Pirate strategy games on Amiga?

[mäsäxi]

Hello again.

 

I used to play Microprose Pirates! on Amiga, I am familiar with that game. Then I know that there exists Pirates of the Barbary Coast by Cascade. In Colonization you can practise piracy as well, thought it is limited to purchasing desired ships and control your ship icon to same location with other ship icon and then "battle" happens, which is just a text box saying if the other ship evaded you or if you lost or won and in the latter case had the ability to choose what kind of cargo you want to rob. Are there any other Pirate strategy games for Amiga 500 than first two mentioned games?

 

Let´s say Pirates! is a good average game. Is Pirates of the Barbary Coast in the same class or worse? Atari ST conversion didn´t get too good review in Computer & Video Games magazine back in time. I have some vague memory that it was mentioned that the treasure was always on the same island, which surely drops replay value down a lot, but was that problem only on 8 or 16-bit conversions, or both?

I would say that any game has a hard time beating "Pirates!". That game is pure awesome on every system I have played it on (C64, Amiga, PC, NES).

Swords and galleons plays a bit like Pirates! http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=3224

Pirates! is one of the best games of all time, from one of the best game designers of all time. Hardly an average game.
