Plot

The game allows the player to experience the life of a pirate with activities such as naval combat, sword fighting, navigation, island conquering, and digging for buried treasure.

Gameplay

Primarily an adventure game (due to requiring players to hunt for items and gather knowledge from characters to complete puzzles), the title contains 47 levels. It also contains minigames in other genres.

Critical reception

Andy Backer of Computer Games Magazine positively compared it to Microprose's similarly themed title Pirates Gold.[3] J.P.
