YARRRR!

[prog]

Followed up on previous post with a visit to the Firaxis website, and found this unexpected press release. A 21st century remake of Sid Meier's Pirates! Holy Poopy. You can't imagine the hours I sunk (har har har) into playing the Sega Genesis version, years ago. I can't wait to see this one!

The cultural impact will be astounding. Pirate-pop is orders of magnitude stronger today than it was in the late 80s, when the first version of this game was released, as is the ubiquity of computer gaming. Man oh man.
