Back when I was a freshman in college (circa 1987) I had a Commodore 64. One of my favorites was the Sid Meier classic, Pirates. I would procrastinate for hours by playing this game. My roommate Chris Clements was so addicted that he would stay up all night playing this game. One morning when I got up about an hour before my 7:30 a.m. class on Friday (What can I say? I’m a morning person!), he was *still* playing.


“Sid Mieir’s Pirates”

The PC Version has been out since late November 2004. I remember almost purchasing it for my Wintendo while browsing at CompUSA over Thanksgiving, but it seems like such a great title for X-Box that I’m committed to waiting for it on the console. Well, that and that price hasn’t really come down enough for me to stop waiting; even the used prices are still close to $40!
