The new Pirates! builds on that legacy delivering an even more powerful and fun experience to players... and is still unmatched in offering a blend of genres in one great game.

A good game impresses you with what you're doing. I think that's a fundamental difference that I as a game designer need to recede in the background.

Our approach to making games is to find the fun first and then use the technology to enhance the fun.

I love Age of Empires and I play RTS games all the time, I respect what they've accomplished.

I like games that are simple. Not games that are trivial, but also not games that require you to invest a week or to relearn something. I like games that you can just pick up, sit down in front of, and get going.

Our goal has been to stay true to what people most love about the original Pirates! while upgrading, enhancing, and in some cases, re-inventing the game to make it a great experience for todays gamers.
