Both are absolutely brilliant!
I remember playing Pirates back in the day
Is Gold a different version?Which one would be the one to buy?
https://www.gog.com/forum/pirates_gold_plus/sid_meiers_pirat…
The 2005 version is 3D with new minigames etc. Both are very good, but quite a few reviews say the Steam version of Gold is a terrible port.
When I retried the 2005 version a while back was some of the timing seemed messed up on faster systems, but the current Steam version may not have that problem since reviews don't seem to mention it.
Not very familiar with steam
Would l be able to play the game "not online" at my own pace?
Yep. In fact, that's the only way you'd be able to play these two.
Pretty sure Gold is the original game
Pirates! Gold is a 1993 remaster of the 1987 original Sid Meier's Pirates!
The best game I ever owned on the Commodore 64.
With apologies to Hounded…
Nah, for me that title goes to Street Rod.
You might say this one was 'close, but no cigar'Put plenty of hours into that too (and Street Rod 2) hotting up Grease-era lime green Chevy to take on the King for pink slips…
But could never put it above the likes of Pirates!, IK+, Target Renegade, Space Rogue, Airborne Soldier, Emlyn Hughes, Summer & Winter & World + California Games.
I loved bionic commando and defender of the crown to go with those
@Jackson: Trying to calculate the lunarium values in Rocket Ranger that you were supposed to have a copy protection code wheel for made it a significantly more challenging game…
@Sven Viking: The eighties were indeed, the golden age of piracy.
A big tip of the hat to Turbo Tape 2000…
@Jackson: A fat lot of good you two would be to all of us needing to know what month the Silver Train would be in Panama…
Changing that 2 barrel carb to a 4 barrel was always a winner
Man it took me a whole 5 minutes to remember what hounded was, I had a mate who loved that game, I never really felt it.
I personally preferred port royale 2
Played and owned the original and Gold to death on the Amiga and PC BITD. I haven't really sunk more than a couple of hours into a game in the last 10 years, but got Pirates! 2005 on a whim last year and played it for a week straight. Not sure whether anyone without nostalgia for the series would like it, but if you are a series veteran and haven't played the 2005 reboot, do yourself a favour and nab it!
Have played the 2005 version and really liked it
Given you've played both If I were to buy just the one which one would you suggest as the better buy?Definitely the 2005 version. Can't go back to Gold now, gameplay is too limited and nostalgia only goes so far.
I still got 2005 version on original Xbox
Thanks
Never played the OG, but i remember playing the 2005 remake and it was fun af. Repetitive after a while once you see the formula. Still heaps of fun though
(profanity) yeah. I'm going to plunder Caracas so hard.
