencil mu'stash!

You sold me on that last bit, I'll definitely give it a shot, thanks!

Yeah I remember playing this. It was not quite Pirates, but still pretty decent. Wishlisted for now.

I remember that in the first version of the game there was two choices: campaign mode and adventure mode. In the gold version the second one disappeared, can be possible to recover it?
