Description
Explore the Caribbean sea and towns in the predecessor to the best open-ended buccaneer game of all time! In this one your goal is to become the Governor.
You can choose between 4 different character nationalities from English, French, Dutch or Spanish. Along the way you decide your character's career path, and live an adventurer's life, where you will follow all assigned missions and tasks. You will be able to buy maps to hidden treasures, find secret pirate hovels, trade between all 60 available cities, build up your own business or become a pirate! And whatever you choose sooner or later you will participate in beautiful sea battles.
Port Royale places the player within real historic locations. You are given the option to choose between 4 different times in history – 1570, 1600, 1630 or 1660. Each of these timelines has direct influence over the game play. You will witness wars, disasters and much more in this rich and dangerous world. So be prepared for everything and ready your cutlass and pistol – the adventure awaits!

How to avoid crashing?
It crashes no matter what I tried to do. It crashes at the end of the loading up in to the new game.

Gog does not like localised versions
Port Royale 1 & 2 are german games, developed by a german studio and published by a german publisher and even these games are english only ? Only on gog of course ! I told the gog customer service that it is very easy to change the language to other countries (for example germany) in games like europa universalis 2 and heart of iron 2 and some more title by editing one line of the ini file with an editor. It would take 5 minutes to wrtite a batch file to change the language for those who dont no what an editor is. ^^ Customer service answered "Fine, our technical team will check it". This is months ago, nothing happened. All older paradox games english only on gog. (allegedly) Gog is not really interested in localization. But take notice that i will not buy a formerly localized game which is republished as gog version, english only. And stop telling that you have no files or data. It attracts not your interest, thats all. There are even illegal gog copies localized from users ! There are free localization patches from publishers and community for some games and most important: Publisher who sold you a licence and even sell the same product localized in a protected version are unreachable or unable to give you a localization patch ? Good joke ! Good night !

I too compare it to Sid Pirates
I could not really get into this game. I didn't buy the game expecting it to be like Pirates! but it seemed to be like a more boring version after I played it. I think I was wanting something more like empire building with pirates and economic emphasis. I found it boring and cumbersome. I liked the Guild which is for sale on GOG and I love the civilization games so I am not a fast paced action gamer by any means but I did find this game boring. I am glad I got it while on sale.

Port Royale
Doesn't work, which is sad. When it loads it exits the game with some german garbage about what the problem is. I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it.
