I was very disappointed with the initial release of Pirates! The Firaxis guys always seemed to get games out for the Mac fairly quickly, but Pirates! and Civ4 were sort of a downward trend for them. I had given up hope of playing Pirates! on anything other than my son’s Xbox, but a completely unrelated google search for video game midi files brought me to a Macworld UK article that had a link to this
Pirates! for the Mac
Spore can wait until they fix the DRM or Christmas when my kids will want it, I’m spending my video game allowance on Pirates! This game was wonderful back in the old days on the C-64 and the Xbox version is pretty good. I’m looking for a game to play when I’m not on-line (and would normally be WoWing it up) so this is perfect. If the game is half as fun on the mac as it is on the Xbox, it will be well worth the $29.99 retail price.
