What can I say about this game? What can convince you of this games overly aboundant genius? "This has been one of my favorite games of all time." Does that do it for you? How about this: "Never have a played a game with such a gripping story that also allowed for almost limitless freedom. After 20 years I have never found a game to match it." A few games tried to overcome it: X2, X3, Privateer 2, Tachyon, etc... But nothing has really come close. Despite Privateer's fading graphics and simple interface, it was a game that defined a genre. Playing it again I doubt it could maintain the glamour of previous years. If you are new to Privateer then it might even be disappointing. If however, you can overcome our modern sense of super graphic gameplay, and let your eyes be covered with glasses of the past... then might be able to unearth this gem and find joy in a classic long lost.
