What a terrific little pirate game! The sea is in my blood..... because my uncle was a deck chair attendant. Perhaps that's why I periodically have a strong itch to play a seafaring game. Especially one with sailing ships. King of Seas scratched that itch really well. A fun tongue in cheek sailing adventure with pirates and loot and the odd bit of giant squid tentacles, man eating sharks and voodoo magic thrown in for good measure. The only niggle I have so far is the odd design choice of having to find Cartographers dotted around the ocean, in order to expand the map. This function would have been much better as something you buy in port. As it is, visiting a port is not enough to add it to your map, which is a little immersion breaking. Other than that it's anchors away and a strong recomendation from me. Badger
I had great fun with this game all those years ago and will very much look forward to it appearing on one of GOG's periodical sales. At £4.99 I would have pounced on it in a flash, but £9.99 is too steep just for the sake of a little nostalgia, as much fun as I know it'll be. :) Keeping my eye on it with wallet at the ready.
