Pirates!

burns flipper · 08-11-2005, 02:48 AM

I saw a game on sale second-hand recently, looked quite good. Set on an island, it looked to be a 3d action adventure (explore the docks/caves/beach etc) and I think was pirate-based. I'd never heard of it before; it looked similar to MI4 in terms of graphics (rounded 3d) and is probably a few years old. I'm not sure if 'Pirate' is anywhere in the title, I think it may have had a longer name like "insert-name-here and the secret pirate island" or whatever ("name and the something-something"). If anyone's heard of something similar to this (I think the box had a picture of the whole island, like Myst did), please post some game names or links to screenshots so I can find it - I had a quick look on ign by searching for 'pirate' but it was none of these. It was on PC. I don't think it was one of the big famous releases, it was more of a low-budget romp around an island, solving puzzles and exploring, and possibly foiling some purates or getting to the treasure first. Any help appreciated!

Port Royale?

It's Sid Meiers Pirates!

I thought you already knew from the title.

Could also be Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Rent A Hero?

"A Quiet Weekend in Capri" fits the description of the box, but no pirates.

I think it might be Red Jack, thanks. Looked good, reviews say otherwise

Hey I had Red Jack once, it was a "fun" game, but the game engine was really bad.

I only bought it because it had pirates in it...

Any chance it was Redguard, a part of the Elder Scrolls series? The game box has a map of the island and it's definitely pirate themed and in 3D. Although it might very well have been Red Jack and you can ignore me.

Definately Redjack now I've found the box scans. Also, Rent A Hero looks good so thanks for the heads-up, never heard of that vefore.
