Description from the packaging.

An adventure so real it too Microprose to create!

Grab your cutlass and take the help of a 17th Century sailing ship in Pirates! This dramatic Caribbean adventure is a unique blend of simulation and role-playing. The game recreates the politics, maritime technology and excitement of the free-wheeling era of the buccaneer.

Navigate reef-strewn waters, fire cannonades in ship-to-ship battles and duel enemy captains in your pursuit of fame and fortune. Lean an overland attack. Search for buried treasure or rescue a kidnapped relative. It's all in Pirates!- and historically and geographically, it's very accurate.
