After being spotted in Denmark and in the port of Flensburg smuggling Rum and Akwavit, pirate RickZeeland is now making the waters around Curacao unsafe again.
He snatched Sid Meier's Pirates! (2005) from Humble Bundle The sale of the seven seas[^] for only €2,49
Defeated the dreaded pirate l'Ollonais, not yet running in full HD on Windows 10, but that will only be a question of time ...
And yes Griff, he was offered the Dutch governors daughter's hand

They come up cheap from time to time on GoG - might be worth waiting, especially if you played the old Infocom and Sierra games (where you died if you were a pixel out of place  )

A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
That must be one of the funniest scenes in gaming history!

Next you will claim to be the Dread Pirate Roberts. 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

En garde, touche!
Oh that is so cliche.

Every enemy I've met I've annihilated.

With your breath, I'm sure they all suffocated.

When your father first saw you, he must have been mortified!
And when you fell off the cliff edge for the first time, and got the Sierra "death box" your heart sank.
"Rubber Tree!"
The relief alone made me laugh every time.

This brings so many memories back.
Stay lucky in the salty waters and always keep your dagger up mate.
May you sail long and never get out of good ol rum!

It also means that our dread pirate here had to win the square dance festival first
Now I know why I sail for Spain and quickly head back to my ship when any invitations to the dance are offered.

A pirate with a wooden leg, a hook and an eye patch walks into a bar.
Bartender asks "What happened to you"?
Pirate says, well lost my leg to a shark in the Caribbean, my hand to a mean croc in Africa and a bird sh*t in my eye.
Bartender responded how is it you lost an eye when a bird sh*t in your eye?
Pirate responded: First day with me hook.

There's multiple versions of that game floating around; on Steam there's the Windows Gold version, which includes a mail-runner, a royal pinnace some more that weren't in the original.
And yes, the Secret of Monkey Island is another good classic. If you want to be a pirate, you need to slay the swordmaster first
