You figure there would be more pirate games because of the whole pirate genre being big on the internet for a couple of years.

Monkey Island is a classic, I loled at the sudden burp at the end.

Monkey Island for the win.

well...least he didn't mention that god awful and laggy online pirates of the Caribbean game....and no spoony it doesn't count lols.

lol pretty funny

My favorite Pirate video game is Neverwinter Nights: Pirates of the Sword Coast.

You get shipwrecked, abandoned on an island, you get into brawls in the city, breathe underwater, become a zombie, stop a sea goddess from committing acts of terrorism, there's a big-ass dragon down there, board a ghost ship....

Skies of Arcadia for the Sega Dreamcast. The rpg where you play as pirates......with flying ships. Air pirates FTW!!!

Beat me to the punch.

One of the greatest RPGs of all time... plus pirates. With flying ships. Awesome!

Does Skies of Arcadia count?

or Windwaker LOL

Two games to mention.
One, "Redhook's Revenge" on the PC. It played like a board game--a sort of "Life" meets "Risk" meets a pirate version of "Trivial Pursuit". I played the crap out of this one with my siblings.

The second is "Pirates of the Barbary Coast" for the C64. This was a great game that focused on pirates from the merchant perspective, and had Privateer-esque "buying low, selling high" to earn money, and ship-to-ship cannon warfare. Had lots of fun with this one back in the day.

There's actually tons more pirate games out there, including several modern ones and at least two MMOs. But the above were the only two I really ever played much other than the Sid Meier games.

Love the MI music in the background, but what about the 'Destination Treasure Island' game?
That was a cool pirate game..

What about Treasure Island and Treasure Planet?

I'd say Rogue Galaxy is an excellent pirate game. Why did you not mention that?

I've always liked Muppet Treasure Island.

Mostly because of the Muppets.

How could you not have Tropico 2: Pirate Cove?

Thanks for the spoilers!

Yo what about Zack and Wiki?
And that air pirate game for the Sega Dream Cast?

What about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow on PS2? That was a decent game.

There's also Pirates: Legend of Black Kat, for the PS2, which had some fun pirate ship battles. Course it's a bit hard to find, especially these days.
