Definitely a must-have

An iconic game, one of the best games ever produced. The version might not be the best one (I played it on Amiga when it came out back in the days) but still, for a serious collector, every connaisseur it is a duty to have this game. In 2018 the game mechanics and graphics are outdated or at least old-fashioned, many android games are more advanced so this is a matter of honor to add this to your collection. I could say this about quite some games, but hey, it's under 2€, so why think twice. Every smoker pays more on cigarettes each day.

Has potential but.....

it is IMPOSSIBLE to win at fencing, End of. Fencing is the only key to success in this game, to capture ships and booty. You never at win fencing. You never win the game. This is even when choosing the "superiour fencing skills" trait AND on the EASIEST difficulty. So then, the game overall? It's end of! So grab your parrot, grab your eyepatch and stick 'em up your arse.
