This game is a remake of an old Pirates! game which was released by Microprose in 1987th. If you're one of those who love(d) old Pirates! and you would like to play a newer version, this is what you're looking for. Honestly, Pirates II. is very similar to the old Pirates!. It is just a re-programmed version of Pirates!, but it uses nicer 256 color graphics, it is more user-friendly, and with many improvements (see below). But, the game isn't completed , and to be honest, it will NEVER be completed. But this version, most probably the latest ever to be released, is pretty close to the final version.

If you want to, you may take a look at some full-screen pictures from Pirates II.
